REQUIREMENT OF A MIP-LIKE GENE FOR VIRULENCE IN THE PHYTOPATHOGENIC BACTERIUM XANTHOMONAS CAMPESTRIS PV. CAMPESTRIS

Requirement of a mip-Like Gene for Virulence in the Phytopathogenic Bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris

Macrophage infectivity potentiators (Mips) are FKBP domain-containing proteins reported as virulence factors in several human pathogens, such as members of genera Legionella, Salmonella and Chlamydia.The putative peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) encoded by XC2699 of the plant bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv.campestris 8004
