Structure of the HopA1(21-102)-ShcA chaperone-effector complex of Pseudomonas syringae reveals conservation of a virulence factor binding motif from animal to plant pathogens.

abstract：:The sdiA gene codes for a protein that regulates expression of the ftsQAZ cluster of essential cell division genes of Escherichia coli. SdiA up-regulates the ftsQ2p promoter that initiates transcription into the ftsQAZ cluster. In this paper, we report that expression of sdiA is itself regulated by a factor that is re...
