Primary Identifier | IPR022118 | Type | Family |
Short Name | Peptidase_C70_AvrRpt2 |
description | This is a family of bacterial cysteine proteases. Papain-like cysteine proteases play a crucial role in plant-pathogen/pest interactions. On entering the host they act on non-self substrates, thereby manipulating the host to evade proteolysis []. AvrRpt2 from Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 triggers resistance to P. syringae-2-dependent defence responses, including hypersensitive cell death, by cleaving the Arabidopsis RIN4 protein which is monitored by the cognate resistance protein RPS2 []. |
