| Primary Identifier | IPR026364 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Ax21 |
| description | This family consists of proteins closely related to Ax21. Ax21 was thought to be secreted by a type I-secretion system and to activate XA21-mediated immunity. Later, it was found that Ax21 secretion does not depend on the predicted type I secretion system and that it is processed by the general secretion (Sec) system. In fact, Ax21 is an outer membrane protein, secreted in association with outer membrane vesicles []. It does not trigger plant XA21-mediated immune response, as previously thought []. This role is performed by RaxX []. |
