Article: Research results from University of Geneve update understanding of life sciences.(Report)

New research, 'Rhizobia utilize pathogen-like effector proteins during symbiosis,' is the subject of a report. According to a study from Geneva, Switzerland, "A type III protein secretion system (T3SS) is an important host range determinant for the infection of legumes by Rhizobium sp. NGR234. Although a functional T3SS can have either beneficial or detrimental effects on nodule formation, only the rhizobial-specific positively acting effector proteins, NopL and NopP, have been characterized."

"NGR234 possesses three open reading frames potentially encoding homologues of effector proteins from pathogenic bacteria. NopJ, NopM and NopT are secreted by the T3SS of ...
