So some strains of Erwinia also produce a methyltransferase - Pectic methyltransferases

  7. Another type of virulence function : Quorum sensing But first – Quorum sensing in Vibrio fischeri. The range of acyl homoserine lactams (AHL) associated with plant pathogens Quorum sensing in Erwinia.

  9. Toxins Produced byP. syringae pathovars Toxin Pathovar Function or Target Symptoms Syringomycin syringae Forms pores in plasma membrane Necrosis Syringopeptin syringae Coronatine e.g. tomato, Molecular Mimic of the plant Chlorosis signal, jasmonic acid. Tagetitoxin tagetis Inhibitor of chloroplast RNA Chlorosis polymersase Phaseolotoxin phaseolicola Inhibitor of ornthine Chlorosis carbamoyltransferase Tabtoxin tabaci Inhibitor of glutamine synthase Chlorosis

  10. Phaseolotoxin is produced by P. syringae p.v. phaseolicola which cauyse halo blight on legumes and bacterial canker. It consists of a sulphodiaminophosphinyl moiety linked to a tri-peptide consisting of ornithine, alanine and homoarginine (Fig. 1). PHASEOTOXIN Fig. 1. The structure of phaseolotoxin. Plant peptidase cleave phasolotoxin (arrow) to release the alanine and homooarginine residues, a reaction that results in octicidine (Psorn) formation. Phaseolotoxin competitively inhibit ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCTase), a critical enzyme in the Urea cycle which converts ornithine and carbamoyl phosphate to citrulline (Fig.2). Psorn (Nd-[N’sulphodiaminophosphyinyl) – L- orthinine)is an irreversible inhibitor of OCTase. Inhibition of OCTasa casues an accumulation of ornithine and a defiency in the intracellular pools of argnine, leading to necrosis. Fig. 2. Mechanism of action of octicidine (Psorn), the toxic moiety Of phaseolotoxin.
