Identification of novel Xanthomonas euvesicatoria type III effector proteins by a machine-learning approach.

Molecular plant pathology
The Gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas euvesicatoria (Xcv) is the causal agent of bacterial spot disease in pepper and tomato. Xcv pathogenicity depends on a type III secretion (T3S) system that delivers effector proteins into host cells to suppress...

Systematic analysis and prediction of type IV secreted effector proteins by machine learning approaches.

Briefings in bioinformatics
In the course of infecting their hosts, pathogenic bacteria secrete numerous effectors, namely, bacterial proteins that pervert host cell biology. Many Gram-negative bacteria, including context-dependent human pathogens, use a type IV secretion syste...

An account of in silico identification tools of secreted effector proteins in bacteria and future challenges.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Bacterial pathogens secrete numerous effector proteins via six secretion systems, type I to type VI secretion systems, to adapt to new environments or to promote virulence by bacterium-host interactions. Many computational approaches have been used i...
