Several New Putative Bacterial ADP-Ribosyltransferase Toxins Are Revealed from in silico Data Mining, Including the Novel Toxin Vorin, Encoded by the Fire Blight Pathogen <i>Erwinia amylovora</i>
Mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (mART) toxins are secreted by several pathogenic bacteria that disrupt vital host cell processes in deadly diseases like cholera and whooping cough. In the last two decades, the discovery of mART toxins has helped uncover the mechanisms of disease employed by pathogens im...
