Ancient co-option of an amino acid ABC transporter locus in Pseudomonas syringae for host signal-dependent virulence gene regulation.
Pathogenic bacteria frequently acquire virulence traits via horizontal gene transfer, yet additional evolutionary innovations may be necessary to integrate newly acquired genes into existing regulatory pathways. The plant bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae relies on a horizontally acquired type...
