Functional and computational analysis of amino acid patterns predictive of type III secretion system substrates in Pseudomonas syringae.

Bacterial type III secretion systems (T3SSs) deliver proteins called effectors into eukaryotic cells. Although N-terminal amino acid sequences are required for translocation, the mechanism of substrate recognition by the T3SS is unknown. Almost all actively deployed T3SS substrates in the plant path...
