Niobium Uptake and Release by Bacterial Ferric Ion Binding Protein by Yanbo Shi, Ian Harvey, Dominic Campopiano, Peter J. Sadler

“…Ferric ion binding proteins (Fbps) transport FeIII across the periplasm and are vital for the virulence of many Gram negative bacteria. Iron(III) is tightly bound in a hinged binding cleft with octahedral coordination geometry involving binding to protein side chains (including tyrosinate residues) together with a synergistic anion such as phosphate. …”

A bacterial type III effector hijacks plant ubiquitin proteases to evade degradation. by Wenjia Yu, Meng Li, Wenjun Wang, Haiyan Zhuang, Jiamin Luo, Yuying Sang, Cecile Segonzac, Alberto P Macho

“…Despite the fact that bacterial effectors are exogenous threatening proteins potentially exposed to the protein degradation systems inside plant cells, effectors are relative stable and able to perform their virulence functions. In this work, we found that RipE1, an effector protein secreted by the bacterial wilt pathogen, Ralstonia solanacearum, undergoes phosphorylation of specific residues inside plant cells, and this promotes its stability. …”
