Abstract
The project will examine the role of hrp genes in the delivery of signal molecules, such as the protein products of avr genes, from P.s. pv. phaseolicola (Psph) and E. coli to the bean plant. Antibodies to key proteins, from hrpA, hrpC, hrpZ and avrPphF, will be raised and used for immunolocalisation studies, including analysis of bacterial surface structures. Functions of Avr proteins will also be tested by transient expression of avr genes in the plant. The existence of a polarised transfer system in Psph functionally similar to that described in Yersinia will be investigated.
