Hrp-controlled interkingdom protein transport: learning from flagellar assembly?
Plant pathogenic bacteria appear to deliver avirulence and virulence proteins through the cell wall and into the host cells via an Hrp (hypersensitive reaction and pathogenicity)-encoded type III secretion system. Recent results suggest that there is a similarity between this secretion system and the flagellum assembly apparatus.
