RNA-seq of L. japonicus wild type (MG-20) and cypA1 roots.
In most legume-rhizobium symbioses, rhizobial colonization occurs through host-derived intracellular infection threads, which enable recruitment of compatible rhizobia while presumably modulating the host immune system to prevent rejection. To investigate how legumes regulate immune responses through post-translational mechanisms during the infection, we focused on Cyclophilin A (CyPA), a peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase.
