DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Yersinia effector known as YopT and a Pseudomonas avirulence protein known as AvrPphB define a family of 19 proteins involved in bacterial pathogenesis. We show that both YopT and AvrPphB are cysteine proteases, and their proteolytic activities are dependent upon the invariant C/HID residues conserved in the entire YopT family. YopT cleaves the post-translationally modified Rho GTPases near their carboxyl termini, releasing them from the membrane. This leads to the disruption of actin cytoskeleton in host cells. The proteolytic activity of AvrPphB is essential for autoproteolytic cleavage of an AvrPphB precursor as well as for eliciting the hypersensitive response in plants. The biochemical functions of most avirulence (Avr) proteins are unknown. This proposal focuses on developing a molecular understanding of how the AvrPphB family of proteins is activated and post-translationally modified. In addition, efforts to identify the substrate(s) for AvrPphB are described. Finally, we propose to obtain the x-ray structure of AvrPphB complexed with a peptide substrate. These experiments will provide us with new insights into the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis.

描述（由申请人提供）：耶尔森氏菌效应子（称为YopT）和假单胞菌无毒蛋白（称为AvrPphB）定义了一个涉及细菌发病机制的19种蛋白质家族。我们表明，YopT和AvrPphB是半胱氨酸蛋白酶，它们的蛋白水解活性依赖于在整个YopT家族中保守的不变C/HID残基。YopT在其羧基末端附近切割后修饰的Rho GTP酶，将其从膜释放。这导致宿主细胞中肌动蛋白细胞骨架的破坏。AvrPphB的蛋白水解活性对于AvrPphB前体的自蛋白水解切割以及引发植物中的过敏反应是必不可少的。大多数无毒（Avr）蛋白的生化功能是未知的。该提案的重点是开发AvrPphB蛋白家族如何被激活和后修饰的分子理解。此外，还描述了鉴定AvrPphB底物的努力。最后，我们建议获得与肽底物复合的AvrPphB的X射线结构。这些实验将为我们提供新的见解发病的分子机制。
