TAL Effectors Specificity Stems from Negative Discrimination
Transcription Activator-Like (TAL) effectors are DNA-binding proteins secreted by phytopathogenic bacteria that interfere with native cellular functions by binding to plant DNA promoters. The key element of their architecture is a domain of tandem-repeats with almost identical sequences. Most of the polymorphism is located at two consecutive amino acids termed Repeat Variable Diresidue (RVD). T...
متن کاملTAL effectors from Xanthomonas: design of a programmable DNA-binding specificity
Xanthomonas spp. are Gram-negative bacteria with powerful molecular weapons to attack their plant hosts. Key for pathogenicity of Xanthomonas is a type III secretion system that injects a cocktail of effector proteins into plant cells to function as potent virulence factors. TAL (transcription activator-like) effectors from Xanthomonas function as transcriptional activators of plant genes in th...
متن کاملThe Roles of TAL Effectors in Nature in Relation to their Unique Properties as DNA-Targeting Tools
I will present perspectives on the unique properties of TAL effectors as DNA-targeting tools, and what we can gain from understanding how they work in nature and in plant disease. I’ll begin by comparing and contrasting the CRISPR/Cas9 and TAL-effector nuclease (TALEN) systems to highlight some of the unique features of the latter (Figure 1). TAL-effector nucleases work as dimer proteins. Each ...
متن کاملPredicting promoters targeted by TAL effectors in plant genomes: from dream to reality
INTRODUCTION Transcription Activator-Like (TAL) effectors from the plant pathogenic bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas are molecular weapons injected into eukaryotic cells to modulate the host transcriptome. Upon delivery, TAL effectors localize into the host cell nucleus and bind to the promoter of plant susceptibility (S) genes to activate their expression and thereby facilitate bacterial mult...
متن کاملComputational Predictions Provide Insights into the Biology of TAL Effector Target Sites
Transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors are injected into host plant cells by Xanthomonas bacteria to function as transcriptional activators for the benefit of the pathogen. The DNA binding domain of TAL effectors is composed of conserved amino acid repeat structures containing repeat-variable diresidues (RVDs) that determine DNA binding specificity. In this paper, we present TALgetter, a ...
