Abstract

The article discusses research being done on bacterial virulence. It references the study by V. Nicaise and colleagues on Pseudomonas HopU1 modulates plant immune receptor levels by blocking the interaction of their mRNAs with GRP7 in the February 2013 issue of "EMBO Journal." Results show that plant glycine-rich RNA-binding protein 7 (GRP7) interacts with translation machinery components, indicating that it might promote translation of the two pattern recognition receptor (PRR).
