Agrobacterium VirE2 Protein Modulates Plant Gene Expression and Mediates Transformation From Its Location Outside the Nucleus
Agrobacterium effector protein VirE2 is important for plant transformation. VirE2 likely coats transferred DNA (T-DNA) in the plant cell and protects it from degradation. VirE2 localizes to the plant cytoplasm and interacts with several host proteins. Plant-expressed VirE2 can complement a virE2 mut...
