Characterization of LipA from Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri strain 306 pathotype A. Representative results of (a) western-blot of the protein encoded by XAC_RS02605 expressed in E. coli DH5α. (b) Lipase activity around a colony of the transformed E. coli on solid LB medium containing tributyrin, whereas transformant with an empty vector (EV) did not show any activity (n = 3). (c) Esterase activity of secreted extracts measured by fluorescence emitted by degradation of 4-methylumbelliferone (MUB) (n = 4). (d) Hypersensitive response on tobacco leaf infiltrated with cell extracts of E. coli transformed with an empty vector (EV) or containing the XAC_RS02605 cassette (n = 3). (e) Confirmation of disruption of lipA in Xac306 by PCR amplification. (f) Lipase activity around Xac306 colonies (n = 3). (g) Esterase activity of secreted Xac306 extracts (n = 4). (h) Virulence assay on citrus leaf by infiltration of wild type Xac306 and mutant with inactivated lipA. See Methods for more details on assays.
