Abstract
HopH1 is an effector protein of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 and P. syringae pv. syringae B728a and is a homolog of the putative Zn-dependent protease effector Rip36 of Ralstonia solanacearum, which induces hypersensitive response (HR) cell death in a nonhost plant, Solanum torvum Sw. cv. Torubamubiga. Although P. syringae pv. phaseolicola (Pph) 1448A neither produces HopH1 nor induces HR cell death, hopH1-introduced Pph 1448A acquired the ability to induce HR. These results indicate that the putative Zn-protease HopH1 effector induces HR cell death in nonhost S. torvum.
