| Abstract |
Bacterial blight of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the most important crop diseases in the world. More insights into the mechanistic regulation of bacterial pathogenesis will help us identify novel molecular targets for developing effective disease control strategies. A large flagellar gene cluster is regulated under a three-tiered hierarchy by σ(54) factor RpoN2 and its activator FleQ, and σ(28) factor FliA. A hypothetical protein gene fliTX is located upstream of rpoN2, however, how it is regulated and how it is related to bacterial behaviors remain to be elucidated. Sequence alignment analysis indicated that FliTX in Xoo is less well conserved compared with FliT proteins in Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Co-transcription of fliTX with a cytosolic chaperone gene fliS and an atypical PilZ-domain gene flgZ in an operon was up-regulated by RpoN2/FleQ and FliA. Significantly shorter filament length and impaired swimming motility were observed in ∆fliTX compared with those in the wildtype strain. ∆fliTX also demonstrated reduced disease lesion length and in planta growth in rice, attenuated ability of induction of hypersensitive response (HR) in nonhost tobacco, and down-regulation of type III secretion system (T3SS)-related genes. In trans expression of fliTX gene in ∆fliTX restored these phenotypes to near wild-type levels. This study demonstrates that RpoN2- and FliA-regulated fliTX is indispensible for flagellar motility and virulence and provides more insights into mechanistic regulation of T3SS expression in Xoo. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 March 2018.
All research outputs
#18,590,133
of 23,026,672 outputs
Outputs from BMC Microbiology
#2,263
of 3,213 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#243,551
of 317,988 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Microbiology
#33
of 61 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,026,672 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,213 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,988 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 61 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
