In silico characterization of SAP55: insights into a predicted phytoplasmal M41-like metallopeptidase effector with potential eukaryotic host dual lipidation motifs

Abstract Phytoplasmas are cell wall-less, phloem-limited plant pathogenic bacteria that cause devastating agricultural losses globally. Although phytoplasma pathogenicity is driven by secreted effector proteins translocated via the Sec pathway, their identification and functional...
