The lytic transglycosylases (LTs) are important enzymes that degrade peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall and affect many biological functions. We present here that XC_0706 and XC_3001 are annotated as the LTs in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. XC_0706 is associated with virulence and plays a pivotal role in cell division. Mutation on XC_3001 reduced hypersensitive response induction and the translocation of type III effector, but did not affect the function of the type II secretion system. Further studies showed that multiple LTs genes contribute to efficiency of the type III secretory system in X. campestris pv. campestris.
溶葡糖苷酶（LTs）是一种重要的酶，可降解细菌细胞壁的肽聚糖并影响许多生物学功能。本研究在野油菜黄单胞菌 pv. 野油菜中鉴定 XC_0706 和 XC_3001 为 LTs。XC_0706 与毒性相关，在细胞分裂中起关键作用。XC_3001 突变后降低了过敏性反应诱导和 III 型效应子的易位，但不影响 II 型分泌系统的功能。进一步研究表明，多个 LTs 基因有助于提高野油菜黄单胞菌 pv. 野油菜中 III 型分泌系统的效率。
