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

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 characterization remain severely hindered by t...
