Biochemical properties and effects of NopM, a rhizobial E3 ubiquitin ligase.

Nodulation outer protein M (NopM) is an IpaH family type three (T3) effector secreted by the nitrogen-fixing nodule bacterium sp. strain NGR234. Previous work indicated that NopM is an E3 ubiquitin ligase required for an optimal symbiosis between NGR234 and the host legume Here, we continued to analyze the function of NopM.
