Abstract
We present results of the first comprehensive proteomic analysis of the outer membrane of the bacterial phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii strain 3937 and its response to virulence-contributing factors such as host plant extract, acidic stress, and iron starvation. We analyzed the carbonate-insoluble membrane fractions, which are highly enriched for outer membrane proteins, using two-dimensional electrophoresis and identified the proteins by MALDI-TOF MS. Forty unique proteins were identified, some of which were differentially expressed under the above conditions. Keywords: Dickeya dadantii • outer membrane • proteome • virulence factors • plant extract • acidic stress • iron starvation • post-translational modifications
