MeSH definition : Virulence factors of pathogenic plant bacteria, such as XANTHOMONAS species, that
bind to specific sequences in the PROMOTER REGIONS of host DNA to induce transcription
of specific host genes. Variations in the DNA binding domain of TALE family members
account for the variations in DNA specificity. The TALE DNA-binding domains are used
in various GENETIC TECHNIQUES by fusing them with various DNA modifying enzymes to
detect and manipulate sequence-specific targeted DNA sites.;
MeSH synonym : Effectors, Transcription Activator-Like; Transcription Activator Like Effectors; TAL Effectors; Effectors, TAL; TAL Effector; Effector, TAL; Transcription Activator-Like Effector; Activator-Like Effector, Transcription; Effector, Transcription Activator-Like; Transcription Activator Like Effector;
