The role of a P1-type ATPase from Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 in copper homeostasis and plant colonization.
Xue-Xian Zhang,Paul B. Rainey +1 more
TL;DR: A functional role for CueA in copper homeostasis is demonstrated and an ecologically significant contribution to bacterial fitness in the plant rhizosphere is revealed, suggesting that copper ions accumulate on plant surfaces.

Correction: Genomic Analysis of the Kiwifruit Pathogen pv. Provides Insight into the Origins of an Emergent Plant Disease.
Honour C. McCann,Rikkerink Eha,Frederic Bertels,Mark Fiers,Ashley Lu,Jonathan Rees-George,Mark T. Andersen,Andrew P. Gleave,Bernhard Haubold,Mark Wohlers,David S. Guttman,Pauline W. Wang,Christina Straub,Joel L. Vanneste,Paul B. Rainey,Templeton +15 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Psa is comprised of distinct clades exhibiting negligible within-clade diversity, consistent with disease arising by independent samplings from a source population, and the importance of the source population as a reservoir of new disease.

Microbes are not bound by sociobiology: Response to Kümmerli and Ross‐Gillespie (2013)
Paul B. Rainey,Nicolas Desprat,Nicolas Desprat,William W. Driscoll,William W. Driscoll,Xue-Xian Zhang +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the sociobiology framework applied to microbes is a hypothesis that requires rigorous and careful appraisal and that the conclusions of K&R are based on a lack of understanding of redox chemistry and on misinterpretation of data.

Role of the transporter-like sensor kinase CbrA in histidine uptake and signal transduction
Xue-Xian Zhang,Jonathan C. Gauntlett,Darby G. Oldenburg,Gregory M. Cook,Paul B. Rainey,Paul B. Rainey +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that suggests that CbrA plays a dual role in histidine uptake and sensing and that transport is dependent on signal transduction, which would make sense for systems that couple the process of signaling and transport within a single protein and where transport is itself the stimulus that precipitates signal transduct to have evolved.

Mini-Tn7 vectors for studying post-transcriptional gene expression in Pseudomonas
TL;DR: It is shown that promoterless fusions have value for determining levels of translation, whereas fusions to inducible promoters have utility in the analysis of mRNA-binding factors.
