Summary In Liberibacter asiaticus , PrbP is a transcriptional regulatory protein involved in survival and persistence during host infection. Tolfenamic acid was previously found to inhibit interactions between PrbP and the promotor region of rplK , resulting in reduced survival of L . asiaticus in the citrus host. In this study, we performed transcriptome analyses to elucidate the PrbP regulon in L . crescens , as it is phylog...

Summary Liberibacter asiaticus is the prevalent causative pathogen of Huanglongbing or citrus greening disease, which has resulted in a devastating crisis in the citrus industry. A thorough understanding of this pathogen's physiology and mechanisms to control cell survival is critical in the identification of therapeutic targets. YbeY is a highly conserved bacterial RNase that has been implicated in multiple roles. In this stu...
