Effectors secreted by the type III protein secretion system (T3SS) of rhizobia are host-specific determinants of the nodule symbiosis. Here, we have characterized NopD, a putative type III effector of sp. XS1150. NopD was found to possess a functional N-terminal secretion signal sequence that could...
