Disease relevance of nodJ

Nucleotide sequencing of Mudll PR13 insertions in the nodulation region of the symbiotic plasmid from a Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli strain CE3 has revealed the presence of nodL and nodJ-related sequences downstream of nodC [1].
The NodL and NodJ nodulation proteins have been described in different Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium species [1].
The NodL and NodJ proteins from Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium strains are similar to capsular polysaccharide secretion proteins from gram-negative bacteria [1].

High impact information on nodJ

By contrast, mutations in the nodI and nodJ genes produced a Nod+ phenotype with a reduced number of nodules on the temperate hosts [2].
Furthermore, a strain with a deletion of the nodI- and nodJ-like genes downstream of nodC had a Nod+ phenotype [3].
