Abstract
The Phytotoxin syringomycin is produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and is a major virulence factor in plant diseases caused by this organism (DeVay, et al., 1968; Sinden, et al., 1971; Gross and DeVay, 1977). Recent work has shown that syringomycin acts primarily at the plasma membranes of plant and yeast cells (Zhang and Takemoto, 1986; Zhang and Takemoto, 1987; Bidwai, et al., 1987). Among its effects on plasma membrane are hyperpolarization (Zhang and Takemoto, 1986; Zhang and Takemoto, 1987; Reidl and Takemoto, 1987), alterations of proton and potassium fluxes (Zhang and Takemoto, 1987; Reidl and Takemoto, 1987), stimulation of the proton-pump ATPase (Bidwai, et al., 1987), and an increase in the rates of protein phosphorylation (Bidwai and Takemoto, 1987).
