The flavin monooxygenase Bs3 triggers cell death in plants, impairs growth in yeast and produces H2O2 in vitro.

The pepper resistance gene Bs3 triggers a hypersensitive response (HR) upon transcriptional activation by the corresponding effector protein AvrBs3 from the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas. Expression of Bs3 in yeast inhibited proliferation, demonstrating that Bs3 function is not restricted to the pl...
