The analysis of a loss-of-function mutant of the hpa2 gene suggests that the hpa2 affects bacterial proliferation in host plants and a hypersensitive response in nonhost plants. As this is the first of such enzyme activity identified in the Hrp protein family, we speculate that the Hpa2 contributes to the assembly of the TTSS by enlarging gaps in the peptidoglycan meshwork of bacterial cell walls.<ref>Zhang, et al. "A Conserved Hpa2 Protein Has Lytic Activity Against the Bacterial Cell Wall in Phytopathogenic Xanthomonas Oryzae." Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnology 79.4 (2008): 1. Web. 19 Nov. 2013. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18431569 NCBI.nlm.nih.gov]</ref> Hpa2 also plays a role in governing gene expression through its effects on chromatin structure and assembly. Additionally, it affects gene regulation, antibiotic resistance, and hormonal regulation of circadian rhythms.
