This protein can be found in the plant pathogenic microbe Pseudomonas syringae strain PtoDC3000. The p. syringae mutautes its host, which in this case is tomato. The p. syringae produces a toxin that cause the tomato to not be able to fight off, there for causing diseases in the tomato. This is relevant because it can affect the food supply, which as humans we need. Studying this mutant will give us an understanding on what the mutation is and if it can be avoided. The research focuses on aldehyde dehydrogenases specifically aldC. aldehyde dehydrogenases are known for its capability to detoxing aldehydes, this is important because aldehydes are very reactive, so for an example from the article they can be turned into carboxylic acids which are not as reactive, which I believe slows down the mutation. | |||
