Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Citrus, mainly mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco), is an economically important fruit crop in Bhutan. Despite having favorable agroclimatic conditions for citrus cultivation, the early decline of fruit-bearing orchards coupled with low crop productivity is a major concern among citrus growers. During a recent survey, an association of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (citrus greening) and citrus tristeza virus (CTV), either singly or as mixed infections in declined citrus trees, was recorde

Abstract
The amino acid‐binding receptors, a component of ABC transporters, have evolved to cater to different specificities and functions. Of particular interest are cystine‐binding receptors, which have shown broad specificity. In the present study, a putative periplasmic cystine‐binding protein from Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLasTcyA) was characterized. Analysis of the CLasTcyA sequence and crystal structures in the ligand‐bound state revealed novel features of CLasTcyA in comparison to relat
