Together with genome analysis and knock-out mutants, structural and functional characterization of proteins provide valuable hints on the biology of the organism under investigation. Structural characterization can be achieved by techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR, Cryo-EM. The information derived from the structure are a good starting point to comprehend the details of the proteins molecular function for a better understanding of their biological role. This review aims at describing the progress in the structural and functional characterization of proteins from the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora obtained by structural biology and currently deposited in the Protein Data Bank.

来自火疫病病原体 Erwinia amylovora 的蛋白质的结构和功能表征。对现有技术的回顾

连同基因组分析和敲除突变体，蛋白质的结构和功能表征为所研究的生物体的生物学提供了有价值的线索。结构表征可以通过诸如 X 射线晶体学、核磁共振、冷冻电镜等技术来实现。从结构中获得的信息是理解蛋白质分子功能细节以更好地了解其生物学作用的良好起点。本综述旨在描述通过结构生物学获得并目前存放在蛋白质数据库中的植物病原体梨火疫病菌蛋白质的结构和功能表征的进展。
