 === How discovered? ===
-//Xanthomonas citri// pv. //citri// (Xcc-A) causing citrus bacterial canker can infect most of the commercial citrus species and are worldwide distributed. Strains that were pathogenic on Key lime (//Citrus aurantifolia//), but that did not cause canker symptoms on grapefruit, were reported in Florida and designated as Xcc-AW. Three clones were selected from a genomic library of the 12879 strain of Xcc-Aw that caused rapid necrosis in grapefruit leaves, but not in tomato leaves when they were expressed in //X. perforans// (Rybak //et al//., 2009). A 1599-bp open reading frame (ORF) was found within the nucleotide sequence of DNA from a 2.3-kb subclone from pL799 that caused HR in grapefruit leaves. The complete sequence of the ORF, designated as //avrGf1// (Rybak //et al//., 2009). Genes //avrGf1// and //avrGf2// were found to share low sequence similarity at the nucleotide level, except for a small region in the last 200 nucleotides of the genes, which showed a high level of identity (68%) (Gochez //et al//., 2017). The alignment of translated proteins AvrGf1 (533 amino acids) and AvrGf2 (509 amino acids) determined that AvrGf2 had a low degree of sequence identity (45% amino acid identity) with the previously identified AvrGf1. The highest sequence similarities were observed between AvrGf1 and AvrGf2 in the C-terminal portions of the effector proteins (74.5% identity at the amino acid level over 51 amino acids) (Gochez //et al//., 2017).

 === (Experimental) evidence for being a T3E ===
+An active TTSS is necessary for HR produced by AvrGf1 in grapefruit leaves, as it was proven by transconjugation experiments (Rybak //et al.//, 2009).
 === Regulation ===
+No data available. The effector gene //xopAG// was however shown to be induced in XVM2 medium compared to NB medium in //X//. //citri// subsp. //citri// A<sup>W</sup> 12879 strain, a variant strain restricted to Mexican lime (Jalan et al., 2013).
 === Phenotypes ===
-All //xopAG//-containing strains of //X. citri// pv. //citri// induced the hypersensitive response (HR) on grapefruit (//Citrus paradisi//) and sweet orange (//C. sinensis//) but express canker symptoms on Key lime (Escalon //et al//., 2013). After infiltration of grapefruit leaves with inoculum adjusted to 5×108 cfu/mL, internal bacterial populations of Xcc-A (strain A 40) and Xcc-Aw (strain 12879) were similar through the second day, but populations of Xcc-A were significantly greater than those of Xcc-Aw after six days. The symptoms caused by the Xac-AwΔavrGf1 strain that was mutated on avrGf1 were more similar to those produced by the wild-type Xac-A strain than to those produced by the wild-type Xac-Aw strain (Rybak //et al//., 2009). So the whole pathogenicity was not restored.

 === Localization ===
-AvrGf1 (Figueiredo //et al//., 2011) and AvrGf2 (Gochez //et al//., 2017) possess a N-terminal chloroplast localization signal. The signal is not shared by all members of the XopAG effector family (Gochez //et al//., 2017). Transient expression of the protein with the first 116 amino acids deleted in grapefruit leaves resulted in the elimination of the HR and a lack of accumulation of the protein in the chloroplast.

 === Enzymatic function ===
+AvrGf2 elicited rapid cell death in grapfruit leaves (Gonchez //et al.//, 2015), detailed enzymatic function has not been determined yet.
 === Interaction partners ===
-The XopAG AvrGf2 effector contains a Cyp-binding site that is essential for the elicitation of HR in citrus (Gochez //et al//., 2017).
+The XopAG AvrGf2 effector contains a Cyp-binding site that is essential for the elicitation of HR in citrus (Gochez //et al.//, 2017). Yeast two-hybrid experiments showed strong interaction of AvrGf2 with grapefruit cyclophilin (GfCyp), whereas mutation of the GPLL motif in the cyclophilin-binding domain abolished the interaction.
