+Type III-dependent secretion was confirmed using a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase reporter assay, with a Δ//hrpF// mutant strain serving as negative control (Roden //et al.//, 2004). XopN<sub>//Xoo//13751</sub> was confirmed to have a functional type III secretion signal using a reporter fusion with AvrBs1 (Zhao //et al.//, 2013).
 === Regulation ===
 Start codon of //xopN// was found downstream of a conserved cis-regulatory element, the plant-inducible promoter (PIP) box (TTCGG-N15-TTCTG). //xopN// is regulated by //hrpX// and //hrpG// genes (Jiang //et al//., 2008; Cheong //et al//., 2013).
-qRT-PCR revealed that transcript levels of 15 out of 18 tested non-TAL effector genes (as well as the regulatory genes //hrpG// and //hrpX//) were significantly reduced in the //Xanthomonas oryzae// pv. //oryzae// Δ//xrvC// mutant compared with those in the wild-type strain PXO99<sup>A</sup>  , but this did not apply to //xopN// (Liu //et al.//, 2016).

   * The role of XopN in X. oryzae pv. oryzae is dependent on leaf stage (Cheong et al., 2013).
   * XopN has been shown to be required for maximal pathogenicity of //X. axonopodis//  pv. //punicae//  (//Xap//) in pomegranate (Kumar and Mondal, 2013). The deletion of XopN from Xap caused higher accumulation of reactive oxygen species showing that XopN suppresses ROS-mediated defense responses during blight pathogenesis in pomegranate (Kumar //et al.//, 2016).
-  * A Δ//xopN//–Δ//xopQ //double knock-out mutant in //X. phaseoli//  pv. //manihotis//  (//Xpm//) was less aggressive in the cassava host plant than its single mutation counterparts. In addition, //in planta //  bacterial growth was reduced at 5 dpi in the double mutant with respect to the wild-type strain CIO151 and individual knock-out strains. The phenotype of the double mutant could be complemented when transforming a plasmid containing //xopQ//. These results confirmed that //xopN //and// xopQ //are functionally redundant in //Xpm//  (Medina //et al.//, 2017).

XopN was shown to contribute significantly to //X. oryzae//  pv. //oryzae//  (Xoo) virulence on a susceptible rice variety Nipponbare.

 Two rice proteins, OsVOZ2 and a putative thiamine synthase (OsXNP) were identified as targets of XopN<sub>KXO85</sub>  by yeast two-hybrid screening (Cheong et al., 2012).
