A LysM effector protein from the basidiomycete Rhizoctonia solani contributes to virulence through suppression of chitin-triggered immunity [PDF]
Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2019 Rhizoctonia solani is a fungal species that belongs to the fungal division Basidiomycota. It is a soil-borne pathogen that attacks a broad range of plant species and crops. Disease symptoms are commonly seen as damping off of seedlings and root rot, although it can infect plants at any developmental stage.

Colletotrichum higginsianum extracellular LysM proteins play dual roles in appressorial function and suppression of chitin‐triggered plant immunity [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2016 Summary The genome of the hemibiotrophic anthracnose fungus, Colletotrichum higginsianum, encodes a large repertoire of candidate‐secreted effectors containing LysM domains, but the role of such proteins in the pathogenicity of any Colletotrichum species is unknown.

Chitin and chitin-related compounds in plant–fungal interactions
Mycology, 2018 Chitin is the second abundant polysaccharide in the world after cellulose. It is a vital structural component of the fungal cell wall but not for plants.

Tomato LysM Receptor-Like Kinase SlLYK12 Is Involved in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a widespread symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi (Glomeromycota), which improves the supply of water and nutrients to host plants.

Cryptococcus neoformans chitin synthase 3 plays a critical role in dampening host inflammatory responses [PDF]
, 2020 Cryptococcus neoformans is the most common disseminated fungal pathogen in AIDS patients, resulting in ∼200,000 deaths each year. There is a pressing need for new treatments for this infection, as current antifungal therapy is hampered by toxicity and/or

LIK1, a CERK1-interacting kinase, regulates plant immune responses in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Chitin, an integral component of the fungal cell wall, is one of the best-studied microbe-associated molecular patterns. Previous work identified a LysM receptor-like kinase (LysM-RLK1/CERK1) as the primary chitin receptor in Arabidopsis.

The mutualistic fungus Piriformospora indica colonizes Arabidopsis roots by inducing an endoplasmic reticulum stress-triggered caspase-dependent cell death [PDF]
, 2012 In Arabidopsis thaliana roots, the mutualistic fungus Piriformospora indica initially colonizes living cells, which die as the colonization proceeds. We aimed to clarify the molecular basis of this colonization-associated cell death.
