Characterization of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Effector Proteins. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Plants are colonized by various fungi with both pathogenic and beneficial lifestyles. One type of colonization strategy is through the secretion of effector proteins that alter the plant’s physiology to accommodate the fungus. The oldest plant symbionts, the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), may exploit effectors to their benefit.

Effector proteins of rust fungi [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Rust fungi include many species that are devastating crop pathogens. To develop resistant plants, a better understanding of rust virulence factors, or effector proteins, is needed.

Genome-wide characterization of effector proteins in Fusarium zanthoxyli and their effects on plant’s innate immunity responses [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Stem canker of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a destructive forest disease, caused by Fusarium zanthoxyli, poses a serious threat to the cultivation of Z. bungeanum. The lack of research on effector proteins in F. zanthoxyli has severely limited our

Cdc42/Rac Interactive Binding Containing Effector Proteins in Unicellular Protozoans With Reference to Human Host: Locks of the Rho Signaling

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Small GTPases are the key to actin cytoskeleton signaling, which opens the lock of effector proteins to forward the signal downstream in several cellular pathways. Actin cytoskeleton assembly is associated with cell polarity, adhesion, movement and other

Genome-Wide Characterization of Effector Protein-Encoding Genes in Sclerospora graminicola and Its Validation in Response to Pearl Millet Downy Mildew Disease Stress

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is the essential food crop for over ninety million people living in drier parts of India and South Africa. Pearl millet crop production is harshly hindered by numerous biotic stresses. Sclerospora graminicola

Effector protein translocation by the Coxiella burnetii Dot/Icm type IV secretion system requires endocytic maturation of the pathogen-occupied vacuole. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The human pathogen Coxiella burnetii encodes a type IV secretion system called Dot/Icm that is essential for intracellular replication. The Dot/Icm system delivers bacterial effector proteins into the host cytosol during infection.

Identification of common fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) proteins in Fusarium sacchari that inhibit plant immunity and contribute to virulence

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Fusarium sacchari is one of the primary pathogens causing pokkah boeng disease in sugarcane in China. Common fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain-containing proteins only exist in fungi and play a significant role in the interaction of pathogens ...

Methods to Illuminate the Role of Salmonella Effector Proteins during Infection: A Review

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Intracellular bacterial pathogens like Salmonella enterica use secretion systems, such as the Type III Secretion System, to deliver virulence factors into host cells in order to invade and colonize these cells.
