A Fungal Effector With Host Nuclear Localization and DNA-Binding Properties Is Required for Maize Anthracnose Development [PDF]
, 2016 Plant pathogens have the capacity to manipulate the host immune system through the secretion of effectors. We identified 27 putative effector proteins encoded in the genome of the maize anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola that are likely to ...

Phylogenetic Analysis of Fungal Centromere H3 Proteins [PDF]
Genetics, 2006 Abstract Centromere H3 proteins (CenH3's) are variants of histone H3 specialized for packaging centromere DNA. Unlike canonical H3, which is among the most conserved of eukaryotic proteins, CenH3's are rapidly evolving, raising questions about orthology and conservation of function across species.

Deciphering effector function in the Magnaporthe oryzae rice interaction [PDF]
, 2011 Effectors are central to virulence in all pathogenic organisms and to their adaptation to specific hosts. However, the role and molecular function of fungal effector proteins is largely unknown. A better understanding of fungal effectors is necessary for

Enhanced Antifungal Activity of Engineered Proteins via Swapping between Thioredoxin H2 and H3
Applied Sciences, 2019 Thioredoxins (Trxs) are proteins that act as antioxidants by facilitating the reduction of other proteins and are highly conserved in all organisms. Plant H-type Trx isoforms have different structures and perform multiple functions. Previous studies have

Proteomic profile of the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa in response to PR10 from Theobroma cacao : [Abstract R9140] [PDF]
, 2011 Witches' broom disease is caused by the hemibiotrophic basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa. This pathogen is the main cause of the decline in cocoa production, and consequently of social, economic and environmental problems.

At the nexus of three kingdoms: the genome of the mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita provides insights into plant, endobacterial and fungal interactions. [PDF]
, 2020 As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina) symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some uncultivable endobacteria.
