Regressive evolution of an effector following a host jump in the Irish Potato Famine Pathogen Lineage

E. K. Zess, Y. F. Dagdas, E. Peers, A. Maqbool, M. J. Banfield, T. O. Bozkurt, S. Kamoun

The paper shows that a key functional motif in the effector PexRD54 of Phytophthora mirabilis degenerated after a host jump, leading to reduced interaction with host ATG8 proteins.

N-terminal β-strand underpins biochemical specialization of an ATG8 isoform

E. K. Zess, C. Jensen, N. Cruz-Mireles, J. C. De la Concepcion, J. Sklenar, R. Imre, E. Roitinger, R. Hughes, K. Belhaj, K. Mechtler, F. Menke, T. Bozkurt, M. Banfield, S. Kamoun, A. Maqbool, Y. Dagdas

The paper identifies the N-terminal β-strand and a single amino acid polymorphism as key determinants of binding specificity for the ATG8 isoform in potato, shaping interactions with PexRD54 and other plant proteins.

Lessons in effector and NLR biology of plant-microbe systems

A. Bialas, E. K. Zess, J. C. De la Concepcion, M. Franceschetti, H. G. Pennington, K. Yoshida, J. L. Upson, E. Chanclud, C.-H. Wu, T. Langner, A. Maqbool, F. A. Varden, L. Derevnina, K. Belhaj, K. Fujisaki, , S. Kamoun

The paper examines three effectors from the rice blast fungus and their corresponding rice NLR immune receptors to highlight general concepts of plant-microbe interactions and identify 12 lessons in effector and NLR biology.
