Two evolutionary distinct effectors from a nematode and virus target RanGAP1 and 2 via the WPP domain to promote disease

This study identifies RanGAP1 and RanGAP2 as common targets of distinct effectors from a nematode and virus, showing their role in pathogenicity and potential involvement in immune receptor function.

Glycine-Rich RNA-Binding Protein 7 interacts with and potentiates effector-induced immunity by Gpa2 and Rx1 based on an intact RNA Recognition Motif

This study identifies NbGRP7 as a novel RNA-binding protein that enhances immunity by interacting with Gpa2 and Rx1, regulating their function through an intact RNA recognition motif.

SIZ1 is a nuclear host target of the nematode effector GpRbp1 from Globodera pallida that acts as a negative regulator of basal plant defense to cyst nematodes

This paper identifies SIZ1 as a target of the nematode effector GpRbp-1, showing it modulates plant defense and susceptibility to cyst nematodes.
