Zymoseptoria tritici effectors structurally related to killer proteins UmV-KP4 and UmV-KP6 are toxic to fungi, and define extended protein families in fungi

The paper determines the structures of fungal effectors from Zymoseptoria tritici, identifies their homology to viral killer toxins, and classifies them into structural families.

The Magnaporthe oryzae MAX effector AVR-Pia binds a novel group of rice HMA domain-containing proteins

This study identifies four rice HMA domain-containing proteins as targets of the Magnaporthe oryzae effector AVR-Pia and reveals the molecular basis of their interaction.

The structural landscape and diversity of Pyricularia oryzae MAX effectors revisited

The paper determines NMR structures of four MAX effectors and validates AlphaFold2 predictions, classifying MAX effectors into 20 structural groups based on structural diversity.
