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

Karine Montet de Guillen, Léa Mammri, Jérôme Gracy…·Marc‐Henri Lebrun

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 blast effector Pwl2 is a virulence factor that modifies the cellular localisation of host protein HIPP43 to suppress immunity.

Vincent M. Were, Yan Xia, Andrew J. Foster…·Nicholas J. Talbot

This study identifies Pwl2 as a virulence factor in the rice blast fungus that suppresses host immunity by altering the localization of HIPP43.
