Abstract excerpt
Ptr ToxA was the first proteinaceous necrosis-inducing toxin identified and cloned from the wheat pathogen, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis. How this protein causes necrosis in sensitive wheat cultivars is not known. In an effort to understand the structural features of Ptr ToxA required for induction of necrosis, we employed a combination of site-directed mutagenesis and peptide inhibition studies. Mutagenesis was...
