Widespread signatures of selection for secreted peptidases in a fungal plant pathogen
24 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fungal plant pathogens secrete a large arsenal of hydrolytic enzymes during the course of infection, including peptidases. Secreted peptidases have been extensively studied for their role as effectors. In this study, we combined transcriptomics, comparative genomics and evolutionary analyses to investigate all 39 secreted peptidases in the fungal wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici and its close...
