Abstract excerpt
Cerato-platanin family (CPF) proteins are produced by fungi and elicit defences when applied to plants, behaving as PAMPs/MAMPs. CPF proteins share structural similarity to plant and bacterial expansins, and have been demonstrated, in some cases, to possess expansin-like loosening activity on cellulose. This is the case of cerato-platanin (CP), the founder of the CPF, which shows both eliciting and...
