The invisibility cloak: Chitin binding protein of <i>Verticillium nonalfalfae</i> disguises fungus from plant chitinases

2018-11-05

Abstract excerpt

During fungal infections, plant cells secrete chitinases that digest chitin in the fungal cell walls. The recognition of released chitin oligomers via lysin motif (LysM)-containing immune receptors results in the activation of defence signalling pathways. We report here that Verticillium nonalfalfae , a hemibiotrophic xylem-invading fungus, prevents this recognition process by secreting a CBM18 (carbohydrate bind...
