Three LysM effectors of Zymoseptoria tritici collectively disarm chitin-triggered plant immunity

H. Tian, C. McKenzie, L. Rodriguez-Moreno, G. van den Berg, H. Chen, j. Rudd, J. Mesters, B. Thomma

This study identifies three LysM effectors in Zymoseptoria tritici that suppress chitin-triggered wheat immunity by binding chitin, inhibiting ROS production, and protecting fungal hyphae from chitinase.

Fungal dual-domain LysM effectors undergo chitin-induced intermolecular, and not intramolecular, dimerization

H. Tian, G. Fiorin, A. Kombrink, J. Mesters, B. Thomma

This study shows that fungal dual-domain LysM effectors form intermolecular rather than intramolecular dimers upon chitin binding, leading to lower affinity compared to Ecp6 but enabling polymer formation.

A secreted LysM effector protects fungal hyphae through chitin-dependent homodimer polymerization

A. Sanchez-Vallet, H. Tian, L. Rodriguez-Moreno, D.-J. Valkenburg, R. Saleem-Batcha, S. Wawra, A. Kombrink, L. Verhage, R. de Jonge, P. van Esse, A. Zuccaro, D. Croll, J. Mesters, B. Thomma

The paper identifies Mg1LysM's role in forming chitin-dependent and independent homodimers, which protect fungal cell walls from host chitinase hydrolysis.
