This study shows the RXLR-EER motif directs RXLR effectors to an unconventional secretion pathway linked to extracellular vesicles in Phytophthora infestans.

The paper shows that RXLR and EER motifs in oomycete effectors are proteolytically processed before secretion, with cleavage sites constrained to specific positions.

This study characterizes the interaction between the WY domain of the P. infestans effector Pi04314 and the host PP1c phosphatase, showing how it mimics host regulatory proteins to promote infection.
