Fungal effector Ecp6 outcompetes host immune receptor for chitin binding through intrachain LysM dimerization
While host immune receptors detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns to activate immunity, pathogens attempt to deregulate host immunity through secreted effectors. Fungi employ LysM effectors to prevent recognition of cell wall-derived chitin by host immune receptors, although the mechanism to...
