AVR2, a fungal effector protein targets diversifying defense-related cys proteases of tomato

kavin submitted, created time 8 months 3 days (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

In this paper, secretion of protease inhibitor AVR2 by C. fulvum during infection suggests that tomato papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) are part of the tomato defense response. They show that the tomato apoplast contains a remarkable diversity of PLCP activities with seven PLCPs that fall into four different subfamilies.
