1H, 13C, 15*N backbone and side-chain NMR assignments for three MAX effectors from Magnaporthe oryzae
Effectors are small and very diverse proteins secreted by fungi and translocated in plant cells during infection. Among them, MAX effectors (for Magnaporthe Avrs and ToxB) were identified as a family of effectors that share an identical fold topology despite having highly divergent sequences. They are mostly secreted by ascomycetes from the Magnaporthe genus, a fungus that causes the rice blast, a plant disease leading to huge crop losses. As rice is the first source of calories in many...
