Secreted LysM effector Mg1LysM

UniProtKB accession:  F9XHX3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Secreted effector that enables the plant pathogenic fungus to manipulate host defenses for successful infection (PubMed:21467214). Binds chitin but not cellulose or xylan (PubMed:21467214, PubMed:32574207, PubMed:33797163). Chitin-induced polymerization of homodimers forms a contiguous Mg1LysM highly oligomeric super-complexe that is anchored to the chitin in the fungal cell wall to prevent hydrolysis by host chitinases (PubMed:21467214, PubMed:32574207).
