Oomycete and fungal interactions with plants can be neutral, symbiotic or pathogenic with different impact on plant health and fitness. Both fungi and oomycetes can generate so-called effector proteins in order to successfully colonize the host plant. These proteins modify stress pathways, developmental processes and the innate immune system to the microbes’ benefit, with a very different outcome for the plant. Investigating the biological and functional roles of effectors during plant–microbe interactions are accessible through bioinformatics and experimental approaches which can broaden our knowledge about structural biology, sequence motif and domain knowledge of effector proteins from filamentous microbes.
Effector Protein | Fungal Species | Host Species | Characterized Biological Function | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
SP7 | Glomus intraradices | Medicago truncatula | Interacts with JA/ethylene inducible ERF19 transcription factor and down regulates PTI | [8] |
Lysm effector Tal6 | Trichoderma atroviride | Arabidopsis thaliana | Binds to chitin of plant’s cell wall and protects the fungi hyphae from plant’s chitinase favoring Trichoderma interaction and increasing mycoparasitic effect | [11] |
Lysm effector RiSLM | Rhizophagus irregularis | Medicago truncatula | Binds to chitin and chitooligosaccharides of plant’s cell wall and interferes with chitin-triggered immune response protecting hyphae from plant’s chitinase and enabling symbiotic reactions | [12] |
MiSSP7 | Laccaria bicolor | Populus trichocarpa | Suppresses JA-mediated immune response by preventing JA-dependent degradation of PtJAZ6, a negative regulator of JA-induced genes | [13] |
RiCRN1 | Rhizophagus irregularis | Medicago truncatula Nicotiana benthamiana | Establishes a functional AM symbiosis and Arbuscules phosphate transporter gene-MtP4-expression | [14] |
Strigolactone induced secreted protein 1 (SIS1) | Rhizophagus irregularis | Medicago truncatula | Essential for AM symbiosis, gene silencing causes suppression of colonization and production of stunted arbuscules | [15] |
RP8598 and RP23081 | Rhizophagus proliferus | Medicago truncatula Nicotiana benthamiana Allium schoenoprasum | Interacts with JA/ethylene inducible ERF19 transcription factor and down regulates PTI | [16] |
Nuclear localizing effector (RiNLE1) | Rhizophagus irregularis | Medicago truncatula | Interferes with mono-ubiquitination of 2B histone and decreases the expression of defense-related genes while enhancing AM colonization process | [17] |
Hydrophobin-like OmSSP1 | Ericoid mycorrhiza | Vaccinium myrtillu | Mutants are unable to colonize V. myrtillu roots and OmSSP1 may strengthen the attachment of the fungi to the root protecting the hyphae from plant’s immune system | [18] |
PIIN_08944 | Piriformospora indica | Arabidopsis thaliana | Mutants show delayed colonization and PIIN_08944 expression reveals impairment of SA-defense pathway and reduced expression of flg-22 | [19] |
Did1 (PIIN_05872) | Piriformospora indica | - | Interferes with iron-mediated defense response which plays an important role in ROS generation | [20] |
