Elicitin-induced distal systemic resistance in plants is mediated through the protein-protein interactions influenced by selected lysine residues
Elicitins are a family of small proteins with sterol-binding activity that are secreted by Phytophthora and Pythium spp. classified as oomycete PAMPs. Although alfa- and beta-elicitins bind with the same affinity to one high affinity binding site on the plasma membrane, beta-elicitins (possessing 6-...
