The Ustilago maydis effector Pep1 suppresses plant immunity by inhibition of host peroxidase activity.
The corn smut Ustilago maydis establishes a biotrophic interaction with its host plant maize. This interaction requires efficient suppression of plant immune responses, which is attributed to secreted effector proteins. Previously we identified Pep1 (Protein essential during penetration-1) as a secr...
