An orphan protein of Fusarium graminearum modulates host immunity by mediating proteasomal degradation of TaSnRK1α
Fusarium graminearum is a major fungal pathogen of cereals. Here the authors show that F. graminearum secretes an effector, Osp24, that induces degradation of the wheat TaSnRK1α kinase to promote disease while an orphan wheat protein, TaFROG1, can compete with Osp24 for binding to TaSnRK1α and prote...
