Conserved protein folds underpin the diversification of secreted proteins in a fungal pathogen

Abstract Background During host colonization, fungal plant pathogens secrete effector-like proteins that alter host cell physiology and target plant-associated microbes. However, rapid evolution and low sequence conservation hinder the study and characterization of these proteins. The fungus Zymoseptoria passerinii inf...
