The eukaryotic oomycetes, or water molds, contain several species that are devastating pathogens of plants and animals. During infection, oomycetes translocate effector proteins into host cells, where they interfere with host-defense responses. For several oomycete effectors (i.e., the RxLR-effectors) it has been shown that their N-terminal polypeptides are important for the delivery into the host. Here we demonstrate that the putative RxLR-like effector, host-targeting protein 1 (SpHtp1), from ...[more]
