Divergent LysM effectors contribute to the virulence of Beauveria bassiana by evasion of insect immune defenses.
The lysin motif (LysM) containing proteins can bind chitin and are ubiquitous in various organisms including fungi. In plant pathogenic fungi, a few LysM proteins have been characterized as effectors to suppress chitin-induced immunity in plant hosts and therefore contribute to fungal virulence. The...
