A secreted LysM effector protects fungal hyphae through chitin-dependent homodimer polymerization
Fig 5
Mg1LysM mutants are impaired in protection against chitinases.
(A) Trichoderma viride incubated with Mg1LysM with the amine-reactive fluorescent dye BODIPY, or with BODIPY only as a control, for 4 hours and bright field and fluorescence microscopy pictures are shown. (B) Microscopic pictures of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici grown in vitro in the absence or presence of wild-type or mutant Mg1LysM, 4 hours after addition of tomato hydrolytic enzymes (HE) that include chitinases, or water as control.
