A secreted LysM effector protects fungal hyphae through chitin-dependent homodimer polymerization
Fig 7
Chitin-induced polymerization of Mg1LysM and RiSLM, but not of Ecp6.
Effector proteins were incubated with chitohexaose (chitin) or water as control. After overnight incubation, methylene blue was added and protein solutions were centrifuged, resulting in protein pellets as a consequence of polymerization for Mg1LysM and RiSLM, but not for Ecp6. NP is the ‘no protein’ sample with chitin in the absence of LysM effector protein.
