The Magnaporthe oryzae effector AVR-Pia interacts with the heavy metal associated (HMA) domain of a rice (Oryza sativa) HMA plant protein OsHPP09
On the right is the Magnaporthe oryzae fungus, and on the left is the rice seedling. In the circle, the structures of OsHPP09-HMA and AVR-Pia are represented as teal and gold ribbons, respectively. The amino acids comprising β2 of AVR-Pia and β2 of the HMA domain are represented as cylinders. Side chains involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonds or salt bridges are also represented as cylinders. Hydrogen bonds are represented by black dashed lines. Maidment et al. 2026
