Protein
RxLR effector protein Avh262
Organism
Phytophthora sojae (strain P6497)
Function
Effector that suppresses plant defense responses during the early stages of pathogen infection. Suppresses cell death induced by effectors and PAMPs in plant hosts (PubMed:21653195, PubMed:27256489). Avh262 stabilizes endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-luminal binding immunoglobulin proteins (BiPs), which act as negative regulators of plant resistance to Phytophthora. By stabilizing BiPs, Avh262 suppresses ER stress-triggered cell death and facilitates Phytophthora infection (PubMed:27256489).
Similarity
Belongs to the RxLR effector family.
