Protein
RxLR effector protein Avh240
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). Avh240 dimerizes and localizes at the plasma membrane to interfere with aspartic protease AP1 secretion, which presents an effective mechanism by which effector proteins suppress plant apoplastic immunity (PubMed:30703565).
Similarity
Belongs to the RxLR effector family.
