Molecular characterization and functional analysis of the Nep1-like protein-encoding gene from Phytophthora capsici

B. Z. Feng and Li, P. Q., Molecular characterization and functional analysis of the Nep1-like protein-encoding gene from Phytophthora capsici, vol. 12, pp. 1468-1478, 2013.

Phytophthora capsici is an aggressive plant pathogen that affects solanaceous and cucurbitaceous hosts. Nep1-like proteins (NLPs) are a group of effectors found particularly in oomycetes and considered important virulence factors. We identified an NLP gene (phcnlp1) from the highly virulent P. capsici strain Phyc12 that had an encoded polypeptide of 476-amino acid residues and a predicted molecular mass of 51.75 kDa.
