The Molecular Docking of MAX Fungal Effectors with Plant HMA Domain-Binding Proteins.

ABSTRACT: Fungal effector proteins are important in mediating disease infections in agriculturally important crops. These secreted small proteins are known to interact with their respective host receptor binding partners in the host, either inside the cells or in the apoplastic space, depending on the localisation of the effector proteins. Consequently, it is important to understand the interactions between fungal effector proteins and their target host receptor binding partners, particularly since this can be used for the selection of potential plant resistance or susceptibility-related proteins that can be applied to the breeding of new cultivars with disease resistance. In this study, molecular docking simulations were used to characterise protein-protein interactions between effector and plant r
