Our new preprint is out! Alphafold2 couldn’t do it so we solved the structure of the Pgt effector AvrSr27! 🔥Spoiler: it’s got a novel zinc bound fold important for recognition by Sr27! Thanks to all the co-authors for making this happen! 🌿
AvrSr27 is a zinc-bound effector with a modular structure important for immune recognition biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

Science road trip to discuss chytrid, frogs + effectors 🐸
Fun visit with @MeganOutram91 to learn all things chytrid from Lee Berger & Lee Skerratt - very interesting links between plant fungal pathogens and chytrid - excited to get this program going @ourANU
