A recent study (Misas-Villamil et al., Nat. Commun., 2019) reveals that Pit2, an apoplastic effector of the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis, contains an embedded motif of 14 amino acids that binds to and inhibits plant cysteine proteases, thereby modulating host immunity. Intriguingly, the inhibitory motif acts by mimicking the protease substrate and is conserved across microbial kingdoms.
