Endofungal Mycetohabitans (formerly Burkholderia ) spp. rely on a type III secretion system to deliver mostly unidentified effector proteins when colonizing their host fungus, Rhizopus microsporus . The one known secreted family from consists of homologues transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors, which are used by plant pathogenic Xanthomonas and Ralstonia activate genes that promote disease. These ‘ TAL-like (Btl)’ bind corresponding specific DNA sequences in predictable manner, but...
