Functionally important and polymorphic residues are presented on the surface of AVR3a11 and PexRD2. a, in AVR3a11, Glu71 and Gln94 (equivalent to the Lys/Glu80 and Ile/Met103 positions of AVR3a), Ser112 (equivalent to Ser132 of AVR3a), and a Tyr residue near the C terminus are located on the protein surface. b, in PexRD2, the polymorphic residues between the P. infestans and P. mirabilis homologues are also surface-displayed. The positions of these residues in the primary sequences of the proteins are shown as brown boxes in Fig. 1b.
