Acetylation enables a dual-targeting fungal effector to inhibit insect immunity and development.

Pathogenic microbes deploy secreted effectors to subvert host immunity and physiology across kingdom boundaries, yet the molecular mechanisms that maintain effector competence during this transition remain poorly defined. Here, we identify MrNIS1, an effector from the insect-pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii whos...
