text: The biotrophic pathogen Ustilago maydis, the causative agent of corn smut
disease, infects one of the most important crops worldwide – Zea mays. To successfully
colonize its host, U. maydis secretes proteins, known as effectors, that suppress
plant defense responses and facilitate the establishment of biotrophy. In this
work, we describe the U. maydis effector protein Cce1. Cce1 is essential for virulence
and is upregulated during infection. Through microscopic analysis and in vitro
assays, we show that Cce1 is secreted from hyphae during filamentous growth of
the fungus. Strikingly, Δcce1 mutants are blocked at early stages of infection
and induce callose deposition as a plant defense response. Cce1 is highly conserved
among smut fungi and the Ustilago bromivora ortholog complemented the virulence
defect of the SG200Δcce1 deletion strain. These data indicate that Cce1 is a core
effector with apoplastic localization that is essential for U. maydis to infect
its host.
