    N-terminal effector domains proposed to mediate host-cell entry.

    <p>Effectors from fungal (left) and oomycete (right) pathogens. Divergent oomycete and fungal effectors carry a general secretion signal peptide followed by non-conserved N-terminal regions called “uptake” or “targeting/translocation” domains that have been proposed to mediate host-cell entry. In oomycetes, small conserved amino acids motifs (e.g., RXLR, CHXC, or LFLAK) have been identified within these regions, which help to define effector families with many members.</p

    Integrated process of effector translocation.

    <p>Effectors (blue) follow secretion routes (arrows) within a pathogen (orange), are secreted into host-parasite interfaces (grey), cross a membrane surrounding the host cell (green), and finally enter the host cell cytoplasm. Each translocation step is likely to be influenced by host- and parasite-derived mechanisms that need to be considered when studying effector trafficking.</p

    <p>(A) Schematic representation of a <i>Saprolegnia parasitica</i> hypha (light blue) deploying virulence factors against a fish cell (salmon color). SpHtp1 is translocated inside the host cell, and other factors are secreted to the cell surface (lectins [green circles]) or the extracellular space (proteases [red circles], CHAPs [pink triangles], toxins [HlyE, which presumably targets the host membrane, green bolts] and nucleases [purple squares]). B. An overview of oomycete phylogeny. The main genera are displayed with the plant pathogenic lineages in green, animal parasites in red, and saprophytes in blue. Some genera, such as <i>Pythium</i> and <i>Aphanomyces</i>, include both plant and animal parasitic species. The early branching <i>Eurychasma</i> is an obligate pathogen of marine brown algae.</p

    The rise and fall of <i>P. infestans</i> lineages in the British Isles.

    <p>Frequency of genotypes over the years from the potato blight outbreaks in the British Isles (adapted from Cooke et al. (2012) <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1004028#ppat.1004028-Cooke1" target="_blank">[28]</a>). Isolates of genotypes that occurred at a low frequency in a single year were grouped under the category termed <i>‘misc’</i>. Two mating types of <i>P. infestans</i>, A1 and A2, are necessary for sexual reproduction. The shading between the bars indicates the proportion of A1- and A2-mating-type isolates, with pink referring to the A1 mating type and blue to A2. The data of 1845–1875 and 1978 were from Yoshida et al. (2013) <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1004028#ppat.1004028-Yoshida1" target="_blank">[10]</a> and Fry et al. (1992) <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1004028#ppat.1004028-Fry3" target="_blank">[39]</a>, respectively. A template for the figure was kindly provided by Dr. David Cooke, James Hutton Institute, Dundee <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1004028#ppat.1004028-Cooke1" target="_blank">[28]</a>.</p
