A M35 family metalloprotease is required for fungal virulence against insects by inactivating host prophenoloxidases and beyond

A diverse family of metalloproteases (MPs) is distributed in eukaryotes. However, the functions of MPs are still understudied. We report that seven MPs belonging to the M35 family are encoded in the genome of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii. By gene deletions and insect bioassays,...
