Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (C), antigen 5 (A), and pathogenesis-related 1 proteins (P) comprise widespread CAP superfamily proteins, which have been proven to be novel virulence factors of mammalian pathogenic fungi and some plant pathogens. Despite this, the identification and function of CAP proteins in more species of plant pathogens still need to be studied. This work presents the identification and functional analysis of CAP superfamily proteins from f.

- The text discusses the discovery of a new virus called Puccinia striiformis virus 5 (PsV5), found in the wheat stripe rust fungus, which is responsible for significant agricultural damage.
- PsV5 has two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs): one for RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and another reverse-frame ORF of unknown function, both of which express proteins that affect the fungus's behavior.
- Transgenic wheat lines with overexpressed PsV5 become more susceptible to the stripe rust fungus, while RNA interference lines show more resistance, highlighting the virus's role in increasing fungal virulence and offering potential strategies for controlling wheat diseases.
