Secreted effector that contributes moderately to virulence during infection by P.capsici. Causes only small yellow areas at 3 days after inoculation of host C.annuum leaves; these areas expand somewhat and became necrotic at 7 days after inoculation. Leads only to chlorotic areas, without necrosis at 7 days after non-host N.benthamiana leaves infection. Expression gradually increases to a maximum at 7 days after inoculation of pepper leaves. The structure of NLP effectors is remarkably conserved with a high level of conservation of a central hepta-peptide motif GHRHDWE. Belongs to the Necrosis inducing protein (NPP1) family.
