Abstract
Here we describe the proteome of the fungus Hemileia vas-tatrix by label free mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). H. vas-tatrix is the causal agent of coffee rust disease, causing great economic losses in this crop. The objective of our work was to identify H. vastatrix proteins potentially in-volved in host colonization and infection, by exploring the shotgun proteomics approach. A total of 742 proteins were identified and are associated with several crucial molecu-lar functions, biological processes, and cellular components. The proteins identified contribute to a better understand-ing of the metabolism of the fungus and may help identify target proteins for the development of specific drugs in or-der to control coffee rust disease.
