White blister rust, caused by the oomycete Albugo candida, is a widespread disease of Brassica crops. The Arabidopsis CSA1/DAR4 (also known as CSA1/CHS3) paired immune receptor carries an Integrated Domain (ID) with homology to the DA1 family of peptidases. Using domain swaps with DA1 family members, we show that the DAR4 ID acts as an integrated decoy for DAR3, which interacts with and inhibits the peptidase activities of DA1, DAR1 and DAR2 family members. Albugo infection rapidly lowered DAR3 levels and activates DA1 peptidase activity. This promotes endoreduplication of host tissues to support pathogen growth. We propose that DAR4/CSA1 senses the actions of a putative Albugo effector that reduces DAR3 levels and initiates defense.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
