Oligomerization of the NLR immune receptor RPP7 triggered by the atypical resistance protein RPW8/HR as a ligand

Show abstract
In certain plant hybrids, autoimmunity is triggered by immune components that interact in the absence of a pathogen trigger. Often, NLR immune receptors are involved, with a particularly interesting case in Arabidopsis thaliana involving variants of the NLR RPP7 as well as variants of RPW8/HR proteins, which are homologs of animal MLKL and fungal HELL domain proteins. We demonstrate that HR4Fei-0 but not the closely related HR4Col-0 protein directly disrupts intramolecular association of RPP7bLerik1-3, which in turn initiates P-loop dependent NLR signaling. In agreement, RPP7bLerik1-3 forms a higher-order complex only in the presence of HR4Fei-0 but not HR4Col-0. In addition, we find that HR4Fei-0 on its own can form detergent-resistant oligomers suggestive of amyloid-like aggregates, which in turn can directly kill cells in an RPP7bLerik1-3-independent manner. Our work provides in vivo biochemical evidence for a plant resistosome complex and the mechanisms by which RPW8/HR proteins trigger cell death.

"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.
