ABSTRACT Parasites can counteract host immunity by suppressing nucleotide binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins that function as immune receptors. We previously showed a cyst nematode virulence effector SPRYSEC15 (SS15) binds inhibits oligomerisation of helper NLR in the expanded NRC1/2/3 clade preventing intramolecular rearrangements required for NRC into an activated resistosome. Here we examined degree to which from multiple Solanaceae species are sensitive suppression SS15 tested hypotheses about adaptive evolution interface between inhibitor proteins. Whereas all orthologs NRC2 were inhibited SS15, some natural variants NRC1 NRC3 insensitive suppression. Ancestral sequence reconstruction combined with functional assays revealed transitioned ancestral suppressed form one over 19 million years ago. Our analyses evolutionary trajectory coevolution parasite its receptor target, identifying key transitions NLRs this inhibition. This work reveals distinct type gene-for-gene interaction or pathogen immunosuppressors receptors contrasts AVR effectors

To fight against invasion by pathogens, plants have evolved an elaborate innate immune system, of which the nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor (NLR) acts as sensor and executor. Potyviruses, comprising one largest genera plant viruses, cause severe crop yield losses worldwide. Inherited resistance to potyviruses can be used in breeding transgenesis control disease development. This review summarizes achievements mapping cloning NLR genes conferring dominant potyvirus families Fabaceae, Solanaceae, Brassicaceae, Cucurbitaceae. It compares mechanisms potyviral protein recognition downstream signaling employed NLRs discusses strategies for exploiting better diseases caused potyviruses.
