Abstract NRCs are essential helper NLR (nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat) proteins that execute the immune response triggered by disease resistance proteins, also known as sensor NLRs. The structure of resting state NbNRC2 was recently revealed to be a homodimer. However, sensor-activated has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we used cryo-EM determine NbNRC2, which forms hexameric inflammasome-like resistosome. To confirm functional significance hexamer, mutagenized interfaces involved in oligomerization found mutations three nucleotide-binding interface residues abolish signalling. Comparative structural analyses between homodimer homohexamer significant rearrangements before after activation, providing insights into activation mechanisms. Furthermore, comparisons hexamer previously reported CC-NLR pentameric assemblies features allow for integration an additional protomer. We assess released AlphaFold 3 prediction activated oligomers. This allows high-confidence modelling N-terminal α 1-helices other CC-NLRs, region proven difficult fully resolve using approaches. Overall, our work sheds light on biochemical mechanisms underpinning expands understanding diversity.

Abstract Plant pathogens compromise crop yields. Plants have evolved robust innate immunity that depends in part on intracellular Nucleotide‐binding, Leucine rich‐Repeat (NLR) immune receptors activate defense responses upon detection of pathogen‐derived effectors. Most “sensor” NLRs detect effectors require the activity “helper” NLRs, but how helper support sensor NLR function is poorly understood. Many Solanaceae NRC (NLR‐Required for Cell death) class NLRs. We show here Rpi‐amr3, a from Solanum americanum , detects AVRamr3 potato late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans and activates oligomerization NRC2 NRC4 into high‐molecular‐weight resistosomes. In contrast, recognition P. effector AVRamr1 by another Rpi‐amr1 induces formation only resistosome. The activated oligomer becomes enriched membrane fractions. ATP‐binding motifs both Rpi‐amr3 are required resistosome formation, not interaction with its cognate effector. can be homologs other species.

Plants coordinately use cell-surface and intracellular immune receptors to perceive pathogens mount an response. Intracellular events of pathogen recognition are largely mediated by the nucleotide binding leucine rich-repeat (NLR) classes. Upon perception, NLRs trigger a potent broad-spectrum reaction, usually accompanied form programmed cell death termed hypersensitive Some plant act as multifunctional singleton which combine detection signaling. However, can also function in higher order pairs networks functionally specialized interconnected receptors. In this article, we cover basic aspects NLR biology with emphasis on networks.

Inside host cells, families of nucleotide-binding/leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins serve as sensors or downstream mediators defence outputs cell death, which prevent disease. Established genetic underpinnings NLR-mediated immunity revealed various strategies plants adopt combat rapidly evolving microbial pathogens. The molecular mechanisms NLR activation signal transmission components controlling execution were less clear. Here, we review recent protein structural biochemical insights plant sensor signalling functions. When put together, the data show how different families, whether transducers, converge on nucleotide-based second messengers cellular calcium confer immunity.
