Plant diseases cause famines, drive human migration, and present challenges to agricultural sustainability as pathogen ranges shift under climate change. breeders discovered Mendelian genetic loci conferring disease resistance specific isolates over 100 years ago. Subsequent breeding for underpins modern agriculture and, along with the emergence focus on model plants genetics genomics research, has provided rich resources molecular biological exploration last 50 years. These studies led identification of extracellular intracellular receptors that convert recognition microbe-encoded patterns or pathogen-delivered virulence effectors into defense activation. receptor systems, downstream responses, define plant immune systems have evolved since migration land ∼500 million Our current understanding provides platform development rational enhancement control many continue plague crop production.

Effector‐dependent activation and oligomerization of plant NRC class helper NLRs by sensor NLR immune receptors Rpi‐amr3 and Rpi‐amr1

The EMBO Journal, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 42(5)

Published: Jan. 2, 2023

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. Mechanistic understanding will underpin engineering crops durable disease resistance.

NLR receptors in plant immunity: making sense of the alphabet soup

EMBO Reports, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 24(10)

Published: Aug. 21, 2023

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. We highlight some recent advances structure, function, activation discuss emerging topics such modulator NLRs, suppression bioengineering. Multi-disciplinary approaches required disentangle how these receptor evolve. Answering questions holds potential deepen our understanding system unlock new era disease resistance breeding.

Oligomerization of a plant helper NLR requires cell-surface and intracellular immune receptor activation

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 120(11)

Published: March 6, 2023

Plant disease resistance involves both detection of microbial molecular patterns by cell-surface pattern recognition receptors and pathogen effectors intracellular NLR immune receptors. NLRs are classified as sensor NLRs, involved in effector detection, or helper required for signaling. TIR-domain-containing (TNLs) require NRG1 ADR1 resistance, activation defense requires the lipase-domain proteins EDS1, SAG101, PAD4. Previously, we found that associates with EDS1 SAG101 a TNL activation-dependent manner [X. Sun et al. , Nat. Commun. 12 3335 (2021)]. We report here how itself during TNL-initiated immunity. Full immunity coactivation mutual potentiation receptor-initiated signaling [B. P. M. Ngou, H.-K. Ahn, Ding, J. D. G.

PTI‐ETI synergistic signal mechanisms in plant immunity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 22(8), P. 2113 - 2128

Published: March 12, 2024

Summary Plants face a relentless onslaught from diverse array of pathogens in their natural environment, to which they have evolved myriad strategies that unfold across various temporal scales. Cell surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) detect conserved elicitors or endogenous molecules released during pathogen invasion, initiating the first line defence plants, known as pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI), imparts baseline level disease resistance. Inside host cells, effectors are sensed by nucleotide‐binding/leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) receptors, then activate second defence: effector‐triggered (ETI), offering more potent and enduring mechanism. Moreover, PTI ETI collaborate synergistically bolster resistance collectively trigger cascade downstream responses. This article provides comprehensive review plant responses, an overview stepwise activation interactions between PTI‐ETI synergistic signal transduction.

WeiTsing, a pericycle-expressed ion channel, safeguards the stele to confer clubroot resistance

Cell, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 186(12), P. 2656 - 2671.e18

Published: June 1, 2023

Plant roots encounter numerous pathogenic microbes that often cause devastating diseases. One such pathogen, Plasmodiophora brassicae (Pb), causes clubroot disease and severe yield losses on cruciferous crops worldwide. Here, we report the isolation characterization of WeiTsing (WTS), a broad-spectrum resistance gene from Arabidopsis. WTS is transcriptionally activated in pericycle upon Pb infection to prevent pathogen colonization stele. Brassica napus carrying transgene displayed strong Pb. encodes small protein localized endoplasmic reticulum (ER), its expression plants induces immune responses. The cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure revealed previously unknown pentameric architecture with central pore. Electrophysiology analyses demonstrated calcium-permeable cation-selective channel. Structure-guided mutagenesis indicated channel activity strictly required for triggering defenses. findings uncover an ion analogous resistosomes triggers signaling pericycle.

Pathogen effector-induced assembly of resistosomes has been established as an important event for nucleotide binding and leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor (NLR) signaling in plants.The pentameric coiled-coil domain-containing NLR (CNL) act Ca2+-permeable channels, whereas the tetrameric Toll-interleukin 1-like (TIR) (TNL) are NADase holoenzymes.TNL catalyze production nucleotide-derived second messengers to activate downstream helper NLRs activated disease resistance 1 (ADR1) N requirement gene (NRG1) CNL class.

Plants possess sophisticated innate immunity system capable of detecting responding pathogen infection prevent disease. Our understanding this has grown enormously over the past century. Early genetic descriptions plant disease resistance virulence were embodied in gene-for-gene hypothesis, while physiological studies identified pathogen-derived elicitors that could trigger defense responses cells tissues. Molecular these phenomena have now coalesced into an integrated model involving cell surface intracellular detection specific molecules proteins culminating induction various cellular responses.

Plant NLR immunity activation and execution: a biochemical perspective

Open Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Plants deploy cell-surface and intracellular receptors to detect pathogen attack trigger innate immune responses. 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. Although pathogen-activated NLRs in engage plant-specific machineries promote defence, comparisons with mammalian receptor counterparts highlight some shared working principles for across kingdoms.
