Allosteric activation of the co-receptor BAK1 by the EFR receptor kinase initiates immune signaling

H. Mühlenbeck, Y. Tsutsui, M. Lemmon, K. W. Bender, C. Zipfel

This study identifies a non-catalytic activation mechanism for the LRR-RK EFR, showing it allosterically activates BAK1 through conformational changes.

ACTIVATION LOOP PHOSPHORYLATION OF A NON-RD RECEPTOR KINASE INITIATES PLANT INNATE IMMUNE SIGNALING

K. W. Bender, D. Couto, Y. Kadota, A. P. Macho, J. Sklenar, M. Bjornson, A. Petriello, M. Font Farre, B. Schwessinger, V. Ntoukakis, L. Stransfeld, A. M. E. Jones, F. L. Menke, c. zipfel

This study investigates the activation mechanism of a non-RD LRR-RK, showing that phosphorylation of its cytoplasmic domain initiates immune signaling without requiring reciprocal transphosphorylation.
