Structural basis for the broad recognition specificity of an Arabidopsis immune receptor

He Zhao, Camille-Madeleine Szymansky, Xue Lyu, Jianhua Huang, Paul Derbyshire, Frank L.H. Menke, Michael W Webster, Sophien Kamoun, Muniyandi Selvaraj, Jonathan D. G. Jones

This study determines the structural basis of broad recognition by the Arabidopsis NLR WRR4A, revealing a shape-based mechanism that enables recognition of diverse effectors with similar three-dimensional architectures.

The mechanism of Ccr4-Not recruitment to specific mRNAs involves sequence-selective tethering by RNA-binding proteins

Michael W Webster, James A. W. Stowell, Lori A. Passmore

The paper shows that RNA-binding proteins selectively tether the Ccr4-Not complex to specific mRNAs through low-complexity sequences and RNA-binding domains, influencing mRNA stability.
