Binding of a pathogen effector to rice Exo70 proteins tethered to the NOI/RIN4 integrated domain of the NLR receptor Pii2 confers immunity against fungi

Koki Fujisaki, Yoshiko Abe, Yu Sugihara, Keiichiro Nemoto, Kazue Ito, Eiko Kanzaki, Kazuya Ishikawa, Mari Iwai, Hiroe Utsushi, Hiromasa Saitoh, Hiroki Takagi, Takumi Takeda, Akira Abe, Shuan Zheng, Aleksandra Białas, , Ryohei Terauchi

The paper shows that the rice NLR-ID receptor Pii2 indirectly recognizes the fungal effector AVR-Pii by dissociating Pii2 from host Exo70 proteins, revealing a novel mechanism of pathogen recognition.
