Rhizobial effector NopM ubiquitinates Nod factor receptor NFR5 and promotes rhizobial infection in Lotus japonicus

Yanan Wang, Hanbin Bao, Yutao Lei, Zhongmin Zou, Lifa Yuan, Haoxing Li, Hui Zhu, Dawei Xin, Christian Staehelin, Yangrong Cao

This study identifies NopM as a rhizobial effector that ubiquitinates NFR5, enhancing infection of Lotus japonicus by modulating Nod factor signaling.

Nodulation Trio in Medicago truncatula: Unveiling the Overlapping Roles of MtLYK2, MtLYK3, and MtLYK2bis

Yaohua Li, Yanwen Zhao, Ziang Yan, Ru Dong, Haixiang Yu, Hui Zhu, Yangrong Cao

This study investigates the roles of MtLYK2, MtLYK3, and MtLYK2bis in Medicago truncatula nodulation using CRISPR/Cas mutants, finding redundant functions and suggesting a one-receptor model with multiple specificities.

The Rhizobial effector NopT targets Nod factor receptors to regulate symbiosis in Lotus japonicus

Hanbin Bao, Yanan Wang, Haoxing Li, Qiang Wang, Yutao Lei, Ying Ye, Syed F Wadood, Hui Zhu, Christian Staehelin, Gary S. Stacey, Shutong Xu, Yangrong Cao

The paper shows that the rhizobial effector NopT interacts with Nod factor receptors NFR1 and NFR5 in Lotus japonicus to regulate symbiosis by cleaving NFR5 and being counteracted by NFR1 phosphorylation.
