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…·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.
