Preventing Inappropriate Signals Pre- and Post-Ligand Perception by a Toggle-Switch Mechanism of ERECTA

Liangliang Chen, Michal Maes, Alicia M. Cochran, Julián Ávila-Pacheco, Paul Derbyshire, Jan Sklenář, Kelsey M. Haas, Judit Villén, Frank L.H. Menke, Keiko U. Torii

The paper identifies a toggle-switch mechanism in the ERECTA receptor that prevents inappropriate signaling by autoinhibition and rapid degradation after activation.
