NbRD21 protease controls receptor kinase homeostasis in Nicotiana benthamiana

This study shows that NbRD21 protease regulates receptor-like kinase homeostasis in Nicotiana benthamiana by affecting their post-translational processing and endocytic recycling.

Subtilase SBT5.2 inactivates flagellin immunogenicity in the plant apoplast

The paper shows that the subtilase SBT5.2 cleaves flagellin's flg22 epitope, inactivating its immunogenicity and controlling immune responses in plants.

Extracellular plant subtilases dampen cold shock peptide elicitor levels

The paper shows that the plant subtilase SBT5.2a cleaves the bacterial cold-shock protein csp22, reducing its immunogenicity and pathogen growth.

SBT5.2s are the major active extracellular subtilases processing IgG antibody 2F5 in the Nicotiana benthamiana apoplast

The paper shows that SBT5.2 subtilases degrade the IgG antibody 2F5 in Nicotiana benthamiana apoplast, and their knockout increases 2F5 accumulation without affecting plant growth.
