HECT-type ligases facilitate autoubiquitination and degradation of other ubiquitin ligases to activate plant immunity

Zhishuo Wang, Robert L Mason, Heather Grey, Christos Spanos, Beatriz Orosa‐Puente, Steven H. Spoel

This study shows that HECT-type ligases UPL3/4 promote the degradation of other E3 ligases like PUB22, thereby regulating immune-related substrate stability and plant immunity.

Ubiquitin recognition integrates plant immune signaling by cell-surface and intracellular receptors

Zhishuo Wang, Tanya Mathur, Joanna Strachan, Heather Grey, Chinmayi Pednekar, Alex von Kriegsheim, Christos Spanos, Beatriz Orosa‐Puente, Steven H. Spoel

This study identifies ubiquitin recognition as the mechanism enabling mutual potentiation between cell-surface and intracellular receptors in plant immunity.
