An RLP23–SOBIR1–BAK1 complex mediates NLP-triggered immunity

TL;DR: It is shown that the leucine-rich repeat receptor protein (LRR-RP) RLP23 binds in vivo to a conserved 20-amino-acid fragment found in most NLPs, thereby mediating immune activation in Arabidopsis thaliana and inducing immunity to destructive oomycete and fungal plant pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allosteric receptor activation by the plant peptide hormone phytosulfokine

TL;DR: The crystal structures of the extracellular LRR domain of PSKR in free, PSK- and co-receptor-bound forms are reported, revealing the structural basis for PSKR recognition of PSK and allosteric activation ofPSKR by PSK, opening up new avenues for the design of PS KR-specific small molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signature motif-guided identification of receptors for peptide hormones essential for root meristem growth.

TL;DR: This study identifies RGF receptors and co-receptors that can link RGF signals with their downstream components and provides a proof of principle for structure-based matching of LRR-RKs with their peptide ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for recognition of an endogenous peptide by the plant receptor kinase PEPR1

TL;DR: A crystal structure of the extracellular LRR domain of PEPR1 (PEPR1LRR) in complex with AtPep1 is reported, providing significant insight into prediction of recognition of other peptides by their cognate LRR-RKs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of PXY-TDIF complex reveals a conserved recognition mechanism among CLE peptide-receptor pairs

TL;DR: The crystal structure of TDIF in complex with its receptor PXY, a leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase (LRR-RK), reveals that TDIF mainly adopts an “Ω”-like conformation binding to the inner surface of the LRR domain of PXY.
