Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum01:34

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

18.1K
The organelle-specific signaling sequences direct proteins synthesized in the cytosol to their final destination like ER, mitochondria, peroxisomes, etc. Some of the proteins directed to ER are then trafficked via vesicles to other organelles within the cell or the extracellular environment through the Golgi complex. For example, the rough ER synthesizes soluble proteins for transportation to the lysosomes or secretion out of the cell. It can also synthesize transmembrane proteins that can...

Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.9K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response01:31

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

3.1K
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...

Protein Complex Assembly02:41

Protein Complex Assembly

17.0K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

6.8K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Protein Modifications in the RER01:26

Protein Modifications in the RER

7.3K
Modification of secretory and transmembrane proteins entering the rough ER begins in the ER lumen. These modifications aid in protein folding and stabilize the acquired tertiary structure. Protein modifications in the rough ER co-occur at different stages of protein folding.
Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal...

Area of Science:

  • Plant immunity
  • Molecular plant-microbe interactions
  • Plant cell signaling

Background:

  • Plant immune receptors, Nucleotide-binding domain and Leucine-rich Repeat (NLR) proteins, are encoded by Resistance (R) genes.
  • NLR proteins confer specific resistance to pathogen effectors and some function in pairs to form receptor complexes.
  • Understanding NLR complex formation is crucial for deciphering plant defense mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the complex formation and function of Arabidopsis thaliana NLR proteins RPS4 and RRS1.
  • To elucidate the role of RRS1 in modulating RPS4 activity and its interaction with defense regulators.
  • To determine how pathogen effectors influence NLR-mediated immunity.

Main Methods:

  • Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays to study protein-protein interactions.
  • Over-expression studies in heterologous (tobacco) and homologous (Arabidopsis) systems.
  • Subcellular localization studies using microscopy.
  • Effector-NLR interaction analyses.

Main Results:

  • RPS4 and RRS1 are both required for an authentic immune complex; RRS1 suppresses RPS4 over-expression-induced defense activation.
  • RRS1 self-associates, and RPS4 associates with RRS1 but not itself without RRS1.
  • RPS4-EDS1 nuclear localization is RRS1-dependent; AvrRps4 effector does not disrupt RPS4-EDS1 association in the presence of RRS1.
  • AvrRps4 interacts with EDS1 in the absence of RRS1, forming aggregates modulated by PAD4.

Conclusions:

  • Studying individual NLR components can lead to misleading inferences about immune complex function.
  • The RPS4-RRS1 NLR complex dynamically interacts with immune regulators EDS1/PAD4 or EDS1/SAG101 and effectors.
  • This dynamic interaction is key to converting effector recognition into defense activation in plants.
