Resumen

Los receptores inmunes de las plantas, los receptores de repetición ricos en leucina (NLR) de unión de nucleótidos, detectan los patógenos. Este estudio revela cómo el complejo EDS1-SAG101 activa el NRG1A y cómo el NRG1C inhibe esta vía de inmunidad vegetal.

Área de la Ciencia:

Inmunidad vegetal
Biología molecular
Biología estructural

Sus antecedentes:

Los receptores de repetición ricos en leucina (NLR) que se unen a los nucleótidos son reguladores clave de la inmunidad de las plantas, detectando efectores patógenos.
Los NLR sensores en Arabidopsis actúan como NADasas, produciendo segundos mensajeros que desencadenan la señalización inmune.
El complejo del gen 101 (SAG101) asociado a la senescencia de susceptibilidad a la enfermedad 1 (EDS1) reconoce estos segundos mensajeros para activar componentes posteriores.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para aclarar la base estructural de la activación de NRG1A por el complejo EDS1-SAG101.
Comprender el mecanismo por el cual NRG1C inhibe la respuesta inmune de la planta.
Para revelar la interacción molecular que rige la activación y restricción de una vía inmune central de la planta.

Principales métodos:

Microscopía criolectrónica (crio-EM) para determinar la estructura del complejo EDS1-SAG101-NRG1A.
Comparaciones estructurales para identificar cambios conformacionales en la segunda unión del mensajero.
Ensayos bioquímicos para evaluar las interacciones de unión entre EDS1-SAG101, NRG1A y NRG1C.

Principales resultados:

Cryo-EM reveló que el EDS1-SAG101 activado se une al dominio de repetición rico en leucina de NRG1A, formando un complejo estable.
La segunda unión del mensajero induce cambios conformacionales en EDS1-SAG101, que son reconocidos por NRG1A, lo que lleva a su activación alosterica.
La proteína inhibidora NRG1C compite con NRG1A para unirse al EDS1-SAG101 activado, secuestrando efectivamente el complejo.

Conclusiones:

El estudio descubre el mecanismo de activación de NRG1A a través del reconocimiento de un complejo EDS1-SAG101 modificado.
NRG1C inhibe la respuesta inmune al prevenir la activación de NRG1A a través de la unión competitiva a EDS1-SAG101.
Estos hallazgos proporcionan información crítica sobre la regulación de las vías de señalización inmunológica de las plantas.

Cell Signaling in Plants

Cell Signaling in Plants

Plant cells communicate to coordinate their cycle of growth, flowering and fruiting, and activities in roots, shoots, and leaves in response to the changing environmental conditions. Plant signaling is distinct from animal signaling. Plants primarily utilize enzyme-linked receptors, whereas the largest class of cell-surface receptors in animals are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike animals, receptor tyrosine kinases are rare in plants. Instead, plants have a diverse class of...

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins

Proteins that regulate transcription can do so either via direct contact with RNA Polymerase or through indirect interactions facilitated by adaptors, mediators, histone-modifying proteins, and nucleosome remodelers. Direct interactions to activate transcription is seen in bacteria as well as in some eukaryotic genes. In these cases, upstream activation sequences are adjacent to the promoters, and the activator proteins interact directly with the transcriptional machinery. For example, in...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Nuclear Localization Signals and Import

Nuclear Localization Signals and Import

Proteins targeted to the nucleus carry short stretches of amino acid sequences called the nuclear localization signal or NLS. Classical nuclear localization signals are of two types: monopartite and bipartite NLS. Monopartite classical NLS (cNLS) consists of a single cluster of 4-8 amino acids. Bipartite cNLS consists of two clusters of 2-3 amino acids and a 9-12 residue long proline-rich linker bridging the two clusters. Signal clusters are rich in positively charged amino acids such as...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...
