Abstract excerpt
Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone that is critical for resistance to pathogens1-3. The NPR proteins have previously been identified as SA receptors4-10, although how they perceive SA and coordinate hormonal signalling remain unknown. Here we report the mapping of the SA-binding core of Arabidopsis thaliana NPR4 and its ligand-bound crystal structure. The SA-binding core domain of NPR4 refolded with SA adopts...
