A conserved structural logic underlies sensor–helper NLR communication in the NRC immune receptor network

2026-05-19

Abstract excerpt

NLR immune receptor networks consist of expanded disease resistance proteins (sensor NLRs) that signal via core executors of immunity known as helper NLRs. Although some sensor NLRs are thought to activate their cognate helpers via an activation-and-release mechanism, the structural basis of sensor-helper communication remains poorly understood. Here, we identify and validate sensor-helper NLR interfaces that are...
