An extended β-finger motif is near-ubiquitous in kinase fusion proteins

2025-07-14

Abstract excerpt

Kinase fusion proteins (KFPs) are immune receptors that confer disease resistance in wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) and barley ( Hordeum vulgare ). We discovered that KFPs with a confirmed function share an extended β-finger motif, a Poaceae-specific feature that originated ∼98 million years ago. The genes encoding these receptors are among the most highly expressed within the plant KFP repertoire, suggesting that...
