Structural basis of pathogen recognition by an integrated HMA domain in a plant NLR immune receptor
Plants have evolved intracellular immune receptors to detect pathogen proteins known as effectors. How these immune receptors detect effectors remains poorly understood. Here we describe the structural basis for direct recognition of AVR-Pik, an effector from the rice blast pathogen, by the rice intracellular NLR immune receptor Pik. AVR-PikD binds a dimer of the Pikp-1 HMA integrated domain wi...
متن کاملStructural insights into phospholipase C-β function.
Phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes convert phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate into the second messengers diacylglycerol and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate. The production of these molecules promotes the release of intracellular calcium and activation of protein kinase C, which results in profound cellular changes. The PLCβ subfamily is of particular interest given its prominent role in cardiovascula...

متن کاملStructural insights into the role of the ACTH receptor cysteine residues on receptor function.
The ACTH receptor, also known as the melanocortin-2 receptor (MC2R), is critical for ACTH-mediated adrenal glucocorticoid release. Human MC2R (hMC2R) has 10 cysteine residues, which are located in extracellular loops (ELs), transmembrane domains (TMs), and intracellular loops (ILs). In this study, we examined the importance of these cysteine residues in receptor function and determined their in...
متن کاملFatty acids and immune function: new insights into mechanisms.
Fatty acids are known to play diverse roles in immune cells. They are important as a source of energy, as structural components of cell membranes, as signaling molecules and as precursors for the synthesis of eicosanoids and similar mediators. Recent research has suggested that the localization and organisation of fatty acids into distinct cellular pools has a direct influence on the behaviour ...
