Recognition of pathogen effector proteins by plant NLR proteins often involves decoy proteins, which mimic effector targets. In certain examples such decoys are integrated as fusions into their cognate NLR. Two new studies have analysed thousands of predicted NLRs to address how commonly plants use this 'integrated decoy' strategy.
植物 NLR 蛋白对病原体效应蛋白的识别通常涉及诱饵蛋白,这些诱饵蛋白模拟效应靶标。在某些情况下,这些诱饵被整合为融合蛋白进入其同源 NLR。两项新的研究分析了数千种预测的 NLR,以确定植物通常如何使用这种“整合诱饵”策略。
