Disruption of the MEKK1-MKK1/MKK2-MPK4 kinase cascade leads to activation of immunity mediated by the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptor SUMM2, which monitors the phosphorylation status of CRCK3. Here we report that two receptor-like kinases (RLKs), MDS1, and MDS2, function redundantly to promote SUMM2-mediated immunity. Activation of SUMM2-mediated immunity is dependent on MDS1, and to a less extent on MDS2. MDS1 associates with CRCK3 in planta and can phosphorylate CRCK3 in vitro, suggesting that it may target CRCK3 to positively regulate SUMM2-mediated signaling. Our finding highlights a new defense mechanism where RLKs promote NLR-mediated immunity.
MEKK1-MKK1/MKK2-MPK4 激酶级联的破坏导致核苷酸结合富含亮氨酸重复(NLR)免疫受体 SUMM2 介导的免疫的激活,该受体监测 CRCK3 的磷酸化状态。在这里,我们报告说,两种受体样激酶(RLK),MDS1 和 MDS2,冗余地发挥作用以促进 SUMM2 介导的免疫。SUMM2 介导的免疫的激活依赖于 MDS1,并且在较小程度上依赖于 MDS2。MDS1 在植物体内与 CRCK3 相关联,并且可以体外磷酸化 CRCK3,这表明它可能将 CRCK3 作为靶标以正向调节 SUMM2 介导的信号转导。我们的发现强调了一种新的防御机制,其中 RLK 促进 NLR 介导的免疫。
