Beschreibung:
Flagellin perception in Arabidopsis is through recognition of its highly conserved N-terminal epitope (flg22) by flagellin-sensitive 2 (FLS2). Flg22 binding induces FLS2 heteromerization with BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1-associated kinase 1 (BAK1) and their reciprocal activation followed by plant immunity. Here, we report the crystal structure of FLS2 and BAK1 ectodomains complexed with flg22 at 3.06 angstroms. A conserved and a nonconserved site from the inner surface of the FLS2 solenoid recognize the C- and N-terminal segment of flg22, respectively, without oligomerization or conformational changes in the FLS2 ectodomain. Besides directly interacting with FLS2, BAK1 acts as a co-receptor by recognizing the C terminus of the FLS2-bound flg22. Our data reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying FLS2-BAK1 complex recognition of flg22 and provide insight into the immune receptor complex activation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sun, Yadong -- Li, Lei -- Macho, Alberto P -- Han, Zhifu -- Hu, Zehan -- Zipfel, Cyril -- Zhou, Jian-Min -- Chai, Jijie -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Nov 1;342(6158):624-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1243825.
