RIN4 is an important immunomodulator in Arabidopsis, which is targeted by multiple pathogenic effectors, and consequently guarded by different immune receptors. Although RIN4 plays a significant role in plant immunity, its molecular function is not fully understood. We found that RIN4 interacts with the exocyst subunit EXO70E2. Transiently expressed RIN4 can recruits EXO70E2 vesicles to the plasma membrane, and promote the transport of the vesicles to the extracellular matrix. RIN4 also can decrease the protein level of EXO70E2. Base on the fact that EXO70 proteins positively mediates plant immunity, the function of RIN4 is to promote the extracellular export of defense related vesicles. Pathogens will secret effectors to modify or cleavage it to interfere this exocytosis.
