In this issue of Molecular Cell, Kong et al. (2021) report that in Arabidopsis, immune elicitation promotes mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation (MARylation) of immune regulators SZP1 and SZP2 by a noncanonical ADP-ribosyltransferase, SRO2. MARylation results in stabilization of SZF1 by antagonizing its ubiquitin mediated proteasomal degradation. Consequently, these MARylation events ensure appropriate immune responses.
