Abstract: Leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-only proteins are involved in the innate immune responses as they mediate protein-ligand interactions. In the present study, three novel LRR-only proteins, CfLRRop-4, CfLRRop-5 and CfLRRop-6, were identified and characterized from Zhikong scallop… read more here.

DOI: 10.1104/pp.18.00185
Abstract: Evolutionary analyses suggest that plant R-genes originated in charophytes and plant R-proteins evolved in a modular fashion through frequent gain or loss of protein domains. During plant-pathogen interactions, plants use intracellular proteins with nucleotide-binding site… read more here.
