Essential role of rice ERF101 in the perception of TAL effectors and immune activation mediated by the CC-BED NLR Xa1.

ABSTRACT:

Key message

Rice CC-BED NLR Xa1 recognizes TAL effectors through the interaction between ERF101 and TAL effectors. The rice Xa1 gene encodes a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptor with an N-terminal coiled coil-zinc finger BED (CC-BED) domain. Xa1 recognizes the transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) in the nucleus, triggering a number of immune responses, including hypersensitive cell death. We previously discovered that the rice transcription factor ERF101 directly interacts with Xa1, and functions as a positive regulator of Xa1-dependent immunity. However, the involvement of ERF101 in Xa1-induced immunity remains unclear. We herein demonstrated that the expression of the CC-BED domain in rice protoplasts inhibited Xa1-induc
