A pair of GPI-anchored proteins regulate soybean immunity and disease resistance in coordination with GmLMM1 and GmRALFs.

ABSTRACT: Plant cell-surface-localized pattern recognition receptors and co-receptors recognize conserved microbial patterns to initiate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), which confers moderate and broad-spectrum resistance to most pathogens. For instance, the FLS2 receptor recognizes bacterial flagellin (or epitope flg22) by forming a complex with its co-receptor BAK1. Malectin-like receptor-like kinases (RLKs) interact with several GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) to recognize rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) peptides, thereby regulating multiple physiological processes. We have previously shown that the soybean malectin-like RLK protein GmLMM1 negatively regulates immunity by suppressing the GmFLS2-GmBAK1 interaction. However, there is currently no research on soybean GPI-APs, particularly with
