A comparative overview of the intracellular guardians of plants and animals: NLRs in innate immunity and beyond

Z Duxbury, C Wu, P Ding - Annual review of plant biology, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) play important roles in the
innate immune systems of both plants and animals. Recent breakthroughs in NLR …

Lessons in effector and NLR biology of plant-microbe systems

…, JL Upson, E Chanclud, CH Wu… - Molecular Plant …, 2018 - Am Phytopath Society
A diversity of plant-associated organisms secrete effectors—proteins and metabolites that
modulate plant physiology to favor host infection and colonization. However, effectors can also …

Nine things to know about elicitins

…, B Petre, E Domazakis, J Du, CH Wu… - New …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Elicitins are structurally conserved extracellular proteins in Phytophthora and Pythium oomycete
pathogen species. They were first described in the late 1980s as abundant proteins in …

NLR network mediates immunity to diverse plant pathogens

CH Wu, A Abd-El-Haliem, TO Bozkurt… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Both plants and animals rely on nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing
(NLR) proteins to respond to invading pathogens and activate immune responses. An …

Effector‐dependent activation and oligomerization of plant NRC class helper NLRs by sensor NLR immune receptors Rpi‐amr3 and Rpi‐amr1

…, L Derevnina, MP Contreras, J Kourelis, CH Wu… - The EMBO …, 2023 - embopress.org
Plant pathogens compromise crop yields. Plants have evolved robust innate immunity that
depends in part on intracellular Nucleotide‐binding, Leucine rich‐Repeat (NLR) immune …

Sensor NLR immune proteins activate oligomerization of their NRC helpers in response to plant pathogens

…, AV Cruces, J Kourelis, HK Ahn, KT Lee, CH Wu… - The EMBO …, 2023 - embopress.org
Nucleotide‐binding domain leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors are important
components of plant and metazoan innate immunity that can function as individual units or as …

An N-terminal motif in NLR immune receptors is functionally conserved across distantly related plant species

H Adachi, MP Contreras, A Harant, C Wu, L Derevnina… - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
The molecular codes underpinning the functions of plant NLR immune receptors are poorly
understood. We used in vitro Mu transposition to generate a random truncation library and …

Receptor networks underpin plant immunity

CH Wu, L Derevnina, S Kamoun - Science, 2018 - science.org
Plants are attacked by a multitude of pathogens and pests, some of which cause epidemics
that threaten food security. Yet a fundamental concept in plant pathology is that most plants …

[HTML][HTML] Plant pathogens convergently evolved to counteract redundant nodes of an NLR immune receptor network

…, SA Hogenhout, A Goverse, A Maqbool, CH Wu… - PLoS …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
In plants, nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-containing proteins can
form receptor networks to confer hypersensitive cell death and innate immunity. One class of …

Overcoming plant blindness in science, education, and society

SB Jose, CH Wu, S Kamoun - Plants, people, planet, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Societal Impact Statement Plants are amazing organisms. They make up around 80% of all
biomass on Earth, play important roles in almost all ecosystems, and support humans and …
