Finally out in @Cellcellpress!
Proteins with long IDRs are prone to misfolding during protein synthesis.
This is prevented by mRNA 3′UTRs that act as mRNA-based IDR chaperones.

Highly conserved mRNA 3′ UTRs act as co-translational chaperones for intrinsically
disordered regions (IDRs), preventing inter-domain misfolding and enabling biogenesis
of fully active proteins.

TIRs are key regulators of plant immunity, but the role of conserved TIR-only proteins has remained unclear.
Here, we compare TIR-only proteins from Arabidopsis and barley and show that they share a conserved role in plant immunity.

You saw them first on @bioRxiv.
Now they’re out in print—back-to-back.
Meet AVRcap1b: the two-faced immunosuppressor from the potato blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Wir durften @mwulsa.bsky.social Staatssekretär Wünsch bei uns begrüßen.Nach dem Auftakt durch @atissier.bsky.social ging es zur Forschung:von Massenspektrometrie bis Tomaten.
Unser Ziel: verstehen, wie Pflanzen funktionieren und daraus Ideen für die #Bioökonomie entwickeln.Danke für den Austausch!
Toll/interleukin-1/resistance (TIR) domain NADase enzymes signal in plant immunity by producing ribosylated nucleotide second messengers which activate EDS1 dimer-helper NLR pathways to restrict patho...

A plant pathogen effector suppresses an activated helper NLR via a host ENTH domain–containing protein, NbTOL9a.
So proud to see this story finally out!🎉 We added new data since our previous preprint—transgenic barley plants with an engineered immune receptor that fights off two fungal pathogens at once. Short 🧵 and link to the original preprint thread on X👇

Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...
