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.

Thanks to all authors for a fantastic collaboration. Special thanks to Daniel Moser for leading this work and many thanks to @ceplas.bsky.social for supporting this project.
Key findings:
🧫 conserved across diverse pseudomonads
🦠 surface-exposed and associated with outer membrane vesicles
✂️ inhibits plant PLCPs
🌱 required for efficient early root colonization
🧮 influences root-associated microbial community structure
📢 new preprint!
How do commensal bacteria establish themselves on plant roots despite plant immunity?
We identify Cpi1, a conserved membrane-anchored protease inhibitor in Pseudomonas that promotes early root colonization and modulates microbial community assembly.
