Citation | Journal: Sci Adv / Year: 2024Title: A disease resistance protein triggers oligomerization of its NLR helper into a hexameric resistosome to mediate innate immunity.

The resting state of NbNRC2 was recently shown to be a homodimer, but the sensor-activated state remains unclear. Using cryo-EM, we determined the structure of sensor-activated NbNRC2, which forms a hexameric inflammasome-like resistosome. Mutagenesis of the oligomerization interface abolished immune signaling, confirming the functional significance of the NbNRC2 resistosome. Comparative structural analyses between the resting state homodimer and sensor-activated homohexamer revealed substantial rearrangements, providing insights into NLR activation mechanisms. Furthermore, structural comparisons between NbNRC2 hexamer and previously reported CC-NLR pentameric assemblies revealed features allowing an additional protomer integration. Using the NbNRC2 hexamer structure, we assessed the recently released AlphaFold 3 for predicting activated CC-NLR oligomers, revealing high-confidence modeling of NbNRC2 and other CC-NLR amino-terminal α1 helices, a region proven difficult to resolve structurally. Overall, our work sheds light on NLR activation mechanisms and expands understanding of NLR structural diversity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
