Abstract

Both higher plants and mammals rely on nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors to detect pathogens and initiate immunity. Upon effector recognition, plant NLRs oligomerize for defense activation, the mechanism of which is poorly understood. We previously showed that disruption of the E3 ligase, Senescence-Associated E3 Ubiquitin Ligase 1 (SAUL1) leads to the activation of the NLR SOC3. Here, we report the identification of suppressor of saul1 2 (susa2) and susa3 from the saul1-1 suppressor screen. Pairwise interaction analysis suggests that both SUSA proteins interact with components of an SCFSUSA2 E3 ligase complex as well as CHS1 or TN2, truncated NLRs that pair with SOC3. susa2-2 only suppresses the autoimmunity mediated by either CHS1 or TN2, suggesting its specific involvement in SOC3-mediated immunity. In summary, our study indicates links between plant NLRs and an SCF complex that may enable ubiquitination and degradation of unknown downstream components to activate defense.
