Plants swiftly close stomata upon detecting pathogen entry, a crucial defense termed stomatal immunity. The process is initiated by cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that perceive pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and evoke a series of early cellular responses including calcium ions (Ca 2+ ) influx, and is conducted by the intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat receptors (NLRs) ADR1s within an EDS1-PAD4-ADR1 module. However, the underlying mechanisms linking PRR signaling to the NLRs ADR1s remain unclear. Here, we show that the Nicotiana benthamiana Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-only protein Stomatal TIR1 (STIR1) produces the immune molecule pRib-AMP, induces formation of EDS1-PAD4-ADR1 complexes, and mediates stomatal immunity. The Inhibitor of Stomatal Immunity C2-domain protein 1 (ISIC1) interacts with and constrains STIR1 function at basal condition, whereas upon pathogen infection, ISIC1 senses Ca 2+ signals and de-represses STIR1 signaling. Cryo-electron microscopy structure of pathogen infection-elicited Arabidopsis AtEDS1-AtPAD4-AtADR1-L2 complex reveals the pRib-AMP binding to AtEDS1-AtPAD4 receptor and the AtADR1-L2 recognition of pRib-AMP-AtPAD4-AtEDS1 for stomatal immunity. Collectively, this study uncovers a repression/de-repression mechanism linking PRR signaling to NLRs by a Ca 2+ sensor/TIR-only node, and elucidates an NLR recognition mechanism of the pRib-AMP-EDS1-PAD4 complex in governing innate immunity.
Synopsis
At basal condition, the Ca 2+ sensor ISIC1 interacts with and inhibits the TIR-only protein STIR1; upon pathogen infection, ISIC1 perceives Ca 2+ signal and releases STIR1 to produce pRib-AMP; the EDS1-PAD4 receptor binds pRib-AMP and is recognized by the NLR ADR1-L2, thereby activating stomatal immunity.
