     Evaluation Summary:

     Convergent evolution is often observed in nature, but the molecular mechanisms allowing similar functions to independently emerge are rarely understood. This work determines how the high-affinity recognition of a pathogenic effector produced by the rice blast fungus, Avr-PikD, evolved in the immune receptor Pik-1. The integration of molecular evolution analyses with structure-function biochemical testing is novel to the field and the data quality is exceptional. In addition to advancing knowledge of host-microbe co-evolution, this work is exemplary in its transparency and the breadth of approaches utilized to understand protein evolution, and we expect that this study will provide a conceptual framework for similar studies in the future.
