Two NLR immune receptors acquired high-affinity binding to a fungal effector through convergent evolution of their integrated domain

Two NLR immune receptors acquired high-affinity binding to a fungal effector through convergent evolution of their integrated domain

A subset of plant NLR immune receptors carry unconventional integrated domains in addition to their canonical domain architecture. One example is rice Pik-1 that comprises an integrated heavy metal-associated (HMA) domain. Here, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of Pik-1 and its NLR partner,...
