Subtilase SBT5.2 inactivates flagellin immunogenicity in the plant apoplast by Buscaill, P, Sanguankiattichai, N, Kaschani, F, Huang, J, Mooney, BC, Li, Y, Lyu, J, Sueldo, D, Kaiser, M, van der Hoorn, RAL

“…The prolonged lifetime of flg22 in sbt5.2 mutant plants results in increased bacterial immunity in priming assays, indicating that SBT5.2 counterbalances flagellin immunogenicity to provide spatial-temporal control and restrict costly immune responses and that bacteria take advantage of the host proteolytic machinery to avoid detection by flagellin having a protease-sensitive flg22 epitope.…”
