Comprehensive in silico modeling of the rice plant prr xa21 and its interaction with raxx21-sy and osserk2 by Mubassir, M. H. M., Naser, M. A., Abdul Wahab, M. F., Jawad, T., Alvy, R. I., Hamdan, S.

“…Additionally, RaxX21-sY interacted much more favorably with Xa21 LRR in the presence of OsSERK2 LRR in the complex, which substantiates the necessity of the co-receptor in Xa21 mediated PTI to recognize the PAMP RaxX21-sY. However, the free energy binding calculation reveals the favorability of a heterodimer formation of PRR Xa21 and co-receptor OsSERK2 without the presence of PAMP RaxX21-sY, which validate the previous lab result.…”
