Structural analysis of HTL and D14 proteins reveals the basis for ligand selectivity in Striga

HTL and D14 receptors perceive the structurally similar signaling compounds karrikin and strigolactone. Here, the authors show that ShD14 and a divergent clade of ShHTLs from Strigae capable of recognizing strigolact are capable of recognizing strigolactone and provide structural insights into the e...
