Regulation of immune receptor homeostasis : lessons from four MUSE proteins

Plants are sessile organisms and rely on their innate immune systems to defend against pathogens. Nucleotide-binding (NB) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain-containing proteins (NLRs) serve as immune receptors in both plants and animals. It remains poorly understood how NLRs are activated and very...
