Danger-associated peptide signaling in Arabidopsis requires clathrin.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
September 2016
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how endogenous elicitor peptides (AtPeps) in Arabidopsis thaliana activate immune responses by binding to specific receptors (PEPR1 and PEPR2) on the plant cell membrane after damage.
- Using live-cell imaging, it was found that AtPep1 interacts with these receptors and gets internalized, but this process doesn't rely on traditional endosomal pathways.
- The research highlights the importance of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in the internalization of AtPep1 and its receptors, which is crucial for triggering defensive responses in plants.
