Ligand-induced monoubiquitination of BIK1 regulates plant immunity.
Xiyu Ma,Lucas Alves Neubus Claus,Michelle E. Leslie,Kai Tao,Zhiping Wu,Jun Liu,Xiao Yu,Bo Li,Jinggeng Zhou,Daniel Valentin Savatin,Junmin Peng,Brett M. Tyler,Antje Heese,Eugenia Russinova,Ping He,Libo Shan +15 more
TL;DR: This study reveals the intertwined regulation of PRR–RLCK complex activation by protein phosphorylation and ubiquitination, and shows that ligand-induced monoubiquitination contributes to the release of BIK1 family RLCKs from the PRR complex and activation ofPRR signalling.
Phytophthora Suppressor of RNA Silencing 2 Is a Conserved RxLR Effector that Promotes Infection in Soybean and Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: It is reported that the P. sojae PSR2 (PsPSR2) belongs to a conserved and widespread effector family in Phytophthora, and experiments provide strong evidence that PsR2 is a Conserved Phytophile effectorfamily that performs important virulence functions specifically during Phytphthora infection of various plant hosts.

Microbe-independent entry of oomycete RxLR effectors and fungal RxLR-like effectors into plant and animal cells is specific and reproducible
Brett M. Tyler,Shiv D. Kale,Qunqing Wang,Kai Tao,Helen R. Clark,Kelly Drews,Vincenzo Antignani,Amanda Rumore,Tristan Hayes,Jonathan M. Plett,Isabelle Fudal,Biao Gu,Qinghe Chen,Katharyn J. Affeldt,Erwin Berthier,Gregory J. Fischer,Daolong Dou,Weixing Shan,Nancy P. Keller,Francis Martin,Thierry Rouxel,Christopher B. Lawrence +21 more
TL;DR: New, more detailed data are presented that unambiguously demonstrate that the RxLR domain of Avr1b does show efficient and specific entry into soybean root cells and also into wheat leaf cells, a sign of microbe-independent entry into host and nonhost plant and animal cells.
Fast and multiplexed superresolution imaging with DNA-PAINT-ERS.
Fehmi Civitci,Julia Shangguan,Ting Zheng,Kai Tao,Matthew Rames,John Kenison,Ying Zhang,Lei Wu,Lei Wu,Carey Phelps,Sadik C. Esener,Xiaolin Nan +11 more
TL;DR: The general applicability of DNA-PAINT-ERS for fast, multiplexed superresolution imaging using previously validated oligonucleotide constructs with slight modifications is demonstrated.
Intracellular and extracellular phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate produced by Phytophthora species is important for infection.
Shan Lu,Linlin Chen,Linlin Chen,Kai Tao,Kai Tao,Nannan Sun,Nannan Sun,Yuren Wu,Yuren Wu,Xiaoxue Lu,Xiaoxue Lu,Yuanchao Wang,Yuanchao Wang,Daolong Dou,Daolong Dou +14 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that Phytophthora species produce external PtdIns(3)P to aid in infection, such as to promote entry of RxLR effectors into host cells, is supported.
