This study shows that NbRD21 protease regulates receptor-like kinase homeostasis in Nicotiana benthamiana by affecting their post-translational processing and endocytic recycling.

The paper introduces polychrome activity profiling using fluorescent probes to distinguish Cys proteases and their isoforms in plants by exploiting differential probe affinity.

This study shows aphid effector proteins recruit plant immune regulators to processing bodies, suppressing defenses, while a plant protein counteracts this effect.

The paper identifies immunity genes that suppress transient protein expression in Nicotiana benthamiana by silencing them and observing increased GFP expression.

This study bioengineers proteases to convert Rcr3 orthologs and Pip1 into immune co-receptors that trigger Avr2/Cf-2 dependent immunity in tomato.

The paper identifies extensive proteolytic processing of plant proteins in agroinfiltrated N. benthamiana using peptographs and mass spectrometry, revealing widespread proteoform modifications.
