Our collaborative paper with Yasu Goto and Ken Shirasu is now available online at The Plant Cell! Jenn established the QIS-Seq system for high-throughput identification of interacting proteins in yeast two-hybrid assays (Lewis et al. 2012) that was used here to identify interacting proteins with a Pseudomonas syringae effector protein HopF2. HopF2 targets a receptor kinase that interacts with Pattern-Recognition Receptors to downregulate Pattern-Triggered Immunity. This work dissects the molecular mechanisms of how bacterial effectors suppress plant immunity to promote disease.
