ABSTRACT
The nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) containing (NLR) proteins are intracellular immune receptors that sense pathogens or stress-associated signals in animals and plants. Direct or indirect binding of these stimuli to NLRs results in formation of higher-order large protein complexes termed inflammasomes in animals and resistosomes in plants to mediate immune signaling. Here we focus on plant NLRs and discuss the activation mechanism of the ZAR1 resistosome from Arabidopsis thaliana. We also outline the analogies and differences between the ZAR1 resistosome and the NLR inflammasomes, and discuss how the structural and biochemical information available on these two large types of protein complexes sheds light on signaling mechanisms of other plant NLRs.
