ABSTRACT
Plants have evolved diverse peptide hormones and cognate receptors to orchestrate plant growth and development. Secreted peptide ligands are mainly sensed by membrane receptor kinases that mediate cell-cell communication. The secreted peptides are categorized into two groups small linear post-translationally modified peptides and cysteine-rich peptides. The small linear peptides are recognized by the corresponding receptors and co-receptors in a conserved manner. By contrast, the cysteine-rich peptides are perceived by various types of receptor proteins using diverse binding modes. Recent studies have revealed the molecular and mechanistic origins of peptide recognition and receptor activation. This review summarizes plant-peptide binding modes and receptor-activation mechanisms that have been structurally characterized in recent studies.
