The Ankyrin-Repeat Transmembrane Protein BDA1 Functions Downstream of the Receptor-Like Protein SNC2 to Regulate Plant Immunity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Plants utilize a large number of immune receptors to recognize pathogens and activate defense responses. A small number of these receptors belong to the receptor-like protein family. Previously, we showed that a gain-of-function mutation in the receptor-like protein SNC2 (for Suppressor of NPR1, Constitutive2) leads to constitutive activation of defense responses in snc2-1D mutant plants. To identify defense signaling components downstream of SNC2, we carried out a suppressor screen in the snc2-1D mutant background of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Map-based cloning of one of the suppressor genes, BDA1 (for bian da; "becoming big" in Chinese), showed that it encodes a protein with amino-terminal ankyrin repeats and carboxyl-terminal transmembrane domains. Loss-of-function mutations in BDA1 suppress the dwarf morphology and constitutive defense responses in snc2-1D npr1-1 (for nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes1,1) and also result in enhanced susceptibility to bacterial pathogens. In contrast, a gain-of-function allele of bda1 isolated from a separate genetic screen to search for mutants with enhanced pathogen resistance was found to constitutively activate cell death and defense responses. These data suggest that BDA1 is a critical signaling component that functions downstream of SNC2 to regulate plant immunity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
