EXTRA LARGE G-PROTEIN2 mediates cell death and hyperimmunity in the <i>chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1-4</i> mutant
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Heterotrimeric G-proteins are signal transduction complexes that comprised three subunits, Gα, Gβ, and Gγ, and are involved in many aspects of plant life. The noncanonical Gα subunit EXTRA LARGE G-PROTEIN2 (XLG2) mediates pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and immunity downstream of pattern recognition receptors. A mutant of the chitin receptor component CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE1 (CERK1), cerk1-4, maintains normal chitin signaling capacity but shows excessive cell death upon infection with powdery mildew fungi. We identified XLG2 mutants as suppressors of the cerk1-4 phenotype. Mutations in XLG2 complex partners ARABIDOPSIS Gβ1 (AGB1) and Gγ1 (AGG1) have a partial cerk1-4 suppressor effect. Contrary to its role in PAMP-induced immunity, XLG2-mediated control of ROS production by RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOGUE D (RBOHD) is not critical for cerk1-4-associated cell death and hyperimmunity. The cerk1-4 phenotype is also independent of the co-receptor/adapter kinases BRI1-ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (BAK1) and SUPPRESSOR OF BIR1 1 (SOBIR1), but requires the E3 ubiquitin ligase PLANT U-BOX 2 (PUB2). XLG2 localizes to both the cell periphery and nucleus, and the cerk1-4 cell death phenotype is mediated by the cell periphery pool of XLG2. Integrity of the XLG2 N-terminal domain, but not its phosphorylation, is essential for correct XLG2 localization and formation of the cerk1-4 phenotype. Our results support a model in which XLG2 acts downstream of an unknown cell surface receptor that activates an NADPH oxidase-independent cell death pathway in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

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.
