Abstract
Nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) play pivotal roles in plant immunity. The regulation of NLR stability is essential to ensure effective immunity, whereas the exact mechanism is largely unclear. The Arabidopsis CC-NBS-LRR protein L5 (At1g12290) can induce cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana, but not in Arabidopsis thaliana. We screened the interactors of L5 by yeast two-hybrid, and found that the BOI can interact with the CC domain of L5. Transiently expressed BOI reduced the protein level of L5, and suppressed the auoactivity of L5 in N. benthamiana. BOI can interact and ubiquitinate L5 in vitro, and mediate the proteasomal degradation of L5 in N. benthamiana and Arabidopsis. The Lys425 in the NBS domain of L5 is the critical unbiquitin site for the degradation. In conclusion, our results reveal a mechanism for the control of the stability of L5 protein and for the suppressed of L5-triggered cell death by a RING-type E3 ligase through the ubiquitin proteasome system.
