Rice Chitin Receptor OsCEBiP Is Not a Transmembrane Protein but Targets the Plasma Membrane via a GPI Anchor
Dear Editor,Plants are sessile organisms that are constantly challenged by microbial pathogens from the habitat.The key for plants to survive is to perceive pathogens in a timely and precise manner and subsequently launch multiple immune responses to counteract pathogenic infection.Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs),which reside at the plasma membrane (PM) of plant cells,represent the frontline for pathogen detection by sensing the microbial signature components termed microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) (Boiler and He,2009).Plant PRRs are categorized into either receptor-like kinases (RLKs) or receptorlike proteins (RLPs).The RLK-type PRR is generally composed of an extracellular MAMP-binding domain and an intracellular kinase domain connected via a single-pass transmembrane region,while the RLP-type PRR contains an extracellular MAMPbinding domain followed by a transmembrane region or a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored tail for PM localization.
