Abstract
Plant intracellular NLR proteins detect pathogen effectors and then form multimeric protein complexes (“resistosomes”) that activate immune responses and cell death through unknown mechanisms. In this issue of Cell, Bi et al. show that the ZAR1 resistosome exhibits cation channel activity, enabling calcium influx that activates defense mechanisms and culminates in cell death.
