Abstract
Background: Mechanisms and significance of immune receptor R protein localization to specific compartments remain unknown. Results: Palmitoylation-deficient R protein Pit fails to induce GTPase OsRac1 activation at the plasma membrane, thereby compromising Pit-mediated disease resistance. Conclusion: Palmitoylation-dependent membrane localization of Pit contributes to Pit-mediated disease resistance through OsRac1 activation. Significance: Elucidating relationships between R protein localization and activation of downstream molecules improve our understanding of plant immunity.
