Crystal structure of the tandem DUF26 ectodomain from the Arabidopsis thaliana cysteine-rich receptor-like protein PDLP5.
Structural highlights
FunctionPDLP5_ARATH Modulates cell-to-cell trafficking. Has a positive role in innate immunity. Required for systemic acquired resistance (SAR) which is mediated by the signaling molecules azelaic acid (AzA), glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), and salicylic acid (SA) (PubMed:27078071). Negative regulator of plasmodesmata permeability triggered by SA during immune responses, through regulation of callose deposition (PubMed:21934146, PubMed:23749844). Delays the trafficking of Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) movement protein (MP). Required for symplastic signal transport (PubMed:27078071).[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedLarge protein families are a prominent feature of plant genomes and their size variation is a key element for adaptation. However, gene and genome duplications pose difficulties for functional characterization and translational research. Here we infer the evolutionary history of the DOMAIN OF UNKNOWN FUNCTION (DUF) 26-containing proteins. The DUF26 emerged in secreted proteins. Domain duplications and rearrangements led to the appearance of CYSTEINE-RICH RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN KINASES (CRKs) and PLASMODESMATA-LOCALIZED PROTEINS (PDLPs). The DUF26 is land plant-specific but structural analyses of PDLP ectodomains revealed strong similarity to fungal lectins and thus may constitute a group of plant carbohydrate-binding proteins. CRKs expanded through tandem duplications and preferential retention of duplicates following whole genome duplications, whereas PDLPs evolved according to the dosage balance hypothesis. We propose that new gene families mainly expand through small-scale duplications, while fractionation and genetic drift after whole genome multiplications drive families towards dosage balance.
