| Research Abstract |
Hsp90-mediated function of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLR protein) in plant and animal innate immunity depends on the cochaperone Sgt1 and, at least in plants, on Rar1. Both RAR1 and SGT1 domains are independently capable of interacting with the molecular chaperone Hsp90 and can coexist in complexes with Hsp90. We have determined the core structure of an Hsp90-SGT1-RAR1 ternary complex. Mutational and biochemical analyses define the architecture of the ternary complex that recruits NLR proteins by manipulating the structural elements to control the ATPase-dependent conformational cycle of the chaperone.
