Disruption of the MEKK1-MKK1/MKK2-MPK4 kinase cascade leads to activation of immunity mediated by the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat(NLR)immune receptor SUMM2,which monitors the phosphorylation status of CRCK3...Disruption of the MEKK1-MKK1/MKK2-MPK4 kinase cascade leads to activation of immunity mediated by the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat(NLR)immune receptor SUMM2,which monitors the phosphorylation status of CRCK3.Here we report that two receptor-like kinases(RLKs),MDS1,and MDS2,function redundantly to promote SUMM2-mediated immunity.Activation of SUMM2-mediated immunity is dependent on MDS1,and to a less extent on MDS2.MDS1 associates with CRCK3 in planta and can phosphorylate CRCK3 in vitro,suggesting that it may target CRCK3 to positively regulate SUMM2-mediated signaling.Our finding highlights a new defense mechanism where RLKs promote NLR-mediated immunity.展开更多
