SNC1 is part of the RPP5 locus, a cluster of paralogous disease resistance (R) genes that allows the plant to adapt to pathogens. 4. Summary Table: SNC1 Characteristics Description Protein Type TIR-NB-LRR (NLR) Immune Receptor Model Organism Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) Key Action Activates effector-triggered immunity Mutant Phenotype Constitutive activation (dwarfism) Interacting Partner TPR1 (Transcriptional corepressor)
When activated, it triggers a defense system, including the hypersensitive response , which restricts pathogen growth. SnC1.rar
Nuclear localization of the SNC1 protein is essential for repressing miRNA and phasiRNA loci, amplifying immune responses. SNC1 is part of the RPP5 locus, a
The snc1-1 mutant is a gain-of-function mutant, leading to constitutive (continuous) defense responses and a dwarf phenotype. Nuclear localization of the SNC1 protein is essential
It acts as a sentinel to detect pathogen-derived molecules and trigger immunity. Location: Found in Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress). 2. Key Functions and Mechanisms
SNC1 guards the plant against pathogens that contain specific effectors through indirect interaction.
