Immunity-related LRR-RLPs and growth-related LRR-RLKs

Caption

Both immunity-related LRR-RLPs and growth-related LRR-RLKs have evolved from a common ancestor to inherit the last four LRRs and the ability to bind the co-receptor BAK1. The chimeric receptor that incorporates the cytoplasmic kinase domain of a growth-related LRR-RLK into an immunity-related LRR-RLP activates both immune and growth responses upon sensing a pathogen-derived molecule. LRR, leucine-rich repeat; RLP, receptor-like protein; RLK, receptor-like kinase.
