Identification of BIK1-targeted phosphorylation sites on NLRs

BIK1 is a central regulator of signaling downstream of the activation of patter recognition receptors and may represent a functional link between pattern- and effector- triggered immunity in plants. Among myriad BIK1 substrates are several intracellular immune receptors. This project aims to map BIK1-targeted phosphorylation sites on two such receptors.
