Gene Description

EDS1 is an Arabidopsis EDS1-family lipase-like immune signaling hub required for TIR-NLR-dependent effector-triggered immunity and basal resistance. It forms distinct nucleocytoplasmic complexes with PAD4 or SAG101; current mechanistic work supports a ligand-responsive pseudoenzymatic adaptor/scaffold role that connects TIR-derived nucleotide signals to ADR1- or NRG1-family helper NLR outputs, salicylic-acid-associated defense amplification, and hypersensitive-response signaling. Direct lipase or lipid metabolic activity is not established.

REMOVE
Summary: EDS1 is lipase-like by sequence/domain architecture, but no direct EDS1 lipase activity or physiological lipid substrate is established.

Core Functions

Ligand-responsive EDS1 immune signaling adaptor. EDS1 forms EDS1-PAD4 and EDS1-SAG101 immune complexes that translate TIR-NLR-derived nucleotide signals into helper-NLR-dependent salicylic-acid defense amplification, antibacterial defense, and hypersensitive-response outputs.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should GO add a more specific EDS1-family immune adaptor activity term for ligand-responsive TIR-NLR signal relay to helper NLRs?

Q: Should chloroplast localization annotations for EDS1 be reviewed to separate EDS1 from the chloroplast-localized EIJ1 regulatory context?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Reconstitute Arabidopsis EDS1-PAD4-ADR1 and EDS1-SAG101-NRG1 modules with defined TIR-derived nucleotide ligands to quantify EDS1-dependent helper-NLR recruitment and activation.

Experiment: Test purified EDS1 and EDS1-family complexes against candidate ester/lipid substrates alongside catalytic-site mutants to determine whether any physiologically relevant hydrolase activity exists.
