Gene Description

RPM1 is an Arabidopsis coiled-coil NB-LRR/CNL immune receptor that confers resistance to Pseudomonas syringae strains delivering AvrB or AvrRpm1. RPM1 acts at the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane, where it guards the RIN4 immune hub and is activated by effector-induced RIN4 modification, especially Thr166 phosphorylation. Its core role is nucleotide-dependent immune receptor signaling that triggers effector-triggered antibacterial defense and hypersensitive response; generic protein binding and broad defense-response rows should be interpreted through this RPM1-RIN4 plasma-membrane guard mechanism.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: RPM1-associated interactions with RIN4, RIN-family proteins, CRT1, and other immune regulators are biologically meaningful, but generic protein binding obscures the receptor mechanism.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: RPM1 contains an NB-ARC module expected to bind ADP/ATP as part of NLR molecular switching.
Reason: ADP binding is mechanistically relevant, but RPM1's core gene-level role is immune receptor signaling rather than nucleotide binding alone.

Core Functions

Plasma-membrane CNL immune receptor guarding RIN4. RPM1 monitors effector-induced RIN4 modification, especially AvrB/AvrRpm1-associated RIN4 Thr166 phosphorylation, at the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane and activates effector-triggered antibacterial defense and hypersensitive response.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should RPM1 and related CNLs receive immune receptor activity annotations rather than only generic nucleotide/protein binding annotations?

Q: Should broad endomembrane-system annotations for RPM1 be replaced upstream with the cytoplasmic-face plasma membrane term?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Reconstitute RPM1 with RIN4 phosphorylation or ADP-ribosylation states in plasma-membrane fractions to quantify receptor activation and nucleotide exchange.

Experiment: Measure RPM1 ADP/ATP binding and hydrolysis states before and after RIN4 phosphomimic activation to connect NB-ARC switching with guardee modification sensing.
