AbstractMost angiosperm plants recognise the flg22 epitope in bacterial flagellin via homologs of cell surface receptor FLS2 and mount pattern-triggered immune responses. However, flg22 is buried within the flagellin protein indicating that proteases might be required for flg22 release.

AbstractMost angiosperms recognise the flg22 epitope in bacterial flagellin via homologs of cell surface receptor FLS2 and mount pattern-triggered immune responses. However, flg22 is buried within the flagellin protein and logic and preliminary experiments have indicated that proteases might be required for flg22 release. Here, we demonstrate that the extracellular subtilase SBT5.2 processes flg22 from its precursor in the apoplast of Nicotiana benthamiana.
