Cell. 108:2002;743-754 This paper presents one of the best pieces of evidence for the guard hypothesis. RIN4 is shown to interact with RPM1 (a CC-NBS-LRR protein) in planta. RPM1 is able to detect the presence of the type III effectors AvrRpm1 and AvrB. Interestingly, RIN4 interacts with, and is modified posttranscriptionally by, AvrRpm1 and AvrB in planta.

RPS2 is able to detect the presence of the type III effector AvrRpt2. Interestingly, the sequence of AvrRpt2 is not related to that of AvrRpm1 or AvrB, and AvrRpt2 induces the disappearance of RIN4.

EMBO J. 21:2003;5679-5689 The authors describe the characterization of point mutations in the ATPase domain of one of four Arabidopsis cytosolic HSP90 isoforms that specifically compromises RPM1 function. Using biochemical analyses, they also demonstrate that RAR1 and SGT1 are possibly HSP90 co-chaperones.
