Moscou1,2,4,5* Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide- binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathogen infection by sensing virulence effector proteins. However, how receptors evolve new recognition specificities remains poorly understood. We found that the plant NLR MLA3 (Mildew locus a 3) has evolved to recognize a pathogen effector by acting as a molecular mimic of an effector virulence target, thereby triggering an immune response. …
