In mammals, tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factors (TRAFs) are signaling adaptors that regulate diverse physiological processes, including immunity and stress responses. In Arabidopsis, MUSE13 and MUSE14 are redundant TRAF proteins serving as adaptors in the SCFCRP1 complex to facilitate the turnover of nucleotide‐binding domain and leucine‐rich repeats (NLR) immune receptors. Degradation of MUSE13 is inhibited by proteasome inhibitor, suggesting that the MUSE13 stability is controlled by the 26S proteasome. However, the E3 ligase that regulates MUSE13 level is unknown. Here we report the identification of an F‐box protein, SNIPER4 that regulates the turnover of MUSE13 and MUSE14. Protein levels of MUSE13 and MUSE14 are reduced by SNIPER4 overexpression, while higher accumulation of MUSE13 and MUSE14 is observed when dominant‐negative SNIPER4 is expressed. Furthermore, SNIPER4 associates with MUSE13 or MUSE14. Taken together, the SCFSNIPER4 complex controls the turnover of TRAF proteins for an optimum immune output. 相似文献

Abstract. Question: Underlying ecological processes have often been inferred from the analysis of spatial patterns in ecosystems. Using an individual‐based model, we evaluate whether basic assumptions of species’life‐history, drought‐susceptibility, and shade tolerance generate dynamics that replicate patterns between and within forest stands. Location: Virginia piedmont, USA. Method: Model verification examines the transition in forest composition and stand structure between mesic, intermediate and xeric sites. At each site, tree location, diameter, and status were recorded in square plots ranging from 0.25 to 1.0 ha. Model validation examines the simulated spatial pattern of individual trees at scales of 1–25 m within each forest site using a univariate Ripley's K function. Results: 7512 live and dead trees were surveyed across all sites. All sites exhibit a consistent, significant shift in pattern for live trees by size, progressing from a clumped understorey (trees ± 0.1 m in diameter) to a uniform overstorey (trees > 0.25 m). Simulation results reflect not only the general shift in pattern of trees at appropriate scales within sites, but also the general transition in species composition and stand structure between sites. Conclusions: This shift has been observed in other forest ecosystems and interpreted as a result of competition; however, this hypothesis has seldom been evaluated using simulation models. These results support the hypothesis that forest pattern in the Virginia piedmont results from competition involving species’life‐history attributes driven by soil moisture availability between sites and light availability within sites. 相似文献
