The overall conservation of the 120 ZAR1 orthologs enabled us to perform phylogenetic analyses using the full-length protein sequence and not just the NB-ARC domain as generally done with NLRs ( ZAR1 phylogenetic tree with well-supported branches that generally mirrored established phylogenetic relationships between the examined plant species (Smith and Brown, 2018; Chaw et al., 2019) . Taken together, based on the conserved motifs depicted in Figure 3A , we propose that angiosperm ZAR1 orthologs share the main functional features of Arabidopsis ZAR1: 1) effector recognition via RLCK binding, 2) remodelling of intramolecular interactions via ADP/ATP switch, 3) oligomerisation via the NBD-NBD interface and 4) α1 helix/MADA motifmediated activation of hypersensitive cell death. ./cache/cord-103448-xa5zgkd3.txt ./txt/cord-103448-xa5zgkd3.txt
