Top, side and bottom view of the structure of the octameric WAI3 resistosome in wheat. Its unique channel structure and divergent CC domain configuration are also shown.
A new preprint involving the labs of @jonathandgjones.bsky.social and @kamounlab.bsky.social unveils the structure of the largest plant resistosome to date π±
The octameric WAI3 resistosome was found in wheat, but similar arrangements can be found in other plants πΎ
