Abstract

Cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases (CRKs) are a large subfamily of plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) implicated in immunity and development, yet their ligands, interaction partners, and mechanistic roles remain poorly defined. We combined population-genetic analyses and AlphaFold-based structural prediction to characterise the Arabidopsis thaliana CRK family. Phylogenetic reconstruction from 69 natural accessions resolved five well-supported CRK clades. Nucleotide diversity (π) and neutrality tests revealed heterogeneous diversity across loci, with evidence of both positive and negative selection pressure acting on different CRKs. AlphaFold models of CRK extracellular domains (ECDs) recapitulate the DUF26 structure observed in Plasmodesmata Localizing Protein (PDLP)5/PDLP8 and ginkbilobin-2 but display distinct biochemical properties and disulfide-bond topologies. Pairwise AlphaFold dimer modelling of all 780 CRK-ECD combinations produced 145 high-confidence interaction models; ∼78% of these adopt a shared dimer conformation characterized by an extended intermolecular β-sheet at the interface. Integrating evolutionary and structural approaches reveals clade-specific selective regimes and conserved structural features of CRK ECDs that likely underpin receptor–receptor interactions. Predicted high-confidence dimer interfaces suggest a general mode of CRK-ECD association that can guide targeted biochemical and genetic validation, accelerating functional dissection of this important receptor family.

Fig. 8. Interaction network of CRK–ECD AF predicted dimers. (A) The 145 AF CRK–ECD dimer predictions that passed our cutoffs were used to generate an interaction network. Each number represents a CRK–ECD, and the colored circles or nodes correspond to the phylogenetic group to which the CRK belongs. The node size corresponds to the number of interactions a CRK has. A light gray outline of the node indicates homodimerization. Lines connecting nodes indicate heterodimers. Communities of interconnected CRKs, as identified with the WalkTrap algorithm [33], are marked by a yellow background and are numbered I, II, and III. (B) Interaction networks refined using expression data of CRKs in seedlings and senescent plants from TravaDB [35]. (C) Interaction networks refined using expression data from Bjornson et al. [34] of CRKs in mock-treated seedlings or seedlings treated with 1 μM flg22 for 90 min.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
