Plants are sessile organisms that rely entirely on innate immune system for defense against pathogenic microbes or pest. First line defense of plant is known as pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). PTI is activated by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of the host plant by pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) with the recruitment of co-receptor protein. Xa26 which is also known as PRR is one of the resistance gene in rice plant that protect against bacterial leaf blight disease, one of the most threatening disease that affect the yield of rice production. Although a few studies have been conducted on PRR Xa26, the detailed component involved in the interaction mechanism has not been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to explore protein interactions between PRR Xa26 with several PAMPs namely flg22 and RaxX21-sY. In this study, these two PAMPs were docked with PRR Xa26 in the presence of different co-receptor which are BAK1, OsSerk2 (PDB:4Q3G) and its mutant (PDB:4Q3I). PRR Xa26 protein model was constructed by homology modelling using Modeller HHpred followed by docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of PRR Xa26 with the PAMPs using Zdock and GROMACS respectively. The modelling of PRR Xa26 by Modeller HHpred produced the best result with Verify 3D of 99.68%, ERRAT of 65.854% and 90.2% amino acid in allowed region of Ramachandran plot. Docking result showed that complex interaction of PRR Xa26, PAMP RaxX21-sY with co-receptor OsSerk2 (normal) bind at the concave portion of Xa26 leucine-rich repeat (LRR) which match with the flagellin sensitive 2 (FLS2) mediated PTI, the only crystallized structure in PTI till date.
