= RRS1-RPS4 receptor pair
{c}
The <RRS1-RPS4 receptor pair> is a coupled immune-receptor system studied in <Arabidopsis thaliana>. RRS1 includes a WRKY domain resembling targets of <pathogen> activity, providing an <integrated decoy> linked to recognition and signaling by the pair.
The mechanism illustrates how a <plant> can monitor an attack on a host-like structure rather than recognizing only one isolated foreign pattern. It also explains why transferring or losing one <receptor> need not preserve the behavior of the complete <paired NLR> system.<A receptor pair with an integrated decoy converts pathogen disabling of transcription factors to immunity by Clémentine Le Roux and others>[2015, abstract and receptor-pair experiments]{ref}
