Where this goes next: biochemical and biophysical assays to test what these ectodomains bind, plus better profiling of algal wall composition. And look for the standalone equivalents of the composite ectodomains in plants. Predictions are useful, but binding and function decide the story. 🧪

Left: aquatic scene with diverse Chlorophyta forms and a label “34 Chlorophyta species analysed”. Centre: computer screen labelled “Sequence AND Structure” (sequence text and a protein structure under a magnifying glass), with “736 putative RLKs identified” and “5× increase over previous counts”. Right: “CWI sensing molecular toolkit” showing algae with “composite ectodomains” built from modules labelled Lectin, LRR, and LysM, and a question about whether these ectodomain modules interact in plants, illustrated with Arabidopsis thaliana and separate module blocks marked with question marks.

The time-calibrated phylogeny panel puts RLKs on an evolutionary timeline and shows their relative abundance across green lineages. It helps frame which receptor features may be old, and which may be lineage-specific. ⏳🌱

Figure 4 from Marcianò, Dauphin et al., 2026. Time-calibrated phylogeny and relative abundance of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) across representative green lineages. The tree shows estimated divergence times in million years, aligned with major geological eons, eras, and periods. For each species, the bar on the right indicates the proportion of RLKs among all kinase-domain–containing proteins. Divergence times are based on published molecular clock estimates; taxa lacking reliable calibration data were excluded.

Plant Cell Wall Dynamics Lab @cellwalldynamics.com · 02/01/2026

Here we can see an example of a “bipartite” ectodomain that combines an LRR-like region with lectin-like features, which could couple peptide and glycan perception in a single receptor.

Figure 3B from Marcianò, Dauphin et al., 2026. The bipartite organization of putative RLK A0A9D4TVN9 (blue) with corresponding region overlapping to the Arabidopsis thaliana LRR-receptor BRI1 (red; PDB entry: 4m7e) and the fucose-binding lectin from Morone saxatilis (yellow; PDB entry: 3cqo). The graphical views below protein structures display annotated domains along the protein sequence, combining domain predictions from pLM-BLAST with structural matches identified via Foldseek; Residue ranges for each domain are indicated in brackets.

Chlorella vulgaris became our case study: 36 RLKs, with 13 containing LRRs, and Foldseek predicts 12 ectodomains with folds close to Arabidopsis LRR-RLKs.

Plant Cell Wall Dynamics Lab @cellwalldynamics.com · 02/01/2026

Another pattern shows up clearly in the domain-architecture views: many algal RLKs are modular. Single proteins often combine motifs from different functional groups, which makes signal integration at the surface plausible. These are however not common in land plants!

Plant Cell Wall Dynamics Lab @cellwalldynamics.com · 02/01/2026

The top functional groups were carbohydrate-active enzymes (32.6%) and cell wall anchoring/adhesion (22.1%), followed by signalling-related modules, proteases, interaction domains, and carbohydrate-binding domains. This diversity hints at many ways to “read” the wall. 🧱🔬

Figure 2 from Marcianò, Dauphin et al., 2026. A comparative analysis reveals 7 distinct functional groups in newly-identified RLK's ectodomains. (A) Predictions obtained through Foldseek and pLM-BLAST analyses on RLK's ectodomain from Nine Chlorophyta species were sorted into 7 functional groups according to their biological role or function. Pie charts show the percentage of annotated regions corresponding to a given entry both grouped together and mapped for each species (B) Annotated regions having Carbohydrate active enzyme moieties that contained glycosyl hydrolases (GH), transferases (GT) or lyases. (C) Annotated regions having Carbohydrate binding domain moieties (including different lectin families and pectinesterase-related binding domains). The overall distribution shows distinct CBD features in a species dependent manner (Adair et al. 1987; Spain and Funk 2022; Poulhazan et al. 2024).

After building the catalogue, we asked what the “sensor” parts look like. In nine focal species, we annotated extracellular motifs for 94% of predicted RLKs, giving a structured way to compare what algae may detect at the cell surface. 🧩

We screened available UniProt proteomes covering 34 Chlorophyta species and identified 736 sequences that fit RLK criteria. Earlier work reported 137, so this is a large jump in coverage! 📈

We first defined the basic receptor layout: an extracellular part outside the cell, a membrane segment, and an intracellular kinase. We built a #Bioinformatics pipeline that searches for that full logic taking into consideration both sequence and structure 💻🧬

Figure 1A from Marcianò, Dauphin et al., 2026. Using available proteomes from Chlorophyta species, protein sequences containing the kinase-like domain were extracted and subsequently filtered through DeepTMHMM (Halgren et al. 2022). Sequences with predicted signal peptide and at least one transmembrane domain were subjected to 3D structure prediction using AlphaFold3, and the predicted extracellular region (i.e., ectodomain) was selected for further analyses. The identification of functional domains present in the ectodomains was performed through Foldseek and pLM-BLAST tools to gain overall insight on protein function.

Plant Cell Wall Dynamics Lab @cellwalldynamics.com · 02/01/2026

If “integrity” can mean both "damage" and “no damage”, what is the cue a cell can detect? Wall fragments, shifts in wall chemistry, but also forces at the wall–membrane interface. We wanted to treat this as more than a sequence-homology problem, because shape and physics can matter. ⚙️🧠

Klaudia and Julie after receiving their awards.

Klaudia with her poster. Klaudia’s poster, “Stress-Proofing Plants: The Role of ZAT11 & ZAT18 in Cell Wall Defense”, told the story of two transcription factors, ZAT11 and ZAT18, as central players in the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway. Her work revealed that these transcription factors do not act in isolation: they regulate each other’s expression and influence the activity of the CWI receptor THESEUS1, a key node in translating wall damage into cellular responses. By combining RNA-seq data, mutant analysis, and stress assays, she showed how ZAT11 and ZAT18 respond differently to stresses such as salt and cellulose inhibition, offering new insight into how plants fine-tune their defences while maintaining growth.
