Analysis of single, double and triple mutations of L33P, K319E and R927A in the SD and LRR domains of Sw‐5b for their ability to induce HR to WT NSm or NSmC118Y or NSmT120N mutants in N. benthamiana leaves. (a) (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/R927A, (YFP)‐Sw‐5bK319E/R927A, (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/K319E/R927A, (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P, (YFP)‐ (YFP)‐Sw‐5bK319E, (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/K319E, (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/K319E/D642E, (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/K319E/R927Q and (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/K319E/R927L were co‐expressed with and without NSm, NSmC118Y and NSmT120N, respectively, in N. benthamiana leaves via agro‐infiltration. HR phenotypes were monitored at 3–10 dpi and photographed at 7 dpi. (b) Western blotting analysis of YFP‐tagged Sw‐5b, Sw‐5bL33P/R927A, Sw‐5bK319E/R927A, Sw‐5bL33P/K319E/R927A, Sw‐5bL33P, Sw‐5bK319E, Sw‐5bL33P/K319E, (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/K319E/D642E, (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/K319E/R927Q and (YFP)‐Sw‐5bL33P/K319E/R927L co‐expressed with NSm, NSmC118Y and NSmT120N in N. benthamiana leaves using YFP‐specific and NSm‐specific antibodies. Plant leaves agro‐infiltrated with empty vector (EV) were used as a negative control. The rubisco large subunit was stained with Ponceau S to indicate sample loading. Protein size is indicated on the left.
