A highly conserved eukaryotic protein SGT1 binds specifically to the molecular chaperone, HSP90. In plants, SGT1 positively regulates disease resistance conferred by many Resistance (R) proteins and developmental responses to the phytohormone, auxin. We show that silencing of SGT1 in Nicotiana benthamiana causes a reduction in steady-state levels of the R protein, Rx. These data support a role of SGT1 in R protein accumulation, possibly at the level of complex assembly. In Arabidopsis, two SGT1 ...[more]
