Sr35, a coiled-coil nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptor (CC-NLR) from the wheat species Triticum monococcum can directly recognize the pathogen avirulence factor AvrSr35 and confers immunity against wheat stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici race Ug99. Assembly of a stable Sr35 resistosome induced by AvrSr35 in vitro is usually limited by protein expression and low assembly efficiency. Here, we describe the expression and purification of AvrSr35 and Sr35, in vitro assembly of Sr35 resistosome for structure determination by cryo-EM. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhao et al. (2022).
