General annotation (Comments)

Function	Disease resistance protein. Resistance proteins guard the plant against pathogens that contain an appropriate avirulence protein via an indirect interaction with this avirulence protein. That triggers a defense system including the hypersensitive response, which restricts the pathogen growth. The interaction with TIP (TCV-interacting protein) may be essential for the recognition of the avirulence proteins, and the triggering of the defense response. Ref.1
Subunit structure	Interacts with the NAC protein TIP. Ref.6
Domain	The LRR repeats probably act as specificity determinant of pathogen recognition.
Polymorphism	The strong polymorphisms present in cv. Di-17 and cv. Columbia are probably due to an unequal crossing-over between the highly related RPP8 and RPH8A genes present in cv. Landsberg erecta. Such variations probably modify the specificity of pathogen recognition.
Miscellaneous	In cv. Columbia and cv. Landsberg erecta, RPP8 specifically recognizes the Emco5 avirulence protein from Peronospora parasitica, while it is not the case in cv. Di-17, where it confers resistance to Turnip Crinkle Virus uppon recognition of the viral capsid protein.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the disease resistance NB-LRR family. RPP8/HRT subfamily. Contains 2 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. Contains 1 NB-ARC domain.
