Sessile plants encode a large number of small peptides and cell surface-resident receptor kinases, most of which have unknown functions. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis receptor kinase MALE DISCOVERER 1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 2 (MIK2) recognizes the conserved signature motif of SERINE RICH ENDOGENOUS PEPTIDEs (SCOOPs) from plants as well as proteins present in fungal Fusarium spp. and bacterial Comamonadaceae, and elicits potent immune responses. SCOOP signature peptides trigger diverse immune and physiological responses in a MIK2-dependent manner with a sub-nanomolar sensitivity and directly bind to the extracellular leucine rich-repeat domain of MIK2 in vivo and in vitro, indicating that MIK2 is the receptor of SCOOP peptides. Perception of SCOOP peptides induces the association of MIK2 and the coreceptors SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR KINASE 3 (SERK3) and SERK4 and relays the signaling through the cytosolic receptor-like kinases BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE 1 (BIK1) and AVRPPHB SUSCEPTIBLE1 (PBS1)-LIKE 1 (PBL1). Our study identified a unique plant receptor that bears a dual recognition capability sensing the conserved peptide motif from phytocytokines and microbial proteins via a convergent signaling relay to ensure a robust immune response.
