Interaction between a plasma membrane-localized ankyrin-repeat protein ITN1 and a nuclear protein RTV1

► ITN1, a plasma membrane ankyrin protein, interacts with a nuclear DNA-binding protein RTV1. ► The nuclear transport of RTV1 is partially inhibited by interaction with ITN1. ► RTV1 can promote the nuclear localization of ITN1. ► Both overexpression of RTV1 and the lack of ITN1 increase salicylic acids sensitivity in plants.
