Response to Comment on "A G Protein–Coupled Receptor Is a Plasma Membrane Receptor for the Plant Hormone Abscisic Acid"

Xigang Liu,¹ Yanling Yue,¹ Wei Li,¹^,2 Ligeng Ma¹^*

Our study provided experimental evidence that GCR2 is a membrane-associatedabscisic acid receptor that interacts with the G protein ${alpha}$ subunitGPA1 in Arabidopsis. Although we cannot rule out GCR2 as a lanthioninesynthetase homolog, our data indicate that it may define a newtype of nonclassical G protein–coupled receptor.
