SRFR1 functions as an adapter protein that forms a complex with proteins such as the immune regulator EDS1 (Enhanced disease susceptibility 1) and the TNL-type resistance proteins RPS4, RPS6, and SNC1 (suppressor of npr1-1, constitutive 1). SRFR1 has a TPR (tetratricopeptide repeat) domain similar in nucleotide sequence to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ssn6 protein, known as a transcriptional repressor regulator.
