Encodes a plasma membrane protein with leucine-rich repeat, leucine zipper, and P loop domains that confers resistance to Pseudomonas syringae infection by interacting with the avirulence gene avrRpt2. RPS2 protein interacts directly with plasma membrane associated protein RIN4 and this interaction is disrupted by avrRpt2. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile.
