Binding of the ligand to the receptor causes the receptor to change from an inactive conformation (R) to an active conformation (R*). Only the active R* conformation of the receptor can trigger the signal transduction pathway.

The NBS–LRR receptor remains inactive when bound to the guardee. However, when the effector interacts with the guardee, the NBS– LRR receptor becomes activated, triggering a signaling cascade that leads to the defense response.
