The Arabidopsis deNADding Enzyme DXO1 Modulates the Plant Immunity Response.

ABSTRACT: DXO1, the only DXO homolog in Arabidopsis, due to its plant-specific features, exhibits strong deNADding enzymatic activity but has no apparent role in 5' QC. Despite its important contribution to plant RNA metabolism, the direct impact of DXO1 enzymatic activity on cellular processes appears surprisingly limited. Notably, most molecular and morphological changes observed so far in dxo1 mutant plants depended on the plant-specific N-terminal domain of the protein. Our investigation into the role of DXO1 in response to biotic stress, specifically its susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 infection, unexpectedly revealed the importance of DXO1 enzymatic activity in the plant immune response. We observed that dxo1-2 knockout mutant and transgenic dxo1-2 lines expressing a D
