Paladin, a tyrosine phosphatase-like protein, is required for XA21-mediated immunity in rice.

ABSTRACT: XA21 encodes a rice immune receptor that confers robust resistance to most strains of the Gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). XA21-mediated immunity is triggered by recognition of a small protein called RaxX-sY (required for activation of XA21-mediated immunity X, tyrosine-sulfated) secreted by Xoo. To identify components regulating XA21-mediated immunity, we generated and screened a mutant population of fast-neutron-mutagenized rice expressing Ubi:Myc-XA21 for those susceptible to Xoo. Here, we report the characterization of one of these rice mutants, named sxi2 (suppressor of XA21-mediated immunity-2). Whole-genome sequencing revealed that sxi2 carries a deletion of the PALADIN (PALD) gene encoding a protein with three putative protein tyrosine phosphatase-like domains (PTP-A, -B, and -C). Expression of PALD in the sxi2 genetic background was sufficient to complement the susceptible phenotype, which requires the catalytic cysteine of the PTP-A active site to restore resistance. PALD co-immunoprecipitated with the full-length XA21 protein, whose levels are positively regulated by the presence of the PALD transgene. Furthermore, we foundd that sxi2 retains many hallmarks of XA21-mediated immunity, similar to the wild type. These results reveal that PALD, a previously uncharacterized class of phosphatase, functions in rice innate immunity, and suggest that the conserved cysteine in the PTP-A domain of PALD is required for its immune function.

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) is a highly contagious pathogen, causing acute respiratory illnesses in human beings and animals and frequently giving rise to epidemic outbreaks. Evasion by IAV of host immunity facilitates viral replication and spread, which can be initiated through various mechanisms, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation. However, how EGFR mediates the suppression of antiviral systems remains unclear. Here, we examined host innate immune responses and their relevant signaling to EGFR upon IAV infection. IAV was found to induce the phosphorylation of EGFR and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) at an early stage of infection. Inhibition of EGFR or ERK suppressed the viral replication but increased the expression of type I and type III interferons (IFNs) and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), supporting the idea that IAV escapes from antiviral innate immunity by activating EGFR/ERK signaling. Meanwhile, IAV infection also induced the activation of Src homology region 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2). Pharmacological inhibition or small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based silencing of SHP2 enhanced the IFN-dependent antiviral activity and reduced virion production. Furthermore, knockdown of SHP2 attenuated the EGFR-mediated ERK phosphorylation triggered by viral infection or EGF stimulation. Conversely, ectopic expression of constitutively active SHP2 noticeably promoted ERK activation and viral replication, concomitant with diminished immune function. Altogether, the results indicate that SHP2 is crucial for IAV-induced activation of the EGFR/ERK pathway to suppress host antiviral responses.IMPORTANCE Viral immune evasion is the most important strategy whereby viruses evolve for their survival. This work shows that influenza A virus (IAV) suppressed the antiviral innate immunity through downregulation of IFNs and ISGs by activating EGFR/ERK signaling. Meanwhile, IAV also induced the activation of protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2, which was found to be responsible for modulating the EGFR-mediated ERK activity and subsequent antiviral effectiveness both in vitro and in vivo The results suggest that SHP2 is a key signal transducer between EGFR and ERK and plays a crucial role in suppressing host innate immunity during IAV infection. The finding enhances our understanding of influenza immune evasion and provides a new therapeutic approach to viral infection.
