In planta bacterial RNA-Seq with bacterial isolation.

ABSTRACT: Plant pathogens can cause serious diseases that impact global agriculture1. Understanding how the plant immune system naturally restricts pathogen infection holds a key to sustainable disease control in modern agricultural practices. However, despite extensive studies into the molecular and genetic basis of plant defense against pathogens since the 1950s2,3, one of the most fundamental questions in plant pathology remains unanswered: how resistant plants halt pathogen growth during immune activation. In the case of bacterial infections, a major bottleneck is an inability to determine the global bacterial transcriptome and metabolic responses in planta. Here, we developed an innovative pipeline that allows for in planta high-resolution bacterial transcriptome analysis with RNA-Seq, using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the foliar bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. We examined a total of 27 combinations of plant immunity and bacterial virulence mutants to gain an unprecedented insight into the bacterial transcriptomic responses during plant immunity. We were able to identify specific bacterial transcriptomic signatures that are linked to bacterial inhibition during two major forms of plant immunity: pattern-triggered immunity and effector-triggered immunity. Among them, regulation of a P. syringae sigma factor gene, involved in iron regulation and an unknown process(es), was found to play a causative role in bacterial restriction during plant immunity. This study unlocked the enigmatic mechanisms of bacterial growth inhibition during plant immunity; results have broad basic and practical implications for future study of plant diseases.

An immune-inducible trihelix transcription factor suppresses bacterial resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:The plant innate immunity consists of the two interconnected mechanisms, pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Although much is known about how plants trigger immune responses upon pathogen recognition, the genetic program by which plants avoid an overshoot in pathogen-triggered immune responses remains largely unknown. Here, we discovered a trihelix transcription factor, GT-3a, as an immune-inducible negative regulator of bacterial resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana. Analysis of public RNA-seq data revealed that GT-3a is specifically induced by ETI activation not by PTI activation. Overexpression of GT-3a suppressed resistance against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pto) and Pto-elicited expression of salicylic acid (SA)-responsive genes. Our results suggest that transcriptional induction of GT-3a circumvents the overshooting of SA-mediated defense responses during ETI.

Multidimensional gene regulatory landscape of a bacterial pathogen in plants

Project description:Understanding the gene regulation of plant pathogens is crucial for pest control and thus global food security. An integrated understanding of bacterial gene regulation in the host is dependent on multi-omic datasets, but these are largely lacking. Here, we simultaneously characterized the transcriptome and proteome of a bacterial pathogen in plants. We found a number of bacterial processes affected by plant immunity at the transcriptome and proteome levels. For instance, the salicylic acid-mediated plant immunity suppressed the accumulation of proteins comprising the tip component of bacterial type III secretion system. Interestingly, there were instances of concordant and discordant regulation of bacterial mRNAs and proteins. Gene co-expression analysis uncovered previously unknown gene regulatory modules underlying virulence. This study provides molecular insights into the multiple layers of gene regulation that contribute to bacterial growth in planta and elucidate the role of plant immunity in affecting pathogen responses.

In planta bacterial multi-omics illuminates regulatory principles underlying plant-pathogen interactions

Project description:Gene regulation of bacterial pathogens in the host is not comprehensively understood due to the difficulty in analyzing genome-wide mRNA and protein expression of bacteria during infection. Here, we jointly analyzed transcriptome and proteome of a foliar bacterial pathogen in plants. Bacterial transcriptome changes can explain to a large extent their proteome changes in resistant and susceptible plants. However, a part of bacterial type III secretion system was suppressed by plant immunity preferentially at the protein level. Also, gene co-expression analysis uncovered previously unknown gene regulatory modules underlying bacterial virulence. Collectively, integrated in planta bacterial omics provides molecular insights into multiple layers of bacterial gene regulation that contributes to virulence and roles of plant immunity in controlling it.

Escalation in the host-pathogen arms race: a host resistance response corresponds to a heightened bacterial virulence response

Project description:The zig-zag model of host-pathogen interaction describes the relative strength of defense response across a spectrum of pathogen-induced plant phenotypes. A stronger defense response results in increased resistance. Here, we investigate the strength of pathogen virulence during disease and place these findings in the context of the zig-zag model. Xanthomonas vasicola pv. holcicola (Xvh) causes sorghum bacterial leaf streak. Despite being widespread, this disease has not been described in detail at the molecular level. We divided diverse sorghum genotypes into three groups based on disease symptoms: water-soaked lesions, red lesions, and resistance. Bacterial growth assays confirmed that these three phenotypes represent a range of resistance and susceptibility. To simultaneously reveal defense and virulence responses across the spectrum of disease phenotypes, we performed dual RNA-seq on Xvh-infected sorghum. Consistent with the zig-zag model, the expression of plant defense-related genes was strongest in the resistance interaction. Surprisingly, bacterial virulence genes related to the type III secretion system (T3SS) and type III effectors (T3Es) were also most highly expressed in the resistance interaction. This expression pattern was observed at multiple time points within the sorghum-Xvh pathosystem. Further, a similar expression pattern was observed in Arabidopsis infected with Pseudomonas syringae for effector-triggered immunity via AvrRps4 but not AvrRpt2. Specific metabolites were able to repress the Xvh virulence response in vitro and in planta suggesting a possible signaling mechanism. Taken together, these findings reveal multiple permutations of the continually evolving host-pathogen arms race from the perspective of host defense and pathogen virulence responses.

The Arabidopsis E3 ubiquitin ligase PUB4 regulates BIK1 and is targeted by a bacterial type-III effector

Project description:Plant immunity is tightly controlled by a complex and dynamic regulatory network, which ensures optimal activation upon detection of potential pathogens. Accordingly, each component of this network is a potential target for manipulation by pathogens. Here, we report that RipAC, a type III-secreted effector from the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, targets the plant E3 ubiquitin ligase PUB4 to inhibit pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). PUB4 plays a positive role in PTI by regulating the homeostasis of the central immune kinase BIK1. Before PAMP perception, PUB4 promotes the degradation of non-activated BIK1, while, after PAMP perception, PUB4 contributes to the accumulation of activated BIK1. RipAC leads to BIK1 degradation, which correlates with its PTI-inhibitory activity. RipAC causes a reduction in pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-induced PUB4 accumulation and phosphorylation. Our results shed light on the role played by PUB4 in immune regulation, and illustrate an indirect targeting of the immune signalling hub BIK1 by a bacterial effector

The proteasome acts as a hub for local and systemic plant immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana and constitutes a virulence target of Pseudomonas syringae type-III effector proteins

Project description:Recent evidence suggests that the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is involved in several aspects of plant immunity and a range of plant pathogens subvert the UPS to enhance their virulence. Here we show that proteasome activity is strongly induced during basal defense in Arabidopsis. Mutant lines of the proteasome subunits RPT2a and RPN12a support increased bacterial growth of virulent Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst) and Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola ES4326. Both proteasome subunits are required for Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) responses. Analysis of bacterial growth after a secondary infection of systemic leaves revealed that the establishment of systemic-acquired resistance (SAR) is impaired in proteasome mutants, suggesting that the proteasome also plays an important role in defense priming and SAR. In addition, we show that Pst inhibits proteasome activity in a type-III secretion dependent manner. A screen for type-III effector proteins from Pst for their ability to interfere with proteasome activity revealed HopM1, HopAO1, HopA1 and HopG1 as putative proteasome inhibitors. Biochemical characterization of HopM1 by mass-spectrometry indicates that HopM1 interacts with several E3 ubiquitin ligases and proteasome subunits. This supports the hypothesis that HopM1 associates with the proteasome leading to its inhibition. Thus, the proteasome is an essential component of PTI and SAR, which is targeted by multiple bacterial effectors.

Arabidopsis CBP60g Contributes to MAMP-Induced SA Accumulation and Is Involved in Disease Resistance

Project description:Salicylic acid (SA)-induced defense responses are important factors during effector triggered immunity and microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP)-induced immunity in plants. This article presents evidence that a member of the Arabidopsis CBP60 gene family, CBP60g, contributes to MAMP-triggered SA accumulation. CBP60g is inducible by both pathogen and MAMP treatments. Pseudomonas syringae growth is enhanced in cbp60g mutants. Expression profiles of a cbp60g mutant after MAMP treatment are similar to those of sid2 and pad4, suggesting a defect in SA signaling. Accordingly, cbp60g mutants accumulate less SA when treated with the MAMP flg22 or a P. syringae hrcC strain that activates MAMP signaling. MAMP-induced production of reactive oxygen species and callose deposition are unaffected in cbp60g mutants. CBP60g is a calmodulin-binding protein with a calmodulin-binding domain located near the N-terminus. Calmodulin binding is dependent on Ca2+. Mutations in CBP60g that abolish calmodulin binding prevent complementation of the SA production and bacterial growth defects of cbp60g mutants, indicating that calmodulin binding is essential for the function of CBP60g in defense signaling. These studies show that CBP60g constitutes a calmodulin-dependent link between MAMP recognition and SA accumulation that is important for resistance to P. syringae. This experiment consists of three biological replicates. For each genotype, two leaves per plant were pooled from three pots to prepare total RNA.

Dissecting the co-transcriptome landscape of plants and microbiota

Project description:Interactions between plants and each neighboring microbial species are fundamental building blocks that collectively determine the structure and function of the plant microbiota, but the molecular basis of such interactions is poorly characterized. Here, we monocolonized Arabidopsis leaves with nine plant-associated bacteria from all major phyla of the plant microbiota and profiled co-transcriptomes of plants and bacteria. These strains elicited quantitatively different plant transcriptional responses including typical pattern-triggered immunity responses. Genes of non-pathogenic bacteria involved in general metabolism and energy production were commonly suppressed in planta in contrast to a virulent pathogen. Various nutrient acquisition pathways that are frequently encoded in the genomes of plant-associated bacteria were induced in planta in a strain-specific manner, shedding light on bacterial adaptation to the plant environment and identifying a potential driving force of niche separation. Integrative analyses of plant and bacterial transcriptomes suggested that the transcriptional reprogramming of plants is largely uncoupled from that of bacteria at an early stage of interactions. This study provides insights into how plants discriminate among bacterial strains and sets the foundation for in-depth mechanistic dissection of plant-microbiota interactions.

A highly conserved bacterial effector localizes to the host plasma membrane and downregulates the expression of the NDR/HIN1-like 13 (NHL13) gene requiried for antibacterial immunity in Arabidopsis

Project description:Many bacterial pathogens of plants and humans cause infections by delivering effector proteins into host cells. Elucidation of how pathogen effector proteins function not only is critical for understanding bacterial pathogenesis, but also provides an important tool in discovering the functions of host genes. In this study, we characterized the Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 effector AvrE, the founding member of a widely distributed, yet functionally enigmatic, bacterial effector family. We show that AvrE is localized in the plasma membrane (PM) and PM-associated vesicle-like structures in the plant cell. AvrE contains two physically interacting domains, and the N terminal portion contains a plasma membrane localization signal. Genome-wide microarray analysis indicates that AvrE, as well as a functionally-redundant effector HopM1, down-regulates the expression of the NDR1/HIN1-Like 13 gene in Arabidopsis. Mutational analysis shows that NHL13 is required for plant immunity, as the nhl13 mutant plant displayed enhanced disease susceptibility. Our results defined the site of action of one of the most important bacterial virulence proteins in plants and the anti-bacterial immunity function of the NHL13 gene. To determine whether the type III effector AvrE’s virulence function is reflected by a possibly unique host gene expression signature, we conducted a genome-wide microarray analysis of Arabidopsis during Pst DC3000 infection. Because AvrE and another effector, HopM1, in Pst DC3000 are functionally redundant, the following bacterial strains were used to discern the shared and specific contributions of AvrE and HopM1 to host gene expression: Pst DC3000 (avrE+, hopM1+), the avrE mutant (hopM1+), the hopM1 mutant (avrE+) and the avrE hopM1 double mutant.
