Transcriptional responses of wild-type and abr1 mutant Arabidopsis plants to infection with Pseudomonas syringae

ABSTRACT: Pathogens secrete effector proteins into host cells in order to suppress host immunity and promote pathogen virulence, although many features at the molecular interface of host-pathogen interactions remain to be characterized. In a yeast two-hybrid assay, we found that the Pseudomonas syringae effector HopZ1a interacts with the Arabidopsis transcriptional regulator Abscisic Acid Repressor 1 (ABR1). Further analysis revealed that ABR1 interacts with multiple P. syringae effectors, suggesting that it may be targeted as a susceptibility hub. Indeed, loss-of-function abr1 mutants exhibit reduced susceptibility to a number of P. syringae strains. The ABR1 protein comprises a conserved APETALA2 (AP2) domain flanked by long regions of predicted structural disorder. We verified the DNA-binding activity of the AP2 domain and demonstrated that the disordered domains act redundantly to enhance DNA binding and to facilitate transcriptional activation by ABR1. Finally, we compared gene expression profiles from wild-type and abr1 plants following inoculation with P. syringae, which suggested that the reduced susceptibility of abr1 mutants is due to the loss of a virulence target rather than an enhanced immune response. These data highlight ABR1 as a functionally important component at the host-pathogen interface.

Transcriptional responses of wild-type and zin1 mutant Arabidopsis plants to infection with Pseudomonas syringae

Project description:Phytopathogens use secreted effector proteins to suppress host immunity and promote pathogen virulence, and there is increasing evidence that the host-pathogen interactome comprises a complex network. In an effort to identify novel interactors of the Pseudomonas syringae effector HopZ1a, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen that identified a previously uncharacterized Arabidopsis protein that we designate HopZ1a Interactor 1 (ZIN1). Additional analyses in yeast and in planta revealed that ZIN1 also interacts with several other P. syringae effectors. We show that an Arabidopsis loss-of-function zin1 mutant is less susceptible to infection by certain strains of P. syringae, while overexpression of ZIN1 results in enhanced susceptibility. Functionally, ZIN1 exhibits topoisomerase-like activity in vitro. Transcriptional profiling of wild-type and zin1 Arabidopsis plants inoculated with P. syringae indicated that ZIN1 regulates a wide range of pathogen-responsive biological processes, although the list of genes more highly expressed in zin1 versus wild-type plants was particularly enriched for ribosomal protein genes. Altogether, these data illuminate ZIN1 as a potential susceptibility hub that interacts with multiple effectors to influence the outcome of plant-microbe interactions.

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.

Decreased abundance of type III secretion systeminducing signals in Arabidopsis mkp1 enhances resistance against Pseudomonas syringae

Project description:Genes encoding the virulence-promoting type III secretion system (T3SS) in phytopathogenic bacteria are induced at the start of infection, indicating that recognition of signals from the host plant initiates this response. However, the precise nature of these signals and whether their concentrations can be altered to affect the biological outcome of host-pathogen interactions remain speculative. Here we use a metabolomic comparison of resistant and susceptible genotypes to identify plant-derived metabolites that induce T3SS genes in Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 and report that mapk phosphatase 1 (mkp1), an Arabidopsis mutant that is more resistant to bacterial infection, produces decreased levels of these bioactive compounds. Consistent with these observations, T3SS effector expression and delivery by DC3000 was impaired when infecting the mkp1 mutant. The addition of bioactive metabolites fully restored T3SS effector delivery and suppressed the enhanced resistance in the mkp1 mutant. Pretreatment of plants with pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to induce PAMP triggered immunity (PTI) also restricts T3SS effector delivery and enhances resistance by unknown mechanisms, and the addition of the bioactive metabolites similarly suppressed both aspects of PTI. Together, these results demonstrate that DC3000 perceives multiple signals derived from plants to initiate its T3SS and that the level of these host-derived signals impacts bacterial pathogenesis.

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.

Inactivation of a NB-LRR plant immune-effector complex by post-translational modification

Project description:Modification of plant immune complexes by pathogen effectors can trigger strong immune responses mediated by the action of nucleotide binding-leucine rich repeat immune receptors. Although some strains of the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae harbor effectors that individually can trigger immunity, the plant’s response may be suppressed by other virulence factors. This work shows a new strategy for immune suppression. After injection into host cells, the suppressing effector binds to and acetylates multiple members of an immune complex, including another effector that on its own can trigger immunity. Acetylations modify serine, threonine, lysine and/or histidine residues in the targets resulting in the inactivation of the whole immune complex and increased growth of the pathogen.

Comparative transcriptome profiling of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana lines expressing the Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis candidate effector HaRxL106 and knock-out mutants of HaRxL106-interacting host proteins

Project description:To prevent activation of plant innate immunity the oomycete pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis translocates effector proteins into infected cells of its host Arabidopsis thaliana. We noticed that some H. arabidopsidis effectors, when over-expressed in A. thaliana, render the plant more susceptible to infection by biotrophic pathogens (Fabro et al., 2011, PubMed PMID: 22072967). Here we performed transcriptome profiling of a representative transgenic line constitutively expressing H. arabidopsidis effector HaRxL106. We compared the transcriptomes of A. thaliana wild-type (Col-0) plants and an isogenic line expressing HaRxL106 before pathogen challenge and 24 h after infection with the compatible bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000. HaRxL106 interacts with several Arabidopsis proteins (Mukhtar et al., 2011, PubMed PMID: 21798943; Wirthmueller et al., 2015, PubMed PMID: 25284001). To test whether the HaRxL106-interacting A. thaliana proteins MODIFIER OF SNC1, 6 (MOS6), 6B-INTERACTING PROTEIN 1-LIKE 1 (ASIL1) or RADICAL-INDUCED CELL DEATH1 (RCD1) are altered in their transcriptional response to a biotrophic pathogen we performed transcriptome profiling of mos6-1, asil1-1 and rcd1-1 mutants before and 24 h after infection with P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000.

Whole-transcriptome microarray analysis of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae CRAFRU 8.43 and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 grown in apoplast-like conditions supplemented or not with kiwifruit or tomato extract

Project description:Purpose: The outcome of host–pathogen interactions is thought to reflect the offensive and defensive capabilities of both players. When plants interact with Pseudomonas syringae, several well-characterized virulence factors contribute to early bacterial pathogenicity, including the type III secretion system (T3SS), which must be activated by signals from the plant and environment to allow the secretion of virulence effectors. The manner in which these signals regulate T3SS activity is still unclear. Conlusion: the analysis revealed that the perception of plant signals from kiwifruit or tomato extracts anticipates T3SS expression in P. syringae pv. actinidiae compared to apoplast-like conditions

Repertoire and abundance of secreted virulence factors shape the pathogenic capacity of Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata is a member of the sugar beet pathobiome and the causative agent of leaf spot disease. Like many pathogenic bacteria, P. syringae relies on the secretion of toxins, which manipulate host-pathogen interactions, to establish and maintain an infection. This study analyzes the secretome of six pathogenic P. syringae pv. aptata strains with different defined virulence capacities in order to identify common and strain-specific features, and correlate the secretome with disease outcome. All strains show a high type III secretion system (T3SS) and type VI secretion system (T6SS) activity under apoplast-like conditions mimicking the infection. Surprisingly, we found that low pathogenic strains show a higher secretion of most T3SS substrates (19 of the 23 detected effectors and accessory harpin proteins), whereas a distinct subgroup of four effectors is exclusively secreted in medium and high pathogenic strains. Similarly, we detected two T6SS secretion patterns: while one set of proteins was highly secreted in all strains, another subset consisting of known T6SS substrates and previously uncharacterized proteins with a highly similar secretion pattern was exclusively secreted in medium and high virulence strains. Taken together, our data shows that P. syringae pathogenicity is correlated with the repertoire and fine-tuning of effector secretion and indicates distinct strategies for establishing virulence of P. syringae pv. aptata in plants.
