Increased protein solubility contributes to heat priming of the plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea

ABSTRACT: Botrytis cinerea causes grey mold disease in leading crop plants. The disease develops only at cool temperatures, but the fungus remains viable in warm climates and can survive periods of extreme heat. We discovered a strong heat priming effect in which the exposure of B. cinerea to moderately high temperatures greatly improves its ability to cope with subsequent, potentially lethal temperature conditions. We showed that priming promotes protein solubility during heat stress and discovered a group of priming-induced serine-type peptidases. Several lines of evidence, including transcriptomics, proteomics, pharmacology and mutagenesis data, link these peptidases to the B. cinerea priming response, highlighting their important roles in regulating priming-mediated heat adaptation.

Several lines of evidence, including transcriptomics, proteomics, pharmacology and mutagenesis data, link these peptidases to the B. cinerea priming response, highlighting their important roles in regulating priming-mediated heat adaptation. By imposing a series of sub-lethal temperature pulses that subverted the priming effect, we managed to eliminate the fungus and prevent disease development, demonstrating the potential for developing temperature-based plant protection methods by targeting the fungal heat priming response.

Chitosan primes plant defence mechanisms against Botrytis cinerea including Avr9/Cf-9 rapidly-elicited genes

Project description:Current protection strategies against the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea rely on a combination of conventional fungicides and host genetic resistance. Defence elicitors can stimulate plant defence mechanisms through a phenomenon known as priming. Priming results on a faster and/or stronger expression of resistance upon pathogen attack. This work aims to study priming of a commercial formulation of the elicitor Chitosan. Treatments with Chitosan result in induced resistance in solanaceous and brassicaceous plants. Large-scale transcriptomic analysis in this study revealed that Chitosan primes gene expression at early time-points after infection. Four conditions were analysed using microarrays: (i) water-treated and non-infected plants (Water + Mock); (ii) Chitosan-treated and non-infected plants (Chitosan + Mock); (iii) water-treated and B. cinerea-infected plants (Water + B. cinerea); (iv) Chitosan-treated and B. cinerea-infected plants (Chitosan + B. cinerea). Inoculations were performed four days after treatment with Chitosan, and leaf discs from four independent plants (biological replicates) per treatment were sampled at 6 h, 9 h and 12 h post-inoculation (hpi) with water mock or B. cinerea spores.

Quantitative proteomic analysis to capture the role of heat-accumulated proteins in moss plant acquired thermotolerance

Project description:At dawn of a scorching summer day, land plants must anticipate upcoming extreme midday temperatures by timely establishing molecular defenses that can maintain heat-labile membranes and proteins in a functional state. A gradual morning pre-exposure to increasing sub-damaging temperatures induces the accumulation of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) that are central to the onset of plant acquired thermotolerance (AT). In an attempt to gain knowledge on the mechanisms of AT in the model land plant Physcomitrium patens, we used label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics to quantify the accumulated and depleted proteins before and following a mild heat-priming treatment.

Impact of an antifungal insect defensin on the proteome of the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea

Project description:ETD151, an analogue of the antifungal insect defensin heliomicin, is an antifungal peptide active against yeasts and filamentous fungi. In order to decipher the mechanisms underlying its molecular action on the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea, a necrotrophic pathogen responsible for gray mold disease, we investigated the changes in three-day old mycelia upon treatment with different concentrations of ETD151. Optical and fluorescent microscopies were used prior to establishing the peptide/protein profiles through two mass spectrometry approaches: MALDI profiling, to generate molecular mass fingerprints as peptide signatures, and a gel-free bottom-up proteomics approach. Our results show that a concentration of ETD151 above the half-maximal inhibitory concentration can alter the integrity of the mycelial structure of B. cinerea. Furthermore, reproducible modifications of the peptide/protein composition were demonstrated in the presence of ETD151 within a 1.5-16 kDa mass range. After the robustness of LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis on B. cinerea mycelial extracts was confirmed, our analyses highlighted 340 significantly modulated proteins upon treatment with ETD151 within a 4.8- 466 kDa mass range. Finally, data mapping on KEGG pathways revealed the molecular impact of ETD151 on at least six pathways. In particular, for the effect on oxidative phosphorylation, we clearly demonstrated that ETD151 does not interact directly with the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

HSF1 mediated Gene regulation in T cells at normal (37C) and febrile (40C) temperatures

Project description:HSF1 is a major transcriptional regulator of heat shock responses. Many cells activate HSF1 in response to heat shock temperatures (>42oC) and other cellular stress causing agents. Unlike other cell types, T cells activate HSF1 in response to T cell activation or when exposed to febrile (40oC) temperatures, suggesting a role for HSF1 beyond the heat-shock response. We used microarray analysis and HSF1 knock-out mice to study the HSF1 mediated gene regulation in activated T cells under normal and fever temperatures.

Priming resistance of tomato to Botrytis cinerea infection by root drench treatment with beta-aminobutyric acid.

Project description:Induced resistance responses of plants to biotic stress can be enhanced by prior treatment by chemical priming agents such as beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA). Defence-related genes are typically not expressed following priming, but show faster and/or stronger induced expression following infection. Here we test the transcriptome responses of control and BABA-primed plants to infection with the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea.

HsfA2 controls the activity of developmentally and stress-regulated heat stress protection mechanisms in tomato male reproductive tissues

Project description:Male reproductive tissues are more sensitive to heat stress compared to vegetative tissues, however the basis of this phenomenon is poorly understood. Heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs) regulate the transcriptional changes required for protection and recovery from heat stress. HsfA2 has been characterized as co-activator of HsfA1a in tomato and is considered as one of the major Hsfs accumulating in response to elevated temperatures. The role of HsfA2 in heat stress response of different tissues was examined by exploring the composition and structure of the tissue-specific regulatory networks in transgenic tomato plants with suppressed HsfA2 expression (A2AS). Transcriptome analysis revealed that HsfA2 acts in condition- and tissue-specific manner and that only a subset of heat stress induced genes require HsfA2 for higher expression. Remarkably, although HsfA2 is not essential for thermotolerance in seedlings and flowering plants, it is required for maintenance pollen viability under stress conditions. We show that the activation of Hsf networks is important for the developmentally regulated priming of heat stress response occurring at early stages of anther and pollen development. Thereby, HsfA2 is involved in pollen thermotolerance by directly regulating heat stress responsive genes but also by stimulating the synthesis of molecular chaperones under non-stress conditions. 8 samples

Heat Hardening

Project description:A common measure of heat resistance in Drosophila is the time it takes a fly to be knocked down by higher temperatures measured in a long knockdown tube or in small glass vials. This heat knockdown process involves gradual paralysis and non-responsiveness to stimuli, usually within half hour duration of constant heat exposure, and is ostensibly reversible upon return to lower temperatures, although there may be long-term fitness effects. Hardening for increased heat resistance requires exposure periods of up to 3 hours at temperatures ranging from 34C to 38C. The experiment was aimed at understanding the heat hardening process and samples were taken during the hardening period (15 minutes, 45 minutes, 1½ hours, 2¼ hours and 3 hours).
