Pathogen protein modularity enables elaborate mimicry of a host phosphatase

ABSTRACT: Pathogens produce diverse effector proteins to manipulate host cellular processes. However, how functional diversity is generated in an effector repertoire is poorly understood. Many effectors in the devastating plant pathogen Phytophthora contain tandem repeats of the “(L)WY” motif, which are structurally conserved but variable in sequences. Here, we discovered a functional module formed by a specific (L)WY-LWY combination in multiple Phytophthora effectors, which efficiently recruit the Serine/Threonine protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) core enzyme in plant hosts. Crystal structure of an effector-PP2A complex shows that the (L)WY-LWY module enables hijacking of the host PP2A core enzyme to form functional holoenzymes. While sharing the PP2A-interacting module at the amino terminus, these effectors possess divergent C-terminal LWY units and regulate distinct sets of phosphoproteins in the host. Our results highlight the appropriation of an essential host phosphatase through molecular mimicry by pathogens and diversification promoted by protein modularity in an effector repertoire.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptome response to overexpression of the Phytophthora sojae Avh172 effector

Project description:The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae causes root rot of soybean. During infection, the pathogen is thought to deliver dozens, if not hundreds, of effector proteins into the host to manipulate intracellular systems. Although these pathogen proteins often exhibit similar N-terminal delivery domains, the remaining effector region is rarely homologous to known protein domains, making it difficult to predict its biochemical function during infection. As a complement to studies in the natural host, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been successfully used as a model system to explore the biochemical function of individual pathogen effectors. The presumption is that many effectors target conserved eukaryotic pathways in the host and consequently the expression of effectors in yeast will confer corresponding phenotypes. Indeed, putative effector functions identified using yeast functional genomic approaches have subsequently been validated in the natural host. Over-expression of the Phytophthora sojae effector Avh172 (PsAvh172) inhibits the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, suggesting that the effector targets a biological pathway conserved with plants. In this study, the transcriptomes of yeast expressing PsAvh172 or an empty vector were compared to examine the global transcriptional response, in hopes of discerning the effectors biochemical target.

Host-interactor screens of Phytophthora infestans RXLR proteins

Project description:Pathogens modulate host cell structure and function by secreting effectors into host tissues. Effectors generally function by associating with host molecules and co-opting or perturbing their activities. This study aimed at identifying the plant proteins associated with the RXLR class of host-translocated effectors of the potato blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans in order to identify the host processes targeted by these effectors. We carried out an in planta screen by transiently expressing P. infestans RXLR effectors in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves followed by co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This generated an effector-host protein interactome matrix of 59 P. infestans RXLR effectors x 586 N. benthamiana proteins. Classification of the host interactors into putative functional categories revealed over 35 biological processes that are candidate effector-targeted pathways. We further characterized the PexRD12/31 family of RXLR-WY effectors, which associate and co-localize with components of vesicle trafficking machinery. One member of this family, PexRD31, increased the number of GFP-2xFYVE labeled vesicles in N. benthamiana cells. We also noted an accumulation of FYVE vesicles in areas of N. benthamiana leaves colonized by P. infestans indicating that this pathogen may enhance endosomal trafficking. We hope that the interactome dataset we generated will serve as a useful community resource for functional studies of P. infestans effectors.

Uptake of oomycete RXLR effectors into host cells by clathrin-mediated endocytosis

Project description:Filamentous (oomycete and fungal) plant pathogens can deliver cytoplasmic effector proteins into host cells to facilitate disease. How RXLR effectors from the potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans enter host cells is unknown. One possible route involves clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). Transient silencing of NbCHC, encoding clathrin heavy chain, or endosome marker NbAra6 in the model host Nicotiana benthamiana, attenuated P. infestans infection and reduced translocation of RXLR effector fusions from transgenic pathogen lines into host cells. In contrast, silencing PP1c isoforms, susceptibility factors that are not required for endocytosis, reduced infection but did not attenuate RXLR effector uptake. Endosome enrichment by ultracentrifugation and sucrose gradient fractionation revealed co-localisation of RXLR effector Pi04314-RFP with clathrin-coated vesicles. Immunopurification of clathrin- and NbAra6-associated vesicles during infection revealed that RXLR effectors Pi04314-RFP and AvrBlb1-RFP, but not apoplastic effector PiSCR74-RFP, were co-immunoprecipitated during infection with pathogen lines secreting these effectors. MS/MS analyses of proteins co-immunoprecipitated with NbAra6-GFP during infection revealed enrichment of host proteins associated with endocytic vesicles alongside multiple pathogen RXLR effectors, but not apoplastic effectors, including PiSCR74, which do not enter host cells. Our data show that uptake of P. infestans RXLR effectors into plant cells occurs via CME.

RNA-seq data of soybean GFP-GmSRKP1.

Project description:One fascinating aspect of plant pathogen co-evolution is that pathogens use effectors to alter a broad range of host responses. RNA splicing functions in many physiological processes including plant immunity. However, how plant pathogens manipulate host RNA splicing process remains unknown. Here we demonstrate that PsAvr3c, an avirulence effector from oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae, physically binds to and stabilizes soybean (Glycine max) serine/arginine/lysine rich proteins GmSRKPs in vivo. SRKP, novel proteins associating with spliceosome components, are plant susceptibility factors against Phytophthora. Furthermore, RNA-seq data uncovers that differential splicing over one thousand soybean mRNA transcripts, including defense related genes, are significantly changed in GmSRKP1 over-expressing lines. Representative splicing events are verified in either infection assay or soybean transient expression assay. Our results demonstrate that plant pathogen utilize effector to reprogram host RNA splicing, uncovering a new strategy evolved by pathogens to defeat host immune system

DNA methylation profiling and analysis of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of the Arabidopsis cells that received type-III effectors delivered by Xanthomonas campestris pv. Campestris (Xcc) bacterial mutants

Project description:Due to low numbers and poor accessibility of host cells that are targeted for effector delivery, the actual biological functions of most effectors remain elusive. Here, we developed a novel Isolation Nuclei TArgeted by Bacterial Effectors (INTABE) system, which facilitates selectively recovering nuclei of the cells in Arabidopsis thaliana plants that have received type-III effectors of pathogenic Xanthomonas bacteria. Using these nuclei as studying materials, we analysed changes in host gene expression and their correlation with changes in DNA methylation induced by Xanthomonas effector Outer Protein D (XopD).

RNA-seq of Phytophthora sojae WT and pskmt3

Project description:Plant pathogens secreted effector proteins to overcome host immunity system and gain access to colonization. Although more than 300 hundred of RxLR effectors were encoded by the devastating soybean pathogen Phytophthora sojae, the patterns of conditionally expressed effector genes were well programmed. However, the effector gene regulation mechanisms were not fully dissected. In this study, we identified the H3K36me3 methyltransferase PsKMT3. Phenotypic assays showed PsKMT3 was involved in regulation of growth, sporulation, zoospore production and pathogenicity. ChIP-seq analysis, together with RNA-seq analysis, showed PsKMT3 controlled a set of RxLR gene expression. The transcriptome comparison showed large-scale mis-expression of RxLR waves during mycelium, 3 hpi and 6 hpi stages between WT and pskmt3. Our result supports a new RxLR gene regulation mechanisms in which methyltransferase PsKMT3 maintains well programmed RxLR gene expression in P. sojae.
