Arabidopsis HFR1 Is a Potential Nuclear Substrate Regulated by the Xanthomonas Type III Effector XopDXcc8004

چکیده
XopDXcc8004, a type III effector of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) 8004, is considered a shorter version of the XopD, which lacks the N-terminal domain. To understand the functions of XopDXcc8004, in planta, a transgenic approach combined with inducible promoter to analyze the effects of XopDXcc8004 in Arabidopsis was done. Here, the expression of XopDXcc8004, in Arabidopsis elicited the accumulation of host defense-response genes. These molecular changes were dependent on salicylic acid and correlated with lesion-mimic phenotypes observed in XVE::XopDXcc8004 transgenic plants. Moreover, XopDXcc8004 was able to desumoylate HFR1, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor involved in photomorphogenesis, through SUMO protease activity. Interestingly, the hfr1-201 mutant increased the expression of host defense-response genes and displayed a resistance phenotype to Xcc8004. These data suggest that HFR1 is involved in plant innate immunity and is potentially regulated by XopDXcc8004.

The Xanthomonas type III effector XopD targets the Arabidopsis transcription factor MYB30 to suppress plant defense.
Plant and animal pathogens inject type III effectors (T3Es) into host cells to suppress host immunity and promote successful infection. XopD, a T3E from Xanthomonas campestris pv vesicatoria, has been proposed to promote bacterial growth by targeting plant transcription factors and/or regulators. Here, we show that XopD from the B100 strain of X. campestris pv campestris is able to target MYB30...
متن کاملType III secretion-dependent host defence elicitation and type III secretion-independent growth within leaves by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris.
In many plant-bacterial interactions, loss of the type III secretion system (T3SS) severely reduces bacterial growth, symptom causation and suppression of defences in host plants. In the present study of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), Xcc strain B305 grew better than strain B186 in Arabidopsis thaliana after hydathode inoculation, and B305 strains mutated to the loss of T3SS (Δhrc...

The phytochrome-mediated regulation of photomorphogenesis under red and far-red light conditions involves both positive and negatively acting factors. The positively acting factors (e.g., HY5/HFR1/LAF1 and others) are degraded in the dark to prevent photomorphogenesis. By contrast, the negatively acting factors (e.g., PIFs) are degraded in response to light to promote photomorphogenesis. Here w...

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, the causal agent of black rot disease, depends on its type III secretion system (TTSS) to infect cruciferous plants, including Brassica oleracea, B. napus and Arabidopsis. Previous studies on the Arabidopsis-Pseudomonas syringae model pathosystem have indicated that a major function of TTSS from virulent bacteria is to suppress host defences triggered by p...
متن کاملRepression of light signaling by Arabidopsis SPA1 involves post-translational regulation of HFR1 protein accumulation.
Arabidopsis uses two major classes of photoreceptors to mediate seedling de-etiolation. The cryptochromes (cry1 and cry2) absorb blue/ultraviolet-A light, whereas the phytochromes (phyA-phyE) predominantly regulate responses to red/far-red light. Arabidopsis COP1 represses light signaling by acting as an E3 ubiquitin ligase in the nucleus, and is responsible for targeted degradation of a number...
