HSP90 interacts with RAR1 and SGT1 and is essential for RPS2-mediated disease resistance in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: RAR1 and its interacting partner SGT1 play a central role in plant disease resistance triggered by a number of resistance (R) proteins. We identified cytosolic heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), a molecular chaperone, as another RAR1 interacting protein by yeast two-hybrid screening. RAR1 interacts with the N-terminal half of HSP90 that contains the ATPase domain. HSP90 also specifically interacts with SGT1 that contains a tetratricopeptide repeat motif and a domain with similarity to the cochaperone p23. In Arabidopsis, the HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin reduces the hypersensitive response and abolishes resistance triggered by the R protein RPS2 against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (avrRpt2). One of four Arabidopsis cytosolic HSP90 isoforms, AtHSP90.1 is required for full RPS2 resistance and is rapidly induced upon pathogen challenge. We propose that RAR1 and SGT1 function closely with HSP90 in chaperoning roles that are essential for disease resistance.

Project description:The molecular chaperone complex HSP90-RAR1-SGT1 (HRS) plays important roles in both biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. A previous study showed that wild peanut Arachis diogoi SGT1 (AdSGT1) could enhance disease resistance in transgenic tobacco and peanut. However, no systematic analysis of the HRS complex in Arachis has been conducted to date. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the HRS complex were performed in Arachis. Nineteen HSP90, two RAR1 and six SGT1 genes were identified from the allotetraploid peanut Arachis hypogaea, a number close to the sum of those from the two wild diploid peanut species Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaensis. According to phylogenetic and chromosomal location analyses, thirteen orthologous gene pairs from Arachis were identified, all of which except AhHSP90-A8, AhHSP90-B9, AdHSP90-9, and AiHSP90-9 were localized on the syntenic locus, and they shared similar exon-intron structures, conserved motifs and expression patterns. Phylogenetic analysis showed that HSP90 and RAR1 from dicot and monocot plants diverged into different clusters throughout their evolution. Chromosomal location analysis indicated that AdSGT1 (the orthologous gene of AhSGT1-B3 in this study) might provide resistance to leaf late spot disease dependent on the orthologous genes of AhHSP90-B10 and AhRAR1-B in the wild peanut A. diogoi. Several HRS genes exhibited tissue-specific expression patterns, which may reflect the sites where they perform functions. By exploring published RNA-seq data, we found that several HSP90 genes play major roles in both biotic and abiotic stress responses, especially salt and drought responses. Autoactivation assays showed that AhSGT1-B1 could not be used as bait for yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) library screening. AhRAR1 and AhSGT1 could strongly interact with each other and interact with AhHSP90-B8. The present study represents the first systematic analysis of HRS complex genes in Arachis and provides valuable information for functional analyses of HRS complex genes. This study also offers potential stress-resistant genes for peanut improvement.

Project description:The molecular chaperone Hsp90 orchestrates regulatory circuitry governing fungal morphogenesis, biofilm development, drug resistance, and virulence. Hsp90 functions in concert with co-chaperones to regulate stability and activation of client proteins, many of which are signal transducers. Here, we characterize the first Hsp90 co-chaperone in the leading human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans. We demonstrate that Sgt1 physically interacts with Hsp90, and that it governs C. albicans morphogenesis and drug resistance. Genetic depletion of Sgt1 phenocopies depletion of Hsp90, inducing yeast to filament morphogenesis and invasive growth. Sgt1 governs these traits by bridging two morphogenetic regulators: Hsp90 and the adenylyl cyclase of the cAMP-PKA signaling cascade, Cyr1. Sgt1 physically interacts with Cyr1, and depletion of either Sgt1 or Hsp90 activates cAMP-PKA signaling, revealing the elusive link between Hsp90 and the PKA signaling cascade. Sgt1 also mediates tolerance and resistance to the two most widely deployed classes of antifungal drugs, azoles and echinocandins. Depletion of Sgt1 abrogates basal tolerance and acquired resistance to azoles, which target the cell membrane. Depletion of Sgt1 also abrogates tolerance and resistance to echinocandins, which target the cell wall, and renders echinocandins fungicidal. Though Sgt1 and Hsp90 have a conserved impact on drug resistance, the underlying mechanisms are distinct. Depletion of Hsp90 destabilizes the client protein calcineurin, thereby blocking crucial responses to drug-induced stress; in contrast, depletion of Sgt1 does not destabilize calcineurin, but blocks calcineurin activation in response to drug-induced stress. Sgt1 influences not only morphogenesis and drug resistance, but also virulence, as genetic depletion of C. albicans Sgt1 leads to reduced kidney fungal burden in a murine model of systemic infection. Thus, our characterization of the first Hsp90 co-chaperone in a fungal pathogen establishes C. albicans Sgt1 as a global regulator of morphogenesis and drug resistance, providing a new target for treatment of life-threatening fungal infections.
