Arabidopsis EDR1 Protein Kinase Regulates the Association of EDS1 and PAD4 to Inhibit Cell Death.

ABSTRACT: ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY1 (EDS1) and PHYTOALEXIN DEFICIENT4 (PAD4) are sequence-related lipase-like proteins that function as a complex to regulate defense responses in Arabidopsis by both salicylic acid-dependent and independent pathways. Here, we describe a gain-of-function mutation in PAD4 (S135F) that enhances resistance and cell death in response to infection by the powdery mildew pathogen Golovinomyces cichoracearum. The mutant PAD4 protein accumulates to wild-type levels in Arabidopsis cells, thus these phenotypes are unlikely to be due to PAD4 over accumulation. The phenotypes are similar to loss-of-function mutations in the protein kinase EDR1 (Enhanced Disease Resistance1), and previous work has shown that loss of PAD4 or EDS1 suppresses edr1-mediated phenotypes, placing these proteins downstream of EDR1. Here, we show that EDR1 directly associates with EDS1 and PAD4 and inhibits their interaction in yeast and plant cells. We propose a model whereby EDR1 negatively regulates defense responses by interfering with the heteromeric association of EDS1 and PAD4. Our data indicate that the S135F mutation likely alters an EDS1-independent function of PAD4, potentially shedding light on a yet-unknown PAD4 signaling function.

Direct interaction between the Arabidopsis disease resistance signaling proteins, EDS1 and PAD4.

Project description:The Arabidopsis EDS1 and PAD4 genes encode lipase-like proteins that function in resistance (R) gene-mediated and basal plant disease resistance. Phenotypic analysis of eds1 and pad4 null mutants shows that EDS1 and PAD4 are required for resistance conditioned by the same spectrum of R genes but fulfil distinct roles within the defence pathway. EDS1 is essential for elaboration of the plant hypersensitive response, whereas EDS1 and PAD4 are both required for accumulation of the plant defence-potentiating molecule, salicylic acid. EDS1 is necessary for pathogen-induced PAD4 mRNA accumulation, whereas mutations in PAD4 or depletion of salicylic acid only partially compromise EDS1 expression. Yeast two-hybrid analysis reveals that EDS1 can dimerize and interact with PAD4. However, EDS1 dimerization is mediated by different domains to those involved in EDS1-PAD4 association. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments show that EDS1 and PAD4 proteins interact in healthy and pathogen-challenged plant cells. We propose two functions for EDS1. The first is required early in plant defence, independently of PAD4. The second recruits PAD4 in the amplification of defences, possibly by direct EDS1-PAD4 association.

Disruption of the Arabidopsis Defense Regulator Genes SAG101, EDS1, and PAD4 Confers Enhanced Freezing Tolerance.

Project description:In Arabidopsis, three lipase-like regulators, SAG101, EDS1, and PAD4, act downstream of resistance protein-associated defense signaling. Although the roles of SAG101, EDS1, and PAD4 in biotic stress have been extensively studied, little is known about their functions in plant responses to abiotic stresses. Here, we show that SAG101, EDS1, and PAD4 are involved in the regulation of freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis. With or without cold acclimation, the sag101, eds1, and pad4 single mutants, as well as their double mutants, exhibited similarly enhanced tolerance to freezing temperatures. Upon cold exposure, the sag101, eds1, and pad4 mutants showed increased transcript levels of C-REPEAT/DRE BINDING FACTORs and their regulons compared with the wild type. Moreover, freezing-induced cell death and accumulation of hydrogen peroxide were ameliorated in sag101, eds1, and pad4 mutants. The sag101, eds1, and pad4 mutants had much lower salicylic acid (SA) and diacylglycerol (DAG) contents than the wild type, and exogenous application of SA and DAG compromised the freezing tolerance of the mutants. Furthermore, SA suppressed the cold-induced expression of DGATs and DGKs in the wild-type leaves. These findings indicate that SAG101, EDS1, and PAD4 are involved in the freezing response in Arabidopsis, at least in part, by modulating the homeostasis of SA and DAG.

Temperature-Inducible Transgenic EDS1 and PAD4 in Arabidopsis Confer an Enhanced Disease Resistance at Elevated Temperature.

Project description:Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors greatly affecting plant disease development. High temperature favors outbreaks of many plant diseases, which threaten food security and turn to be a big issue along with climate change and global warming. Here, we found that concurrent constitutive expression of the key immune regulators EDS1 and PAD4 in Arabidopsis significantly enhanced resistance to virulent bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato at elevated temperature; however, autoimmunity-related growth retardation was also observed on these plants at a normal temperature. To balance this growth-defense trade-off, we generated transgenic plants dual expressing EDS1 and PAD4 genes under the control of a thermo-sensitive promoter from the HSP70 gene, whose expression is highly induced at an elevated temperature. Unlike constitutive overexpression lines, the proHSP70-EP transgenic lines exhibited enhanced resistance to bacterial pathogens at an elevated temperature without growth defects at normal condition. Thus, this study provides a potential strategy for genetic manipulation of plants to deal with the simultaneous abiotic and biotic stresses.

Requirement for pectin methyl esterase and preference for fragmented over native pectins for wall-associated kinase-activated, EDS1/PAD4-dependent stress response in Arabidopsis.

Project description:The wall-associated kinases (WAKs) have a cytoplasmic protein kinase domain that spans the plasma membrane and binds pectin in the extracellular matrix of plants. WAKs are required for cell expansion during Arabidopsis seedling development but are also an integral part of the response to pathogens and stress that present oligogalacturonides (OGs), which subsequently bind to WAKs and activate a MPK6 (mitogen-activated protein kinase)-dependent pathway. It was unclear how WAKs distinguish native pectin polymers and OGs to activate one or the other of these two pathways. A dominant allele of WAK2 constitutively activates the stress response, and we show here that the effect is dependent upon EDS1 and PAD4, transcriptional activators involved in the pathogen response. Moreover, the WAK2 dominant allele is suppressed by a null allele of a pectin methyl esterase (PME3) whose activity normally leads to cross-linking of pectins in the cell wall. Although OGs activate a transcriptional response in wild type, the response is enhanced in a pme3/pme3 null, consistent with a competition by OG and native polymers for activation of WAKs. This provides a plausible mechanism for WAKs to distinguish an expansion from a stress pathway.

The EDS1-PAD4-ADR1 node mediates Arabidopsis pattern-triggered immunity

Project description:Plants deploy cell surface and intracellular leucine rich-repeat domain (LRR) immune receptors to detect pathogens. LRR receptor kinases (LRR-RKs) and LRR receptor proteins (LRR-RPs) recognise microbe-derived molecules to elicit pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), whereas nucleotide-binding LRR (NLR) proteins detect microbial effectors inside cells to confer effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Although PTI and ETI are initiated in different host cell compartments, they rely on the transcriptional activation of similar sets of genes, suggesting pathway convergence upstream of nuclear events. We report that PTI triggered by Arabidopsis LRR-RP (RLP23) requires signalling-competent dimers of the lipase-like proteins EDS1 and PAD4, and ADR1-family helper NLRs, which are all components of ETI. The cell surface LRR-RK SOBIR1 links RLP23 with EDS1, PAD4 and ADR1 proteins, suggesting formation of constitutive supramolecular complexes containing PTI receptors and transducers at the inner side of the plasma membrane.

Negative regulation of defence signalling pathways by the EDR1 protein kinase.

Project description:The enhanced disease resistance 1 (edr1) mutant of Arabidopsis confers enhanced resistance to bacterial and fungal pathogens. To better understand how edr1-mediated resistance occurs, we performed transcriptome analyses on wild-type and edr1 plants inoculated with the fungal pathogen Golovinomyces cichoracearum (powdery mildew). The expression of many known and putative defence-associated genes was more rapidly induced, and to higher levels, in edr1 plants relative to the wild-type. Many of the genes with elevated expression encoded WRKY transcription factors and there was enrichment for their binding sites in promoters of the genes upregulated in edr1. Confocal microscopy of transiently expressed EDR1 protein showed that a significant fraction of EDR1 was localized to the nucleus, suggesting that EDR1 could potentially interact with transcription factors in the nucleus. Analysis of gene ontology annotations revealed that genes associated with the endomembrane system, defence, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and protein kinases were induced early in the edr1 mutant, and that elevated expression of the endomembrane system, defence and ROS-related genes was maintained for at least 4 days after infection.

Synergistic activation of defense responses in Arabidopsis by simultaneous loss of the GSL5 callose synthase and the EDR1 protein kinase.

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations in the EDR1 gene of Arabidopsis confer enhanced resistance to Golovinomyces cichoracearum (powdery mildew). Disease resistance mediated by the edr1 mutation is dependent on an intact salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway, but edr1 mutant plants do not constitutively express the SA-inducible gene PR-1 and are not dwarfed. To identify other components of the EDR1 signaling network, we screened for mutations that enhanced the edr1 mutant phenotype. Here, we describe an enhancer of edr1 mutant, eed3, which forms spontaneous lesions in the absence of pathogen infection, constitutively expresses both SA- and methyl jasmonate (JA)-inducible defense genes, and is dwarfed. Positional cloning of eed3 revealed that the mutation causes a premature stop codon in GLUCAN SYNTHASE-LIKE 5 (GSL5, also known as POWDERY MILDEW RESISTANT 4), which encodes a callose synthase required for pathogen-induced callose production. Significantly, gsl5 single mutants do not constitutively express PR-1 or AtERF1 (a JA-inducible gene) and are not dwarfed. Thus, loss of both EDR1 and GSL5 function has a synergistic effect. Our data suggest that EDR1 and GSL5 negatively regulate SA and JA production or signaling by independent mechanisms and that negative regulation of defense signaling by GSL5 may be independent of callose production.

Increased resistance to biotrophic pathogens in the Arabidopsis constitutive induced resistance 1 mutant is EDS1 and PAD4-dependent and modulated by environmental temperature.

Project description:The Arabidopsis constitutive induced resistance 1 (cir1) mutant displays salicylic acid (SA)-dependent constitutive expression of defence genes and enhanced resistance to biotrophic pathogens. To further characterise the role of CIR1 in plant immunity we conducted epistasis analyses with two key components of the SA-signalling branch of the defence network, ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY1 (EDS1) and PHYTOALEXIN DEFICIENT4 (PAD4). We demonstrate that the constitutive defence phenotypes of cir1 require both EDS1 and PAD4, indicating that CIR1 lies upstream of the EDS1-PAD4 regulatory node in the immune signalling network. In light of this finding we examined EDS1 expression in cir1 and observed increased protein, but not mRNA levels in this mutant, suggesting that CIR1 might act as a negative regulator of EDS1 via a post-transcriptional mechanism. Finally, as environmental temperature is known to influence the outcome of plant-pathogen interactions, we analysed cir1 plants grown at 18, 22 or 25°C. We found that susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 is modulated by temperature in cir1. Greatest resistance to this pathogen (relative to PR-1:LUC control plants) was observed at 18°C, while at 25°C no difference in susceptibility between cir1 and control plants was apparent. The increase in resistance to Pst DC3000 at 18°C correlated with a stunted growth phenotype, suggesting that activation of defence responses may be enhanced at lower temperatures in the cir1 mutant.

Study of primary transcriptional changes induced by EDS1/PAD4 in Arabidopsis using an estradiol-inducible system

Project description:Arabidopsis Enhanced Disease Susceptibility 1 (EDS1) and its direct partner Phytoalexin Deficient 4 (PAD4) are required for both basal resistance against virulent pathogens and innate immune responses mediated by all tested TIR (Toll-Interleukin-1 Receptors) type nucleotide-binding/leucine-rich-repeat (NLR) receptors. Using transgenic Arabidopsis plants in Col-0 eds1-2 pad4-1 background conditionally expressing PAD4 and constitutively expressing EDS1 (ED-P4E1), an EDS1/PAD4 immune response can be triggered by estradiol treatment and can induce expression of defense-related genes and lead to enhanced basal resistance. In order to capture primary transcriptional changes in response to EDS1/PAD4, we performed RNA-seq gene expression analysis in ED-P4E1 plants after estradiol or mock treatment at three time points: 6, 12 and 24 h.
