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.
