Agrobacterium VirE2 Protein Modulates Plant Gene Expression and Mediates Transformation from Its Location in the Cytoplasm

ABSTRACT: Agrobacterium effector protein VirE2 is important for plant transformation. VirE2 likely coats transferred DNA (T-DNA) in the plant cell and protects it from degradation. VirE2 localizes to the plant cytoplasm and interacts with several host proteins. Plant-expressed VirE2 can complement a virE2 mutant Agrobacterium strain to support transformation. We investigated whether VirE2 could facilitate transformation from a nuclear location by affixing to it a strong nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequence. Only cytoplasmic-, but not nuclear-localized, VirE2 could stimulate transformation. To investigate the ways VirE2 supports transformation, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis plants containing a virE2 gene under the control of an inducible promoter and performed RNA-seq and proteomic analyses before and after induction. Some differentially expressed plant genes were previously known to facilitate transformation. Knockout mutant lines of some other VirE2 differentially expressed genes showed altered transformation phenotypes. Levels of some proteins known to be important for transformation increased in response to VirE2 induction, but prior to or without induction of their corresponding mRNAs. Overexpression of some other genes whose proteins increased after VirE2 induction resulted in increased transformation susceptibility. We conclude that cytoplasmically-localized VirE2 modulates both plant RNA and protein levels to facilitate transformation.

MKK4/5-MPK3/6 cascade regulates Agrobacterium-mediated transformation by modulating plant immunity in Arabidopsis

Project description:Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a special plant pathogen causing crown gall disease. This pathogen is well known for the technology Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. As a pathogen, Agrobacterium triggers plant immunity, and this affects transformation. But the signaling components and pathways in plant immunity to Agrobacterium remain elusive. We demonstrate two Arabidopsis MAPKKs MKK4/MKK5 and their downstream MAPKs MPK3/MPK6 play a major role in both Agrobacterium-triggered immunity and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Agrobacteria induce MPK3/MPK6 activity and plant defense responsive genes expression in a very early stage. This process is dependent on MKK4/MKK5 function. Loss of function of MKK4 and MKK5 or their downstream MPK3 and MPK6 abolishes plant immunity to agrobacteria, and increases the transformation frequency, while activation of MKK4 and MKK5 enhances the plant immunity and represses the transformation. Global transcriptome indicates agrobacteria induce various plant defense pathways, including ROS production, ethylene and SA-mediated defense responses, and MKK4/MKK5 is essential for these pathways induction. Activation of MKK4 and MKK5 promotes ROS production and cell death in agrobacteria infection process. Ethylene and SA act bypass of MKK4/MKK5 signaling to regulate transformation. Based on these results, we propose MKK4/5-MPK3/6 cascade is an essential signaling pathway to regulate Agrobacterium-mediated transformation by modulating Agrobacterium-triggered plant immunity.

Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 root transcriptome response to Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58

Project description:As sessile organisms, plants require dynamic pathways in order to recognize pathogens and coordinate plant defenses by signalling. Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 is able to avoid triggering plant defenses prior to entering the cell, and therefore is only detected once infection has begun making Agrobacterium a plant pathogen to numerous plant species. Understanding plant responses to Agrobacterium will be useful in improving plant defenses and potentially may also improve plant transformation efficiency. Microarrays were utilized for detailing the global gene expression pattern in A. thaliana Col-0 roots in response to A. tumefaciens C58 for the identification of differentially expressed genes.

Gene expression profiling of rice embryogenic calli after Agrobacterium infection

Project description:Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation has been routinely used in rice for more than a decade. However, the transformation efficiency of the indica rice variety is still unsatisfactory and much lower than that of japonica cultivars. Further improvement on the transformation efficiency lies in the genetic manipulation of the plant itself, which requires a better understanding of the underlying process accounting for the susceptibility of plant cells to Agrobacterium infection as well as the identification of plant genes involved in the transformation process. In order to investigate the related genes affecting the transformation efficiency of embryogenic calli of different rice cultivars, we used Affymetrix GeneChip® Rice Genome Array to measure the global gene expression profiling just before transformation and at four different time points after transformation (1 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h) in both japonica rice cultivar Nipponbare and indica rice cultivar Zhenshan 97.

Triticum aestivum Transcriptome or Gene expression

Project description:Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation is an extremely complex and evolved process involving genetic determinants of both the bacteria and the host plant cells. However, the mechanism of the determinants remains obscure, especially in some cereal crops such as wheat, which is recalcitrant for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. In this study, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed in wheat callus cells co-cultured with Agrobacterium by using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Note: All samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession (SRS417803). This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence “Source Name” was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.

Transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis VIRE2-INTERACTING PROTEIN2 Overexpressor in Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation and abiotic stresses

Project description:VIP2 is a transcription regulator and the C-terminal NOT2 domain of VIP2 interacts with VirE2. However, AtVIP2 overexpressor lines in Arabidopsis did not show an improvement in Agrobacterium-mediated stable root transformation. To investigate the role of VIP2 in Agrobacterium-plant interaction, we carried out transcriptome profiling by comparing a homozygous Arabidopsis AtVIP2 overexpressor line with wild-type Col-0 plants following Agrobacterium infection.

The effect of expression of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens virulence protein VirE3 on gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:During Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plant cells a part of the tumour inducing plasmid, the T-DNA, is integrated into the host genome. In addition, a number of virulence proteins are translocated into the host cell. The virulence protein VirE3 binds to the Arabidopsis thaliana pBrp protein, a plant-specific general transcription factor of the TFIIB family. To study a possible role of VirE3 in transcriptional regulation, we stably expressed virE3 in A. thaliana under control of a tamoxifen-inducible promoter. By RNA sequencing we showed that upon expression of virE3 the RNA levels of 607 genes were increased more than three-fold and those of 132 genes decreased more than three-fold.
