Ustilago maydis PR-1-like protein has evolved two distinct domains for dual virulence activities

ABSTRACT: Diversification of effector function, driven by a co-evolutionary arms race, enables pathogens to establish compatible interactions with their hosts. Structurally conserved plant pathogenesis-related PR-1 and PR-1-like (PR-1L) proteins are involved in plant defense and fungal virulence, respectively. It is unclear how fungal PR-1L counteracts plant defense. Here, we show that Ustilago maydis UmPR-1La and yeast ScPRY1 with conserved phenolic detoxification functions are Ser/Thr-rich region-mediated cell-surface localization proteins. However, UmPR-1La has gained additional specialized activity in eliciting hyphal-like formation, suggesting that U. maydis deploys UmPR-1La to sense phenolics and direct their growth in plants. U. maydis also hijacks plant cathepsin B-like 3 (CatB3) to release functional CAPE-like peptides after cleaving a conserved CNYD motif of UmPR-1La to subvert plant immunity for promoting fungal virulence. Surprisingly, CatB3 avoids cleavage of plant PR-1s, despite the presence of the same conserved CNYD motif. Our work highlights that UmPR-1La has acquired additional dual roles to suppress plant defense and sustain the infection process of fungal pathogens.

A Fungal Effector Suppresses the Nuclear Export of AGO1-miRNA Complex to Promote Infection in Plants

Project description:Communication between interacting organisms via bioactive molecules is widespread in nature and plays key roles in diverse biological processes. Small RNAs (sRNAs) can travel between host plants and filamentous pathogens to trigger trans-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi) in recipient cells and modulate plant defense and pathogen virulence. However, how trans-kingdom RNAi is regulated has rarely been reported. Here, we show that the secretory protein VdSSR1 (secretory silencing repressor 1) from Verticillium dahliae, a soil-borne phytopathogenic fungus that causes wilt diseases in a wide range of plant hosts, is required for fungal virulence in plants through the suppression of trans-kingdom RNAi.

RNA-seq based transcriptome analysis of plant pathogens under salt stress condition

Project description:Plant pathogens require lethal virulence factors, susceptible hosts, and optimal environmental conditions for disease establishment. High soil salinity, exacerbated by climate change, significantly impacts agro-biological ecosystems. However, the overall interactions between plant pathogens and salt stress are not fully characterized or understood. This study examines the effects of salt stress on representative plant pathogens: Burkholderia gladioli, Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, and Ralstonia solanacearum. Using pan-genome-based comparative transcriptomics, we analyzed the comprehensive alterations within the biological systems of plant pathogens when treated with 200 mM NaCl. Our results highlight the differential responses between salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant pathogens to salt stress.

Gerlin2020 - Genome scale metabolic model of bacterial growth

Project description:High proliferation rate and robustness are vital characteristics of bacterial pathogens to successfully colonize their hosts. The observation of drastically slow growth in some pathogens is thus paradoxical and remains unexplained. In this study, we sought to understand the slow (fastidious) growth of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa. Using genome-scale metabolic network reconstruction, modeling and experimental validation, we explored its metabolic capabilities. Despite genome reduction and slow growth, the pathogen's metabolic network is complete but strikingly minimalist and lacking robustness. Most alternative reactions were missing, especially those favoring a fast growth, and were replaced by less efficient paths. We also unraveled that the production of some virulence factors imposes a heavy burden on growth. Interestingly, some specific determinants of fastidious growth were also found in other slow-growing pathogens, enriching the view that these metabolic peculiarities are a pathogenicity strategy to remain at low population level.

Transcription profiling of Dictyostelium discoideum in response to infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 and PA14 strains which differ in virulence

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen, infecting immuno-compromised patients and causing persistent respiratory infections in people affected from cystic fibrosis. Pseudomonas strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 shows higher virulence than Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in a wide range of hosts including insects, nematodes and plants but the precise cause of this difference is not fully understood. Little is known about the host response upon infection with Pseudomonas and whether or not transcription is being affected as a host defense mechanism or altered in the benefit of the pathogen. In this context the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has been described as a suitable host to study virulence of Pseudomonas and other opportunistic pathogens.

Pathogen protein modularity enables mimicry of a host phosphatase

Project description:Pathogens rely on a diverse complement of effector proteins to manipulate host cellular processes. The devastating plant pathogen Phytophthora produces numerous effectors that consist of tandem repeats of the “(L)WY” motif. Here, we discovered a specific (L)WY-LWY combination that enables efficient recruitment of the Serine/Threonine protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) core enzyme in plant hosts. Structural characterization of an effector-PP2A complex and biochemical analyses demonstrate multiple effectors adopt this module at the amino terminus to form functional PP2A holoenzymes but have divergent C-terminal LWY units. Our results discovered a virulence strategy widely employed by Phytophthora in which an essential phosphatase complex of the host is appropriated to promote disease and highlight how diversification in an effector repertoire is promoted by protein modularity.

Profiling thimet oligopeptidase-mediated proteolysis in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Plant stress caused by pathogens or though abiotic means (e.g. drought or temperature) reduces agricultural yields, causing substantial economic losses while reducing food security at the global level. It is critical to recognize how plants perceive stress signals to elicit responses for survival. Endogenous plant peptidases and their peptide products play an important role in the signaling of plant immune processes. Thimet oligopeptidases (TOPs) are zinc-dependent peptide hydrolases with a conserved HEXXH active site motif. These metallopeptidases are critical components in plant response to oxidative stress triggered by pathogens or abiotic factors and are required for a fully functioning immune response to certain pathogens. Further characterization of plant TOPs and their peptide substrates would provide insights into their contribution to defense signaling, stress perception, and plant adaptation pathways. Herein, a quantitative mass spectrometry-based peptidomics approach was implemented to characterize the Arabidopsis thaliana plant peptidome and in the context TOPs (Fig. 1). A comparison between wild type (Col-0) and top1top2 null mutant revealed putative direct and indirect TOPs substrates in vivo.

RNA-seq data of Phytophthora infestans 88069 infected tomato leaves

Project description:In both plants and animals, alternative splicing (AS) increases transcriptome and proteome diversity, and play roles in developmental and immune responses. However, the extent of host genome-wide AS changes and how these changes are modulated by adaptive pathogens during disease remain largely unknown. Here we examined AS changes in Phytophthora infestans infected Solanum lycopersicum leaves using paired-end illumina RNA-seq. Quite a number of AS events are independent of gene differential expression, indicating that AS changes may be an additional layer of plant immunity against pathogens. we also demonstrated that P. infestans regulates plant immunity by repressing the AS of positive regulator of plant immunity or activating the AS of susceptibility factor. Furthermore, we established a splicing reporter system and screened some P. infestans splicing regulatory effectors (SREs) that are involved in plant mRNA alternative splicing process. In addition, we demonstrated that the WY motif of SRE3 is required for AS activity and virulence function. Overall, our current data reveal that P. infestans delivers SREs to disrupts host AS regulation machinery and subsequently suppress host immunity.

dAdo regulates plant cell death

Project description:Regulated host cell death is part of a plant defense strategy against pathogens but it is also involved in accommodating certain beneficial root microbes. We have identified extracellular metabolites and intracellular metabolic signals that contribute to beneficial root fungal endophyte colonization, and uncovered a conserved cell death mechanism likely co-opted for establishing plant-endophyte symbiosis.

Pathogen protein modularity enables elaborate mimicry of a host phosphatase

Project description:Pathogens produce diverse effector proteins to manipulate host cellular processes. However, how functional diversity is generated in an effector repertoire is poorly understood. Many effectors in the devastating plant pathogen Phytophthora contain tandem repeats of the “(L)WY” motif, which are structurally conserved but variable in sequences. Here, we discovered a functional module formed by a specific (L)WY-LWY combination in multiple Phytophthora effectors, which efficiently recruit the Serine/Threonine protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) core enzyme in plant hosts. Crystal structure of an effector-PP2A complex shows that the (L)WY-LWY module enables hijacking of the host PP2A core enzyme to form functional holoenzymes. While sharing the PP2A-interacting module at the amino terminus, these effectors possess divergent C-terminal LWY units and regulate distinct sets of phosphoproteins in the host. Our results highlight the appropriation of an essential host phosphatase through molecular mimicry by pathogens and diversification promoted by protein modularity in an effector repertoire.
