Project description:To characterize the PTI response of tomato and the effect of the delivery of a subset of effectors, we performed an RNA-seq analysis of tomato Rio Grande prf3 leaves challenged with either the flgII-28 peptide or the following bacterial strains: Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV2260, Pseudomonas fluorescens 55, Pseudomonas putida KT2440, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000, Pst DC3000 deltahrcQ-U deltafliC and Pst DC3000 deltaavrPto deltaavrPtoB. NOTE: Samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession. This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence âSource Nameâ was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 6 (Psa6) is a causal agent of kiwifruit bacterial canker and is a unique plant pathogenic bacterium, producing two types of phytotoxins, coronatine and phaseolotoxin. We investigated the expression behavior of virulent genes of Psa6 under various culture conditions.
Project description:Whole genome gene expression study comparing Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 (Wt) relative to a delta-pst mutant (deletion of the pstSCAB operon) that consitutively expresses the Pho regulon Mutants used in this study are further described in Monds, R.D. Newell, P.D., Gross, R.H., O'Toole, G.A. (2007) Phosphate-dependent modulation of c-di-GMP levels regulates Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 biofilm formation by controlling secretion of the adhesin LapA. Mol. Microbiol. 63(3): 656-679 A four chip study using total RNA recovered from two independent wild-type cultures of wild type strain Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 and two independent cultures of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 delta pst mutant (deletion of the pstSCAB operon). Each chip measures the expression level of 5733 open reading frames (ORFs) genes from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 (Refseq: NC_007492) with twenty 60-mer postive match (PM) probes per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata is a member of the sugar beet pathobiome and the causative agent of leaf spot disease. Like many pathogenic bacteria, P. syringae relies on the secretion of toxins, which manipulate host-pathogen interactions, to establish and maintain an infection. This study analyzes the secretome of six pathogenic P. syringae pv. aptata strains with different defined virulence capacities in order to identify common and strain-specific features, and correlate the secretome with disease outcome. All strains show a high type III secretion system (T3SS) and type VI secretion system (T6SS) activity under apoplast-like conditions mimicking the infection. Surprisingly, we found that low pathogenic strains show a higher secretion of most T3SS substrates (19 of the 23 detected effectors and accessory harpin proteins), whereas a distinct subgroup of four effectors is exclusively secreted in medium and high pathogenic strains. Similarly, we detected two T6SS secretion patterns: while one set of proteins was highly secreted in all strains, another subset consisting of known T6SS substrates and previously uncharacterized proteins with a highly similar secretion pattern was exclusively secreted in medium and high virulence strains. Taken together, our data shows that P. syringae pathogenicity is correlated with the repertoire and fine-tuning of effector secretion and indicates distinct strategies for establishing virulence of P. syringae pv. aptata in plants.
Project description:Pseudomonas syringae is an important plant pathogen that infects a wide variety of crops. The mgo (mangotoxin-generating operon) gene cluster produces an extracellular signaling molecule, leudiazen, and is highly conserved in Pseudomonas syringae strains. Here, we genetically removed mgo in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) UMAF0158 to interrogate its impacts on bacterial infection. Loss of mgo not only alleviated the chlorosis symptom caused by Pss UMAF0158 infection, but also reduced bacterial population in tomato leaflets. Structure-activity relationship revealed that the diazeniumdiolate group and the isobutyl side chain of leudiazen are critical for its signaling activity. Through global transcriptome analysis, we found that mgo regulates the expression of a new gene cluster in addition to mangotoxin biosynthetic operon, namely RS17235-RS17245. This new gene cluster contributes to in planta survival of Pss UMAF0158 and is widely distributed in Pseudomonas syringae strains. Our results demonstrate that chemical signaling systems in plant pathogens play prominent roles in virulence and population increase and set stages for understanding downstream components of mgo-regulated signaling pathways.
Project description:Pseudomonas syringae uses HrpRSL to regulate the expression of type III secretion system (T3SS) genes and bacterial virulence. However, the molecular mechanism and the regulons of HrpRSL have yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) on HrpRSL and Lon. The direct regulation of these genes by corresponding regulator has been confirmed by Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (qRT-PCR). Binding motifs are found by using MEME suite and verified by footprint assays in vitro. Collectively, this work provides new cues to better understand the detailed regulatory networks of T3SS systems in P. syringae. ChIP-seq analysis of HrpRSL and Lon in Pseudomonas syringas
