Project description:The coordination of chloroplast and nuclear genome status are critical for plant cell function, but the mechanism remain largely unclear. In this study, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana CHLOROPLAST AND NUCLEUS DUAL-LOCALIZED PROTEIN 1 (CND1) maintains genome stability in both the chloroplast and the nucleus.

Project description:Arabidopsis nuclear RecA homologue RA51D were reported to be involved in plant defense responses. Plant organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplast also have their own RecA homologues. We focused on chloroplast RecA homologue RECA1 because it has been well known that the precursors of phytohormones and secondary metabolites related to plant defense responses are synthesized in chloroplast and recent studies have identified several chloroplastic proteins invoved with plant defense responses. We used microarrays to investigate the global gene expression changes by RECA1.

Project description:Biofilm lifestyle is critical for bacterial pathogens to colonize and protect themselves from host immunity and antimicrobial chemicals in plants and animals. The formation and regulation mechanism of phytobacterial biofilm are still obscure. Here, we found that Ralstonia solanacearum Resistance to ultraviolet C (RuvC) is highly abundant in biofilm and positively regulates pathogenicity by governing systemic movement in tomato xylem. RuvC protein accumulates at the later stage of biofilm and specifically targets the Holliday junction (HJ) like structures to disrupt biofilm extracellular DNA (eDNA) lattice, thus facilitating biofilm dispersal. Recombinant RuvC protein can resolve extracellular HJ prevent bacterial biofilm formation. Heterologous expression of R. solanacearum or Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae RuvC with plant secretion signal in tomato or rice confers resistance to bacterial wilt or bacterial blight disease, respectively. Plant chloroplast localized HJ resolvase monokaryotic chloroplast 1 (MOC1) which is structural similar to bacterial RuvC shows a strong inhibit effect on bacterial biofilm formation. Re-localization of SlMOC1 to apoplast in tomato roots leads to increase resistance to bacterial wilt. Our novel finding reveals a critical pathogenesis mechanism of R. solanacearum and provides an efficient biotechnology strategy to improve plant resistance to bacteria vascular disease.

We used microarrays to investigate the global gene expression changes by RECA1 and identified the up-regualted genes involved with plant defense response. 2-week-old Col-0 and RECA1(at1g79050)-overexpressing plants without any treatments were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Col-0 plants were used as control and T3 RECA1-overexpressing transgenic plants were used in this study.
