Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is an important enzyme in energy metabolism with diverse cellular regulatory roles vertebrates, but few reports have investigated the importance of plant GAPDH isoforms outside their role glycolysis. While animals possess one isoform, plants multiple isoforms. In this study, cell biological and genetic approaches were used to investigate GAPDHs during immune responses. Individual Arabidopsis knockouts (KO lines) exhibited enhanced disease...
Abstract Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is critical for successful activation immune responses against pathogen infection. The plant NADPH oxidase RBOHD a primary player in ROS production during innate immunity. However, how negatively regulated remains elusive. Here we show that by C-terminal phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Genetic biochemical analyses reveal the PBL13 receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase phosphorylates RBOHD’s C-terminus two phosphorylated residues (S862 T912)...
Ethylene plays diverse roles in plant growth, development and stress responses. However, the of ethylene signaling immune responses remain largely unknown. In this study, we showed that blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae infection activated biosynthesis rice. Resistant rice cultivars accumulated higher levels than susceptible ones. components OsEIN2 downstream transcription factor OsEIL1 positively regulated disease resistance. Mutation led to enhanced susceptibility. Whole-genome analysis...
Abstract Many phytopathogens secrete cell wall degradation enzymes (CWDEs) to damage host cells and facilitate colonization. As the major components of plant wall, cellulose hemicellulose are targets CWDEs. Damaged often release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) trigger immune responses. Here, we establish that fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae secretes endoglucanases MoCel12A MoCel12B during infection rice ( Oryza sativa ). These target two specific oligosaccharides, namely...
Pathogen perception by the plant innate immune system is of central importance to survival and productivity. The Arabidopsis protein RIN4 a negative regulator immunity. In order identify additional proteins involved in RIN4-mediated signal transduction, we purified components complex. We identified six novel that had not previously been implicated signaling, including plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPases AHA1 and/or AHA2. interacts with AHA2 both vitro vivo. overexpression knockout lines exhibit...
Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition or fertilization has been found to significantly affect carbon (C) cycling. However, a comprehensive understanding of how different C chemical components plant, litter, and soil would respond external N addition is still lacking. We compiled data 1,160 observations from 52 individual studies conducted meta-analysis effects on 18 variables related compositions in terrestrial ecosystems. Results showed that plant lignin (+7.13%), protein (+25.94%), (+7.30%)...
To defend against pathogens, plants have developed complex immune systems, including plasma membrane receptors that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns, such as chitin from fungal cell walls, and mount a defense response. Here, we identify chitinase, MoChia1 (Magnaporthe oryzae chitinase 1), secreted by M. oryzae, pathogen of rice (Oryza sativa). can trigger plant responses, expression under an inducible promoter in enhances its resistance to is functional required for growth...
The apoplast serves as the first battlefield between plant hosts and invading microbes; therefore, work on plant-pathogen interactions has increasingly focused apoplastic immunity. In this study, we identified three proteins in of cotton (Gossypium sp) root cells during interaction with fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae. Among these proteins, host secrete chitinase 28 (Chi28) Cys-rich repeat protein 1 (CRR1), while releases protease VdSSEP1. Biochemical analysis demonstrated that VdSSEP1...
ABSTRACT Ethylene has been regarded as a stress hormone involved in many responses. However, ethylene receptors have not studied for the roles they played under salt condition. Previously, we characterized an receptor gene NTHK1 from tobacco, and found that is salt‐inducible. Here, report further investigation towards function of response to by using transgenic approach. We promotes leaf growth tobacco seedlings but affects sensitivity these Differential Na + /K ratio was observed control...
The plant plasma membrane is a crucial mediator of the interaction between plants and microbes. Understanding how proteome responds to diverse immune signaling events will lead greater understanding immunity uncover novel targets for crop improvement. Here we report results from large scale quantitative proteomics study membrane-enriched fractions upon activation Arabidopsis thaliana receptor RPS2. More than 2300 proteins were identified in total, with 1353 reproducibly across multiple...
Plant surface-localized pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) perceive conserved microbial features, termed pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), resulting in disease resistance. PAMP perception leads to calcium influx, MAPK activation, a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated by RbohD, accumulation the defense hormone salicylic acid (SA), and callose deposition. Lectin receptor-like kinases (LecRKs) belong specific PRR family are important players plant innate immunity....
Abstract Crosstalk between plant hormone signaling pathways is vital for controlling the immune response during pathogen invasion. Salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic (JA) often play important but antagonistic roles in responses of higher plants. Here, we identify a basic helix‐loop‐helix transcription activator, OsbHLH6, which confers disease resistance rice by regulating SA JA via nucleo‐cytosolic trafficking ( Oryza sativa ). OsbHLH6 expression was upregulated Magnaporthe oryzae infection....
Acquisition of nutrients from different species is necessary for pathogen colonization. Iron an essential mineral nutrient nearly all organisms, but little known about how pathogens manipulate plant hosts to acquire iron. Here, we report that AvrRps4, effector protein delivered by Pseudomonas syringae bacteria plants, interacts with and targets the iron sensor BRUTUS (BTS) facilitate uptake proliferation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Infection rps4 eds1 P. pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 expressing...
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis is essential for plants to manage responses under environmental stress. Plant immune activation requires the ER, but how ER associated with plant largely unexplored. Here we find that transcription of an HVA22 family gene, OsHLP1 (HVA22-like protein 1), induced by Magnaporthe oryzae infection. Overexpression significantly enhances blast disease resistance impairs morphology in rice (Oryza sativa), resulting enhanced sensitivity interacts NAC (NAM, ATAF,...
Abstract Rice false smut caused by Ustilaginoidea virens is emerging as a devastating disease of rice (Oryza sativa) worldwide; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying U. virulence and pathogenicity remain largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that small cysteine-rich secreted protein SCRE6 in translocated into host cells during infection factor. Knockout leads to attenuated rice. its homologs function novel family mitogen-activated kinase phosphatases harboring no canonical phosphatase...
Pseudomonas syringae subverts plant immune signalling through injection of type III secreted effectors (T3SE) into host cells. The T3SE HopF2 can disable Arabidopsis immunity Its ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Proteomic analysis interacting proteins identified a protein complex containing ATPases required for regulating stomatal aperture, suggesting may manipulate immunity. Here we report inhibit independent its Transgenic expression in inhibits closing response to P. and increases the...
Mastitis affects almost all mammals including humans and dairy cows. In the industry, bovine mastitis is a disease with persistently high incidence, causing serious losses to health of cows, quality products, economy farms. Although local udder infection caused by invasion exogenous pathogens into mammary gland was considered main cause mastitis, evidence has been established continues grow, showing that nutrition factors gastrointestinal microbiome (GM) as well their metabolites are also...
