Abstract
Pseudomonas syringae deploys a type III secretion system (T3SS) to deliver effector proteins to facilitate infection of plant cells; however, little is known about the direct interactions between T3SS components and plants. Here, we show that the specialized lytic transglycosylase (SLT) domain of P. syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 T3SS component HrpH is necessary for effector translocation. HrpH and its SLT domain induce host cell death and suppress pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). Transgenic hrpH-Arabidopsis plants exhibit decreased PTI responses and enhanced susceptibility to Pst DC3000ΔhrcQ-U. HrpH suppresses salicylic acid (SA) signaling and interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligase ATL2 via its SLT domain, independent of its catalytic glutamate. ATL2 silencing indicates that ATL2 is required for basal resistance to bacterial infection, HrpH-triggered cell death, and suppressing MAPK and SA signaling. Our findings highlight that beyond serving as a lytic transglycosylase for effector delivery, HrpH targets an E3 ligase to modulate plant immunity.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
