Abstract
Surface-localized pattern recognition receptors perceive pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to activate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) represents a major PTI response.
Here, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana PIF3 negatively regulates plant defense gene expression and resistance to Pseudomonas syringae DC3000. PAMPs trigger phosphorylation of PIF3. Further study reveals that PIF3 interacts with and is phosphorylated by MPK3/6.
By mass spectrometry and site-directed mutagenesis, we identified the corresponding phosphorylation sites which fit for SP motif. We further show that a phospho-mimicking PIF3 variant (PIF36D/pifq) conferred increased susceptibility to P. syringae DC3000 and caused lower levels of defense gene expression in plants.
Together, this study reveals that PIF3 is phosphorylated by MPK3/6 and phosphorylation of the SP motif residues is required for its negative regulation on plant immunity.
期刊介绍:
New Phytologist is a leading publication that showcases exceptional and groundbreaking research in plant science and its practical applications. With a focus on five distinct sections - Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology - the journal covers a wide array of topics ranging from cellular processes to the impact of global environmental changes. We encourage the use of interdisciplinary approaches, and our content is structured to reflect this. Our journal acknowledges the diverse techniques employed in plant science, including molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches, across various subfields.
