Resistance to Turnip Crinkle Virus (TCV) in Arabidopsis ecotype Dijon (Di)-17 is conferred by the resistance gene HRT and a recessive locus rrt. In Di-17, TCV elicits a hypersensitive response (HR), which is accompanied by increased expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes and high levels of salicylic acid (SA). We have previously shown that HRT-mediated resistance to TCV is dependent on SA-mediated signal transduction and that increased levels of SA confer enhanced resistance to TCV via upregulation of the HRT gene. Here we show that HRT-mediated HR and resistance are dependent on light. A dark treatment immediately following TCV inoculation suppressed HR, resistance and activation of the majority of the TCV-induced genes. However, the absence of light did not affect either TCV-induced elevated levels of free SA or the expression of HRT. Interestingly, in the dark, transgenic plants overexpressing HRT showed susceptibility, but overexpression of HRT coupled with high levels of endogenous SA resulted in pronounced resistance. Consistent with these results is the finding that exogenous application of SA prior to TCV inoculation partially overcame the requirement for light. Light was also required for N gene-mediated HR and resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus, suggesting that it is an important factor which may be generally required during defense signaling. 相似文献

Inoculation of turnip crinkle virus (TCV) on the resistant Arabidopsis ecotype Di-17 elicits a hypersensitive response (HR), which is accompanied by increased expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes. Previous genetic analyses revealed that the HR to TCV is conferred by HRT, which encodes a coiled-coil (CC), nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) class resistance (R) protein. In contrast to the HR, resistance to TCV requires both HRT and a recessive allele at a second locus designated rrt. Here, we demonstrate that unlike most CC-NBS-LRR R genes, HRT/rrt-mediated resistance is dependent on EDS1 and independent of NDR1. Resistance is also independent of RAR1 and SGT1. HRT/rrt-mediated resistance is compromised in plants with reduced salicylic acid (SA) content as a consequence of mutations eds5, pad4, or sid2. By contrast, HR is not affected by mutations in eds1, eds5, pad4, sid2, ndr1, rar1, or sgt1b. Resistance to TCV is restored in both SA-deficient Di-17 plants expressing the nahG transgene and mutants containing the eds1, eds5, or sid2 mutations by exogenous application of SA or the SA analog benzo(1,2,3)thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid (BTH). In contrast, SA/BTH treatment failed to enhance resistance in HRT pad4, Col-0, or hrt homozygous progeny of a cross between Di-17 and Col-0. Thus, HRT and PAD4 are required for SA-induced resistance. Exogenously supplied SA or high endogenous levels of SA, due to the ssi2 mutation, overcame the suppressive effects of RRT and enhanced resistance to TCV, provided the HRT allele was present. High levels of SA upregulate HRT expression via a PAD4-dependent pathway. As Col-0 transgenic lines expressing high levels of HRT were resistant to TCV, but lines expressing moderate to low levels of HRT were not, we conclude that SA enhances resistance in the RRT background by upregulating HRT expression. These data suggest that the HRT-TCV interaction is unable to generate sufficient amounts of SA required for a stable resistance phenotype, and the presence of rrt possibly corrects this deficiency. 相似文献

The dominant locus, RCY1, in the Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype C24 confers resistance to the yellow strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-Y). The RCY1 locus was mapped to a 150-kb region on chromosome 5. Sequence comparison of this region from C24 and a CMV-Y-susceptible C24 mutant predicts that the RCY1 gene encodes a 104-kDa CC-NBS-LRR-type protein. The RCY1 gene from C24, when expressed in the susceptible ecotype Wassilewskija (Ws), restricted the systemic spread of virus. RCY1 is allelic to the resistance genes RPP8 from the ecotype Landsberg erecta and HRT from the ecotype Dijon-17, which confer resistance to Peronospora parasitica biotype Emco5 and turnip crinkle virus (TCV), respectively. Examination of RCY1 plants defective in salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene signaling revealed a requirement for SA and ethylene signaling in mounting a resistance response to CMV-Y. The RCY1 nahG etr1 double mutants exhibited an intermediate level of susceptibility to CMV-Y, compared to the resistant ecotype C24 and the susceptible ecotypes Columbia and Nossen. This suggests that in addition to SA and ethylene, a novel signaling mechanism is associated with the induction of resistance in CMV-Y-infected C24 plants. Moreover, our results suggest that the signaling pathways downstream of the RPP8, HRT, and RCY1 have evolved independently. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis-turnip crinkle virus (TCV) system is one of the few tractable plant-virus systems that allow simultaneous characterization of host components required for basal- and/or resistance (R) protein-mediated defenses. Another unique feature is that hypersensitive response (HR) and resistance can be studied as two distinct phenotypes in this pathosytem. The R protein HRT confers HR to TCV but requires a recessive locus rrt to confer resistance. The pathways leading to HR and resistance are mutually exclusive. HRT interacts with EDS1, which potentiates HR to TCV and is also required for resistance signaling. HRT-mediated signaling is also dependent on the EDS1-interacting proteins PAD4 and SAG101, which form binary and ternary complexes with EDS1. HRT-mediated resistance is also dependent on light and more specifically on the blue-light photoreceptors, cryptochromes (CRY) and phototropins (PHOT). Of these, CRY2 and PHOT2 are required for the stability of HRT. HRT is degraded in a proteasome-dependent manner, which correlates with its interaction with the E3 ubiquitin ligase, COP1. Together, these results suggest that components of light signaling modulate plant defense against TCV by regulating the stability of, and signaling mediated by, the R protein HRT. 相似文献

Inoculation of turnip crinkle virus (TCV) on the resistant Arabidopsis ecotype Dijon (Di-17) results in the development of a hypersensitive response (HR) on the inoculated leaves. To assess the role of the recently cloned HRT gene in conferring resistance, we monitored both HR and resistance (lack of viral spread to systemic tissues) in the progeny of a cross between resistant Di-17 and susceptible Columbia plants. As expected, HR development segregated as a dominant trait that corresponded with the presence of HRT. However, all of the F(1) plants and three-fourths of HR(+) F(2) plants were susceptible to the virus. These results suggest the presence of a second gene, termed RRT, that regulates resistance to TCV. The allele present in Di-17 appears to be recessive to the allele or alleles present in TCV-susceptible ecotypes. We also demonstrate that HR formation and TCV resistance are dependent on salicylic acid but not on ethylene or jasmonic acid. Furthermore, these phenomena are unaffected by mutations in NPR1. Thus, TCV resistance requires a yet undefined salicylic acid-dependent, NPR1-independent signaling pathway. 相似文献

Plant immunity frequently involves the recognition of pathogen-encoded avirulence (avr) factors by their corresponding plant resistance (R) proteins. This triggers the hypersensitive response (HR) where necrotic lesions formed at the site(s) of infection help restrict pathogen spread. HRT is an Arabidopsis R protein required for resistance to turnip crinkle virus (TCV). In a genetic screen for mutants compromised in the recognition of TCV's avr factor, we identified crt1 (compromised recognition of TCV), a mutant that prematurely terminates an ATPase protein. Following TCV infection, crt1 developed a spreading HR and failed to control viral replication and spread. crt1 also suppressed HR-like cell death induced by ssi4, a constitutively active R protein, and by Pseudomonas syringae carrying avrRpt2. Furthermore, CRT1 interacts with HRT, SSI4, and two other R proteins, RPS2 and Rx. These data identify CRT1 as an important mediator of defense signaling triggered by distinct classes of R proteins. 相似文献

Identification of an Arabidopsis locus required for resistance to turnip crinkle virus 总被引:8,自引:1,他引:7

Inoculation of turnip crinkle virus (TCV) into a (TCV)-resistant line of Arabidopsis thaliana , Di-17, results in the development of a hypersensitive response (HR) on the inoculated leaves. In contrast, an HR does not occur when leaves of the TCV-susceptible Di-3 line or the susceptible ecotypes Columbia (Col-0), or Landsberg erecta ( Ler ) are inoculated. Genetic analysis of progeny from crosses between Di-17 and either Di-3, Col-0 or Ler demonstrates that the development of an HR is regulated by a single dominant nuclear locus, herein designated HRT . Using progeny from a Di-17 X Col-0 cross, HRT was mapped to chromosome 5, where it is tightly linked to the DFR locus. We also demonstrate that a variety of resistance-associated phenomena, including the TCV-induced accumulation of salicylic acid, camalexin and autofluorescent cell-wall material, correlate with the HR, suggesting the possibility that HRT is required for their activation. 相似文献

Two transgenic lines, of Nicotiana benthamiana expressing Turnip crinkle virus (TCV)-coat protein (CP) gene with contrasting phenotype, the highest (#3) and the lowest (#18) CP expressers, were selected
and challenged with the homologous TCV. The former, the highest expresser, showed nearly five times more CP expression than
the latter. Progenies of #3 and #18 lines showed 30 and 100% infection rates, respectively. The infected progenies of #3 line
showed mild and delayed symptom with TCV. This is a coat protein-mediated resistance (CP-MR), and its resistance level is
directly proportional to CP transgene expression. However, CP-MR of the transgenic plants was specific only for TCV but not
for heterologous viruses. Newly growing leaves of those infected progenies of #3 line did not show any visible symptoms at
4-week post-inoculation (wpi) with TCV, suggesting a reversal from infection. This was confirmed by RT-PCR analysis with the
disappearance of the target at 4 wpi. This is a case of RNA-mediated resistance, and a threshold level of transgene expression
may be needed to achieve the silent state. To confirm the RNA silencing, we infiltrated Agrobacterium carrying TCV-CP into leaves of progenies of #3 and performed RT-PCR analysis. The results indicate that TCV-CP’s suppressor
activity against RNA silencing itself can be silenced by the homologous expression of TCV-CP in the transgenic plants. The
transgenic plants containing TCV-CP seem to be a model system to study viral protection mediated by a combination of protein
and RNA silencing.

Differential effectiveness of salicylate-dependent and jasmonate/ethylene-dependent induced resistance in Arabidopsis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET) are each involved in the regulation of basal resistance against different pathogens. These three signals play important roles in induced resistance as well. SA is a key regulator of pathogen-induced systemic acquired resistance (SAR), whereas JA and ET are required for rhizobacteria-mediated induced systemic resistance (ISR). Both types of induced resistance are effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens. In this study, we compared the spectrum of effectiveness of SAR and ISR using an oomycete, a fungal, a bacterial, and a viral pathogen. In noninduced Arabidopsis plants, these pathogens are primarily resisted through either SA-dependent basal resistance (Peronospora parasitica and Turnip crinkle virus [TCV]), JA/ET-dependent basal resistance responses (Alternaria brassicicola), or a combination of SA-, JA-, and ET-dependent defenses (Xanthomonas campestris pv. armoraciae). Activation of ISR resulted in a significant level of protection against A. brassicicola, whereas SAR was ineffective against this pathogen. Conversely, activation of SAR resulted in a high level of protection against P. parasitica and TCV, whereas ISR conferred only weak and no protection against P. parasitica and TCV, respectively. Induction of SAR and ISR was equally effective against X. campestris pv. armoraciae. These results indicate that SAR is effective against pathogens that in noninduced plants are resisted through SA-dependent defenses, whereas ISR is effective against pathogens that in noninduced plants are resisted through JA/ET-dependent defenses. This suggests that SAR and ISR constitute a reinforcement of extant SA- or JA/ET-dependent basal defense responses, respectively. 相似文献

Disease resistance (R) genes are found in plants as either simple (single allelic series) loci, or more frequently as complex loci of tandemly repeated genes. These different loci are likely to be under similar evolutionary forces from pathogens, but the contrast between them suggests important differences in mechanisms associated with DNA structure and recombination that generate and maintain R gene diversity. The RPP13 locus in Arabidopsis represents an important paradigm for studying the evolution of an R gene at a simple locus. The RPP13 allele from the accession Nd-1, designated RPP13-Nd, confers resistance to five different isolates of the biotrophic oomycete, Peronospora parasitica (causal agent of downy mildew), and encodes an NBS-LRR type R protein with a putative amino-terminal leucine zipper. The RPP13-Rld allele, cloned from the accession Rld-2, encodes a different specificity. Comparison of three RPP13 alleles revealed a high rate of amino acid divergence within the LRR domain, less than 80% identity overall, compared to the remainder of the protein (> 95% identity). We also found evidence for positive selection in the LRR domain for amino acid diversification outside the core conserved beta-strand/beta-turn motif, suggesting that more of the LRR structure is available for interaction with target molecules than has previously been reported for other R gene products. Furthermore, an amino acid sequence (LLRVLDL) identical in an LRR among RPP13 alleles is conserved in other LZ NBS-LRR type R proteins, suggesting functional significance. 相似文献

Salicylic acid (SA) and the NIM1/NPR1 protein have both been demonstrated to be required for systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and implicated in expression of race-specific resistance. In this work, we analyzed the role that each of these molecules play in the resistance response triggered by members of two subclasses of resistance (R) genes, members of which recognize unrelated pathogens. We tested the ability of TIR and coiled-coil-class (also known as leucine-zipper-class) R genes to confer resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato or Peronospora parasitica in SA-depleted (NahG) and nim1/npr1 plants. We found that all of the P. syringae pv. tomato-specific R genes tested were dependent upon SA accumulation, while none showed strong dependence upon NIM1/NPR1 activity. A similar SA dependence was observed for the P. parasitica TIR and CC-class R genes RPP5 and RPP8, respectively. However, the P. parasitica-specific R genes differed in their requirement for NIM1/NPR1, with just RPP5 depending upon NIM1/NPR1 activity for effectiveness. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that at least in Arabidopsis, SA accumulation is necessary for the majority of R-gene-triggered resistance, while the role of NIM1/NPR in race-specific resistance is limited to resistance to P. parasitica mediated by TIR-class R genes. 相似文献

SAG101 forms a ternary complex with EDS1 and PAD4 and is required for resistance signaling against turnip crinkle virus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

EDS1, PAD4, and SAG101 are common regulators of plant immunity against many pathogens. EDS1 interacts with both PAD4 and SAG101 but direct interaction between PAD4 and SAG101 has not been detected, leading to the suggestion that the EDS1-PAD4 and EDS1-SAG101 complexes are distinct. We show that EDS1, PAD4, and SAG101 are present in a single complex in planta. While this complex is preferentially nuclear localized, it can be redirected to the cytoplasm in the presence of an extranuclear form of EDS1. PAD4 and SAG101 can in turn, regulate the subcellular localization of EDS1. We also show that the Arabidopsis genome encodes two functionally redundant isoforms of EDS1, either of which can form ternary complexes with PAD4 and SAG101. Simultaneous mutations in both EDS1 isoforms are essential to abrogate resistance (R) protein-mediated defense against turnip crinkle virus (TCV) as well as avrRps4 expressing Pseudomonas syringae. Interestingly, unlike its function as a PAD4 substitute in bacterial resistance, SAG101 is required for R-mediated resistance to TCV, thus implicating a role for the ternary complex in this defense response. However, only EDS1 is required for HRT-mediated HR to TCV, while only PAD4 is required for SA-dependent induction of HRT. Together, these results suggest that EDS1, PAD4 and SAG101 also perform independent functions in HRT-mediated resistance. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis Ler-RPP27 gene confers AtSgt1b-independent resistance to downy mildew (Peronospora parasitica) isolate Hiks1. The RPP27 locus was mapped to a four-bacterial artificial chromosome interval on chromosome 1 from genetic analysis of a cross between the enhanced susceptibility mutant Col-edm1 (Col-sgt1) and Landsberg erecta (Ler-0). A Cf-like candidate gene in this interval was PCR amplified from Ler-0 and transformed into mutant Col-rpp7.1 plants. Homozygous transgenic lines conferred resistance to Hiks1 and at least four Ler-0 avirulent/Columbia-0 (Col-0) virulent isolates of downy mildew pathogen. A full-length RPP27 cDNA was isolated, and analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences showed that the gene encodes a receptor-like protein (RLP) with a distinct domain structure, composed of a signal peptide followed by extracellular Leu-rich repeats, a membrane spanning region, and a short cytoplasmic carboxyl domain. RPP27 is the first RLP-encoding gene to be implicated in disease resistance in Arabidopsis, enabling the deployment of Arabidopsis techniques to investigate the mechanisms of RLP function. Homology searches of the Arabidopsis genome, using the RPP27, Cf-9, and Cf-2 protein sequences as a starting point, identify 59 RLPs, including the already known CLAVATA2 and TOO MANY MOUTHS genes. A combination of sequence and phylogenetic analysis of these predicted RLPs reveals conserved structural features of the family. 相似文献

Satellite RNAs (sat-RNAs) are parasites of viruses that can mediate resistance to the helper virus. We previously showed that a sat-RNA (sat-RNA C) of turnip crinkle virus (TCV), which normally intensifies symptoms of TCV, is able to attenuate symptoms when TCV contains the coat protein (CP) of cardamine chlorotic fleck virus (TCV-CPCCFV). We have now determined that sat-RNA C also attenuates symptoms of TCV containing an alteration in the initiating AUG of the CP open reading frame (TCV-CPm). TCV-CPm, which is able to move systemically in both the TCV-susceptible ecotype Columbia (Col-0) and the TCV-resistant ecotype Dijon (Di-0), produced a reduced level of CP and no detectable virions in infected plants. Sat-RNA C reduced the accumulation of TCV-CPm by < 25% in protoplasts while reducing the level of TCV-CPm by 90 to 100% in uninoculated leaves of Col-0 and Di-0. Our results suggest that in the presence of a reduced level of a possibly altered CP, sat-RNA C reduces virus long-distance movement in a manner that is independent of the salicylic acid-dependent defense pathway. 相似文献

Sugar beet cultivation is dependent on an effective control of beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV, family Benyviridae), which causes tremendous economic losses in sugar production. As the virus is transmitted by a soilborne protist, the use of resistant cultivars is currently the only way to control the disease. The Rz2 gene product belongs to a family of proteins conferring resistance towards diverse pathogens in plants. These proteins contain coiled-coil and leucine-rich repeat domains. After artificial inoculation of homozygous Rz2 resistant sugar beet lines, BNYVV and beet soilborne mosaic virus (BSBMV, family Benyviridae) were not detected. Analysis of the expression of Rz2 in naturally infected plants indicated constitutive expression in the root system. In a transient assay, coexpression of Rz2 and the individual BNYVV-encoded proteins revealed that only the combination of Rz2 and triple gene block protein 1 (TGB1) resulted in a hypersensitive reaction (HR)-like response. Furthermore, HR was also triggered by the TGB1 homologues from BSBMV as well as from the more distantly related beet soilborne virus (family Virgaviridae). This is the first report of an R gene providing resistance across different plant virus families. 相似文献

The disease resistance genes RPS2 of Arabidopsis and N of tobacco, among other recently cloned resistance genes, share several conserved sequences. Degenerate oligonucleotide primers, based on conserved sequences in the nucleotide binding site (NBS) and a weak hydrophobic domain of RPS2 and N, were used to amplify homologous sequences from Arabidopsis thaliana. Amplification products were obtained that were similar in sequence to the disease resistance genes RPS2, RPM1, N and L6. The Arabidopsis CIC-YAC library was used to identify the position of the disease resistance homologs on the Arabidopsis genome. Their map positions could be correlated with the disease resistance loci RPS5, RAC1, RPP9, CAR1, RPP7, RPW2, RPP1, RPP10, RPP14, RPP5, RPP4, RPS2, RPW6, HRT, RPS4, RPP8, RPP21, RPP22, RPP23, RPP24 and TTR1. This method was therefore not only successful in the identification of sequences located within gene clusters that are involved in disease resistance, but could also contribute to the cloning of disease resistance genes from Arabidopsis. 相似文献

Many satellite RNAs (sat-RNAs) can attenuate or intensify the symptoms produced by their helper virus. Sat-RNA C, associated with turnip crinkle virus (TCV), was previously found to intensify the symptoms of TCV on all plants in which TCV produced visible symptoms. However, when the coat protein open reading frame (ORF) of TCV was precisely exchanged with that of cardamine chlorotic fleck virus, sat-RNA C attenuated the moderate symptoms of the chimeric virus when Arabidopsis plants were coinoculated with the chimeric virus. Symptom attenuation was correlated with a reduction in viral RNA levels in inoculated and uninoculated leaves. In protoplasts, the presence of sat-RNA C resulted in a reduction of approximately 70% in the chimeric viral genomic RNA at 44 hr postinoculation, whereas the sat-RNA wa consistently amplified to higher levels by the chimeric virus than by wild-type TCV. TCV with a deletion of the coat protein ORF also resulted in a similar increase in sat-RNA C levels in protoplasts, indicating that the TVC coat protein, or its ORF, downregulates the synthesis of sat-RNA C. These results suggest that the coat protein or its ORF is a viral determinant for symptom modulation by sat-RNA C, and symptom attenuation is at least partly due to inhibition of virus accumulation. 相似文献
