AvrPphB SUSCEPTIBLE 1

Last updated

AvrPphB SUSCEPTIBLE 1/PBS1 is a protein kinase acting upon serine and threonine. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is a Receptor-Like Cytoplasmic Kinase, of Subfamily VII. [5] It is the guardee of RESISTANCE TO PSEUDOMONAS SYRINGAE 5/RPS5. [6] [7] PBS1 is cleaved by an effector, AvrPphB, used by Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola, serving as an immunological decoy to signal RPS5 that an attack is underway [6] as reviewed by Kourelis et al. 2016.

Evolutionary history

Targets are under so much pressure from effectors that McDowell & Simon 2006 expected PBS1 to experience diversifying selection. They looked forward to results finding little sequence affinity, an entire family of PBS1s, and radiation across descendant plant species. [7]

However just a few years later PBS1 was demonstrated by Caldwell and Michelmore 2009 to be one of the most conserved proteins in all flowering plants. Further, they found it to be so widespread that it must have yet-undiscovered function(s): It is found widely even in taxa with no RPS5 guard. They speculate that these other functions are so vital that PBS1 is being prevented from otherwise adapting to effectors - thus possibly dumping that evolutionary pressure onto the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors guarding it instead. [7]

They also found this to make PBS1 an even more useful modifiable immune decoy, as it is recognized by a wider array of convergently evolved immune proteins than just RPS5. [7]

Orthologs

One model and many economic plants are known to have multiple orthologs per genome:

  • AtPBS15 x Alanine - with a 5-Alanine insertion to produce a gape in the cleavage site, falsely mimicking constant cleavage by the effector [7]

Future research

As of 2020 Indiana University (home of Pottinger and Innes) is prosecuting a family of patents for the RPS5-PBS1 decoy system. In the future it is expected that modified PBS1 decoys will become cheaper and easier to make as unrelated molecular genetics technologies improve. This system will only be deployable against effectors which act intracellularly within the host, as PBS1 is not located in any extracellular locations. The determination of the structure of ZAR1 has been useful in understanding NLRs in general, and that information will continue to be applied to understand and develop PBS1s. [7]

Arabidopsis thaliana, the thale cress, mouse-ear cress or arabidopsis, is a small plant from the mustard family (Brassicaceae), native to Eurasia and Africa. Commonly found along the shoulders of roads and in disturbed land, it is generally considered a weed.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Protease</span> Enzyme that cleaves other proteins into smaller peptides

A protease is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products. They do this by cleaving the peptide bonds within proteins by hydrolysis, a reaction where water breaks bonds. Proteases are involved in numerous biological pathways, including digestion of ingested proteins, protein catabolism, and cell signaling.

Cytokinins (CK) are a class of plant hormones that promote cell division, or cytokinesis, in plant roots and shoots. They are involved primarily in cell growth and differentiation, but also affect apical dominance, axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hypersensitive response</span>

Hypersensitive response (HR) is a mechanism used by plants to prevent the spread of infection by microbial pathogens. HR is characterized by the rapid death of cells in the local region surrounding an infection and it serves to restrict the growth and spread of pathogens to other parts of the plant. It is analogous to the innate immune system found in animals, and commonly precedes a slower systemic response, which ultimately leads to systemic acquired resistance (SAR). HR can be observed in the vast majority of plant species and is induced by a wide range of plant pathogens such as oomycetes, viruses, fungi and even insects.

The gene-for-gene relationship is a concept in plant pathology that plants and their diseases each have single genes that interact with each other during an infection. It was proposed by Harold Henry Flor who was working with rust (Melampsora lini) of flax (Linum usitatissimum). Flor showed that the inheritance of both resistance in the host and parasite ability to cause disease is controlled by pairs of matching genes. One is a plant gene called the resistance (R) gene. The other is a parasite gene called the avirulence (Avr) gene. Plants producing a specific R gene product are resistant towards a pathogen that produces the corresponding Avr gene product. Gene-for-gene relationships are a widespread and very important aspect of plant disease resistance. Another example can be seen with Lactuca serriola versus Bremia lactucae.

WNK , also known as WNK1, is an enzyme that is encoded by the WNK1 gene. WNK1 is serine-threonine protein kinase and part of the "with no lysine/K" kinase WNK family. The predominant role of WNK1 is the regulation of cation-Cl− cotransporters (CCCs) such as the sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC), basolateral Na-K-Cl symporter (NKCC1), and potassium chloride cotransporter (KCC1) located within the kidney. CCCs mediate ion homeostasis and modulate blood pressure by transporting ions in and out of the cell. WNK1 mutations as a result have been implicated in blood pressure disorders/diseases; a prime example being familial hyperkalemic hypertension (FHHt).

Resistance genes (R-Genes) are genes in plant genomes that convey plant disease resistance against pathogens by producing R proteins. The main class of R-genes consist of a nucleotide binding domain (NB) and a leucine rich repeat (LRR) domain(s) and are often referred to as (NB-LRR) R-genes or NLRs. Generally, the NB domain binds either ATP/ADP or GTP/GDP. The LRR domain is often involved in protein-protein interactions as well as ligand binding. NB-LRR R-genes can be further subdivided into toll interleukin 1 receptor (TIR-NB-LRR) and coiled-coil (CC-NB-LRR).

Guard theory is a branch of immunology which concerns the innate sensing of stereotypical consequences of a virulence factor or pathogen. This is in contrast to the classical understanding of recognition by the innate immune system, which involves recognition of distinct microbial structures- pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)- with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Some of these stereotypical consequences of virulence factors and pathogens may include altered endosomal trafficking and changes in the cytoskeleton. These recognition mechanisms would work to complement classical pattern recognition mechanisms.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) networks are the pathways and signaling of MAPK, which is a protein kinase that consists of amino acids serine and threonine. MAPK pathways have both a positive and negative regulation in plants. A positive regulation of MAPK networks is to help in assisting with stresses from the environment. A negative regulation of MAPK networks is pertaining to a high quantity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the plant.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">FLS2</span>

FLS genes have been discovered to be involved in flagellin reception of bacteria. FLS1 was the original gene discovered shown to correspond with a specific ecotype within Arabidopsis thaliana. Even so, further studies have shown a second FLS gene known as FLS2 that is also associated with flagellin reception. FLS2 and FLS1 are different genes with different responsibilities, but are related genetically. FLS2 has a specific focus in plant defense and is involved in promoting the MAP kinase cascade. Mutations in the FLS2 gene can cause bacterial infection by lack of response to flg22. Therefore,FLS2’s primary focus is association with flg22 while its secondary focus is the involvement of promoting the MAP kinase cascade in plant defense.
