Abstract:
:The type III secretion system (T3SS) is required for Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) virulence by translocating effectors into host cytoplasm to promote disease development. The T3SS is controlled by the master transcriptional regulators HrpG and HrpX. While the function of HrpG and HrpX are well characterized, their upstream regulation remains elusive. By using transposon mutagenesis, we identified XAC3052, a TetR-family transcriptional regulator, which regulates T3SS gene expression. Deletion of XAC3052 caused significant reduction in the expression of T3SS and effector genes in vitro and in planta; as well as reduction of virulence in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis). Overexpression of hrpG restored the virulence of ∆XAC3052, suggesting that the loss of virulence is caused by reduction of T3SS gene expression. XAC3052 directly binds to the promoter region and represses the transcription of fadE, mhpC and fadH genes. FadE, MhpC and FadH are not involved in T3SS regulation, but involved in fatty acid catabolism. ∆XAC3052 displays altered fatty acid composition and retarded growth in environments limited in fatty acids. Exogenously supplemented long-chain fatty acids activate the fadE/mhpC promoter and suppress T3SS promoters in wild-type Xac but not in ∆XAC3052. Moreover, the binding of XAC3052 to its target promoter was disrupted by long-chain fatty acids in vitro. Herein, XAC3052 is designated as TfmR (T3SS and Fatty acid Mechanism Regulator). This study identifies a novel regulator of fatty acid metabolism and suggests that fatty acids play an important role in the metabolic control of virulence in Xcc.
