Caenorhabditis elegans pgp-5 is involved in resistance to bacterial infection and heavy metal and its regulation requires TIR-1 and a p38 map kinase cascade.

Abstract:

:Animals and plants respond to bacterial infections and environmental stresses by inducing overlapping repertoires of defense genes. How the signals associated with infection and abiotic stresses are differentially integrated within a whole organism remains to be fully addressed. We show that the transcription of a Caenorhabditis elegans ABC transporter, pgp-5 is induced by both bacterial infection and heavy metal stress, but the magnitude and tissue distribution of its expression differs, depending on the type of stressor. PGP-5 contributes to resistance to bacterial infection and heavy metals. Using pgp-5 transcription as a read-out, we show that signals from both biotic and abiotic stresses are integrated by TIR-1, a TIR domain adaptor protein orthologous to human SARM, and a p38 MAP kinase signaling cassette. We further demonstrate that not all the TIR-1 isoforms are necessary for nematode resistance to infection, suggesting a molecular basis for the differential response to abiotic and biotic stress.
