Abstract:
:Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae (Xap), the bacterial blight pathogen of pomegranate, incurs substantial loss to yield and reduces export quality of this economically important fruit crop. During infection, the bacterium secretes six non-TAL (Xop) effectors into the pomegranate cells through a specialized type three secretion system (T3SS). Previously, we demonstrated the role of two key effectors, XopL and XopN in pathogenesis. Here, we investigate the role of rest effectors (XopC2, XopE1, XopQ and XopZ) on disease development. We generated null mutants for each individual effector and mutant bacterial suspension was infiltrated into pomegranate leaves. Compared to Xap wild, the mutant bacterial growth was reduced by 2.7-11.5 folds. The mutants produced lesser water-soaked lesions when infiltrated on leaves by 1.13-2.21 folds. Among the four effectors, XopC2 contributes highest for in planta bacterial growth and disease development. XopC2 efficiently suppressed the defense responses like callose deposition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the activation of immune responsive genes. Being a major contributor, we further characterize XopC2 for its subcellular localization, its protein structure and networking. XopC2 is localized to the plasma membrane of Nicotiana benthamiana like XopL and XopN. XopC2 is a 661 amino acids protein having 15 alpha and 17 beta helix. Our STRING and I-TASSER based analysis hinted that XopC2 interacts with multiple membrane localized plant proteins including transcription regulator of CCR4-NOT family, TTN of maintenance of chromosome family and serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) isoform. Based on the interaction it is predicted that XopC2 might involve in diverse functions like nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, maintenance of chromosome, hormone signaling and protein dephosphorylation activities and thereby suppress the plant immunity. Altogether, our study suggests that Xap largely depends on three non-TAL (Xop) effectors, including XopC2, XopL and XopN, to modulate pomegranate PTI for its unrestricted proliferation during bacterial blight development.
