The rice immune receptor XA21 confers resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the causal agent of bacterial leaf blight. We previously demonstrated that an auxilin-like protein, XA21 BINDING PROTEIN 21 (XB21), positively regulates resistance to Xoo.
To further investigate the function of XB21, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen. We identified 22 unique XB21 interacting proteins, including LEUCINE-RICH REPEAT PROTEIN 1 (LRR1), which we selected for further analysis. Silencing of LRR1 in the XA21 genetic background (XA21-LRR1Ri) compromises resistance to Xoo compared with control XA21 plants. XA21-LRR1Ri plants have reduced Xa21 transcript levels and reduced expression of genes that serve as markers of XA21-mediated activation. Overexpression of LRR1 is insufficient to alter resistance to Xoo in rice lines lacking XA21.
Taken together, our results indicate that LRR1 is required for wild-type Xa21 transcript expression and XA21-mediated immunity.
水稻免疫受体XA21赋予对水稻白叶枯病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae,Xoo)的抗性,Xoo是细菌性条斑病的病原体。我们之前证明,一种类辅助蛋白,XA21结合蛋白21(XB21),正向调控对Xoo的抗性。
为进一步研究XB21的功能,我们进行了酵母双杂交筛选。我们鉴定出22种独特的与XB21相互作用的蛋白,包括富含亮氨酸重复序列蛋白1(LRR1),我们选择其进行进一步分析。与对照XA21植株相比,在XA21遗传背景下沉默LRR1(XA21-LRR1Ri)会损害对Xoo的抗性。XA21-LRR1Ri植株中Xa21转录水平降低,且作为XA21介导激活标记的基因表达减少。在缺乏XA21的水稻品系中过表达LRR1不足以改变对Xoo的抗性。
综上所述,我们的结果表明LRR1是野生型Xa21转录表达和XA21介导的免疫所必需的。
