             coactivator NPR1 plays dual roles in regulating plant

   Abstract = {Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a broad-spectrum plant
             immune response involving profound transcriptional changes
             that are regulated by the coactivator NPR1. Nuclear
             translocation of NPR1 is a critical regulatory step, but how
             the protein is regulated in the nucleus is unknown. Here, we
             show that turnover of nuclear NPR1 protein plays an
             important role in modulating transcription of its target
             genes. In the absence of pathogen challenge, NPR1 is
             continuously cleared from the nucleus by the proteasome,
             which restricts its coactivator activity to prevent untimely
             activation of SAR. Surprisingly, inducers of SAR promote
             NPR1 phosphorylation at residues Ser11/Ser15, and then
             facilitate its recruitment to a Cullin3-based ubiquitin
             ligase. Turnover of phosphorylated NPR1 is required for full
             induction of target genes and establishment of SAR. These in
             vivo data demonstrate dual roles for coactivator turnover in
             both preventing and stimulating gene transcription to
             regulate plant immunity.},

   Abstract = {Plants activate distinct defense responses depending on the
             lifestyle of the attacker encountered. In these responses,
             salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) play important
             signaling roles. SA induces defense against biotrophic
             pathogens that feed and reproduce on live host cells,
             whereas JA activates defense against necrotrophic pathogens
             that kill host cells for nutrition and reproduction.
             Cross-talk between these defense signaling pathways has been
             shown to optimize the response against a single attacker.
             However, its role in defense against multiple pathogens with
             distinct lifestyles is unknown. Here we show that infection
             with biotrophic Pseudomonas syringae, which induces
             SA-mediated defense, rendered plants more susceptible to the
             necrotrophic pathogen Alternaria brassicicola by suppression
             of the JA signaling pathway. This process was partly
             dependent on the cross-talk modulator NPR1. Surprisingly,
             this tradeoff was restricted to tissues adjacent to the site
             of initial infection; A. brassicicola infection in systemic
             tissue was not affected. Even more surprisingly, tradeoff
             occurred only with the virulent Pseudomonas strain.
             Avirulent strains that induced programmed cell death (PCD),
             an effective plant-resistance mechanism against biotrophs,
             did not cause suppression of JA-dependent defense. This
             result might be advantageous to the plant by preventing
             necrotrophic pathogen growth in tissues undergoing PCD. Our
             findings show that plants tightly control cross-talk between
             SA- and JA-dependent defenses in a previously unrecognized
             spatial and pathogen type-specific fashion. This process
             allows them to prevent unfavorable signal interactions and
             maximize their ability to concomitantly fend off multiple
             pathogens.},

   Title = {Overexpression of Arabidopsis MAP kinase kinase 7 leads to
             activation of plant basal and systemic acquired
             resistance.},
   Journal = {Plant J},
   Year = {2007},
   Month = {October},
   ISSN = {0960-7412},
   Abstract = {There is a growing body of evidence indicating that
             mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are
             involved in plant defense responses. Analysis of the
             completed Arabidopsis thaliana genome sequence has revealed
             the existence of 20 MAPKs, 10 MAPKKs and 60 MAPKKKs,
             implying a high level of complexity in MAPK signaling
             pathways, and making the assignment of gene functions
             difficult. The MAP kinase kinase 7 (MKK7) gene of
             Arabidopsis has previously been shown to negatively regulate
             polar auxin transport. Here we provide evidence that MKK7
             positively regulates plant basal and systemic acquired
             resistance (SAR). The activation-tagged bud1 mutant, in
             which the expression of MKK7 is increased, accumulates
             elevated levels of salicylic acid (SA), exhibits
             constitutive pathogenesis-related (PR) gene expression, and
             displays enhanced resistance to both Pseudomonas syringae
             pv. maculicola (Psm) ES4326 and Hyaloperonospora parasitica
             Noco2. Both PR gene expression and disease resistance of the
             bud1 plants depend on SA, and partially depend on NPR1. We
             demonstrate that the constitutive defense response in bud1
             plants is a result of the increased expression of MKK7, and
             requires the kinase activity of the MKK7 protein. We found
             that expression of the MKK7 gene in wild-type plants is
             induced by pathogen infection. Reducing mRNA levels of MKK7
             by antisense RNA expression not only compromises basal
             resistance, but also blocks the induction of SAR.
             Intriguingly, ectopic expression of MKK7 in local tissues
             induces PR gene expression and resistance to Psm ES4326 in
             systemic tissues, indicating that activation of MKK7 is
             sufficient for generating the mobile signal of
             SAR.},

             repression of the auxin signaling pathway.},

   ISSN = {0960-9822},
   Abstract = {The phytohormone auxin regulates almost every aspect of
             plant development. At the molecular level, auxin induces
             gene expression through direct physical interaction with the
             TIR1-like F box proteins, which in turn remove the Aux/IAA
             family of transcriptional repressors [1-4]. A growing body
             of evidence indicates that many plant pathogens can either
             produce auxin themselves or manipulate host auxin
             biosynthesis to interfere with the host's normal
             developmental processes [5-11]. In response, plants probably
             evolved mechanisms to repress auxin signaling during
             infection as a defense strategy. Plants overaccumulating the
             defense signal molecule salicylic acid (SA) frequently
             display morphological phenotypes that are reminiscent of
             auxin-deficient or auxin-insensitive mutants, indicating
             that SA might interfere with auxin responses. By using the
             Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChip for Arabidopsis thaliana, we
             performed a comprehensive study of the effects of SA on
             auxin signaling [12]. We found that SA causes global
             repression of auxin-related genes, including the TIR1
             receptor gene, resulting in stabilization of the Aux/IAA
             repressor proteins and inhibition of auxin responses. We
             demonstrate that this inhibitory effect on auxin signaling
             is a part of the SA-mediated disease-resistance
             mechanism.},

   Abstract = {Cryptococcus is a globally distributed human fungal pathogen
             that primarily afflicts immunocompromised individuals. How
             and why this human fungal pathogen associates with plants
             and how this environmental niche influences its life cycle
             remains a mystery. We established Cryptococcus-Arabidopsis
             and Cryptococcus-Eucalyptus systems and discovered that
             Cryptococcus proliferates and mates on plant surfaces.
             Mating efficiency of C. gattii was markedly enhanced on
             plants and myo-inositol and indole acetic acid were specific
             plant products that stimulated mating. On Arabidopsis,
             dwarfing and chlorosis were observed following infection
             with a fungal mixture of two opposite mating-type strains,
             but not with either mating-type alone. This infection
             process is countered by the plant jasmonate-mediated defense
             mechanism. These findings reveal that Cryptococcus can
             parasitically interact with plants to complete its sexual
             cycle, which may impact an understanding of the origin and
             evolution of both plant and animal fungal pathogens in
             nature.},

   Abstract = {TGA transcription factors are implicated as regulators of
             pathogenesis-related (PR) genes because of their physical
             interaction with the known positive regulator, nonexpresser
             of PR gene1 (NPR1). A triple-knockout mutant tga2-1 tga5-1
             tga6-1 was shown previously to be defective in the induction
             of PR genes and systemic acquired resistance, confirming
             their role in disease resistance. However, the contributions
             of individual TGA factors have been difficult to discern
             because of functional redundancy among these factors, as
             well as possible dual functions for some single factors. In
             this study, we characterized six TGA factors by reverse
             genetics. We show that TGA3 is required for both basal and
             2,6-dichloroisonicotinic acid-induced transcription of PR
             genes. The tga3-1 mutants were found to be defective in
             basal pathogen resistance, whereas induced resistance was
             unaffected. TGA1 and TGA4 play partially redundant roles in
             regulation of basal resistance, having only moderate effects
             on PR gene expression. Additionally, an activation-tagged
             mutant of TGA6 was able to increase basal as well as induced
             expression of PR1, demonstrating a positive role for TGA6 on
             PR gene expression. In contrast, TGA2 has repressor activity
             on PR gene expression even though it can act as a positive
             regulator in the tga5-1 tga6-1 null mutant background.
             Finally, we examined the genetic interaction between tga2-2
             and suppressor of npr1 inducible1 (sni1-1). TGA2's repressor
             activity overlaps with SNI1 because the tga2-2 sni1-1 double
             mutant shows a synergistic effect on PR gene
             expression.},

   Abstract = {The plant immune response known as systemic acquired
             resistance (SAR) is a general defense mechanism that confers
             long-lasting resistance against a broad spectrum of
             pathogens. SAR triggers many molecular changes including
             accumulation of antimicrobial pathogenesis-related (PR)
             proteins. Transcription of PR genes in Arabidopsis is
             regulated by the coactivator NPR1 and the repressor SNI1.
             Pathogen infection also triggers an increase in somatic DNA
             recombination, which results in transmission of changes to
             the offspring of infected plants. However, it is not known
             how the induction of homologous recombination during SAR is
             controlled. Here, we show that SNI1 and RAD51D regulate both
             gene expression and DNA recombination. In a genetic screen
             for suppressors of sni1, we discovered that RAD51D is
             required for NPR1-independent PR gene expression. As a
             result, the rad51d mutant has enhanced disease
             susceptibility. Besides altered PR gene expression, rad51d
             plants are hypersensitive to DNA-damaging agents and are
             impaired in homologous recombination. The dual role of
             RAD51D and SNI1 in PR gene transcription and DNA
             recombination suggests a mechanistic link between the
             short-term defense response and a long-term survival
             strategy.},

   Abstract = {The expression of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in
             plants involves the upregulation of many
             Pathogenesis-Related (PR) genes, which work in concert to
             confer resistance to a broad spectrum of pathogens. Because
             SAR is a costly process, SAR-associated transcription must
             be tightly regulated. Arabidopsis thaliana SNI1 (for
             Suppressor of NPR1, Inducible) is a negative regulator of
             SAR required to dampen the basal expression of PR genes.
             Whole genome transcriptional profiling showed that in the
             sni1 mutant, Nonexpresser of PR genes (NPR1)-dependent
             benzothiadiazole S-methylester-responsive genes were
             specifically derepressed. Interestingly, SNI1 also repressed
             transcription when expressed in yeast, suggesting that it
             functions as an active transcriptional repressor through a
             highly conserved mechanism. Chromatin immunoprecipitation
             indicated that histone modification may be involved in
             SNI1-mediated repression. Sequence comparison with orthologs
             in other plant species and a saturating NAAIRS-scanning
             mutagenesis of SNI1 identified regions in SNI1 that are
             required for its activity. The structural similarity of SNI1
             to Armadillo repeat proteins implies that SNI1 may form a
             scaffold for interaction with proteins that modulate
             transcription.},
