The Arabidopsis plasma membrane-localized resistance protein RPM1 is degraded upon the induction of the hypersensitive response (HR) triggered in response to its own activation or that of other unrelated resistance (R) proteins. We investigated the role of RPM1 turnover in RPM1-mediated resistance and showed that degradation of RPM1 is not associated with HR or resistance mediated by this R protein. Likewise, the runaway cell death phenotype in the lsd1 mutant was not associated with RPM1 degradation and did not alter RPM1-derived resistance. RPM1 stability and RPM1-mediated resistance were dependent on the double-stranded RNA binding (DRB) proteins 1 and 4. Interestingly, the function of DRB1 in RPM1-mediated resistance was not associated with its role in pre-miRNA processing. The DRB3 and DRB5 proteins negatively regulated RPM1-mediated resistance and a mutation in these completely or partially restored resistance in the drb1, drb2, and drb4 mutant backgrounds. Conversely, plants overexpressing DRB5 showed attenuated RPM1-mediated resistance. A similar role for DRBs in basal and R-mediated resistance suggests that these proteins play a general role in bacterial resistance.

Background: Rice is the main food crop for much of the population in China. Therefore, selecting and breeding new disease resistance and drought tolerance in rice is essential to ensure national food security. The utilization of heterosis has significantly enhanced rice productivity, yet many of the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain largely unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) causes bacterial canker, a serious threat to the Actinidia fruit industry, and researchers are investigating non-host resistance genes against it.
  • The study highlights the role of the NLR protein ZAR1 from Arabidopsis and Nicotiana benthamiana, which can recognize the effector HopZ5 and activate cell death, with ZED1 and JIM2 being essential components in this process.
  • It was found that ZAR1 confers specific resistance to bacterial strains in a unique way compared to another NLR called RPM1, revealing complex interactions in disease resistance mechanisms and suggesting ZAR1’s potential for enhancing resistance against P

Resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. Maculicola 1 (RPM1) is a crucial immune receptor conferring plant enhanced resistance to pathogenic bacteria. RPM1-interacting protein 13 (RIN13) enhances RPM1-mediated disease resistance through interacting with the central domain of RPM1 in Arabidopsis, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive.
