Abstract
Tabtoxinine-β-lactam (TβL), a non-specific bacterial toxin, is produced by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci, the causal agent of tobacco wildfire disease. TβL causes death of plant cells through the inhibition of glutamine synthetase, which leads to an abnormal accumulation of ammonium ions and the characteristic necrotic wildfire lesions. To better understand the mechanisms involved in TβL-induced cell death, we studied its regulation in Nicotiana benthamiana. TβL-induced lesions, similar to those in controls, could be observed in SGT1-, RAR1- and Hsp90-silenced plants. In contrast, Hsp70-silenced plants showed suppression of lesion formation. Expression of hin1, a marker gene for the hypersensitive response (HR), which is a characteristic of programmed cell death in plants, was strongly induced in controls by TβL treatment but only slightly in Hsp70-silenced plants. However, in these TβL-treated Hsp70-silenced plants, the amount of ammonium ions was considerably increased. Furthermore, the silencing of Hsp70 also suppressed l-methionine sulfoximine-induced cell death and hin1 expression and caused the over-accumulation of ammonium ions. When inoculated directly with P. syringae pv. tabaci, Hsp70-silenced plants showed only red...Continue Reading
