2013年10月3日劉玉樂教授研究組在PLoS Pathogens上在線發(fā)表了題為“Type I J-domain NbMIP1 proteins are required for both Tobacco Mosaic Virus infection and plant innate immunity”的研究論文,,報道發(fā)現(xiàn)J結(jié)構(gòu)域蛋白MIP1不僅對植物病毒侵染是必需的,而且對多種植物抗病途徑也是必需的,,是目前發(fā)現(xiàn)的最重要的植物抗病信號分子之一,。
番茄花葉病毒(ToMV)和煙草花葉病毒(TMV)可在番茄等重要經(jīng)濟作物上引起嚴(yán)重病害。Tm-22是CC-NBS-LRR類的抗性蛋白,,它通過識別ToMV以及TMV的運動蛋白(MP)誘導(dǎo)植物產(chǎn)生抗病反應(yīng),。目前對Tm-22介導(dǎo)植物抗病反應(yīng)的機制了解很少。
該工作鑒定了既與ToMV MP相互作用,,又與Tm-22相互作用的一組Ⅰ型J蛋白MIP1,。 沉默MIP1降低TMV的細(xì)胞間運動和系統(tǒng)運動;令人驚訝的是:沉默MIP1也導(dǎo)致Tm-22介導(dǎo)的病毒抗性的喪失,。這些結(jié)果表明MIP1不僅對病毒侵染是必需的,,而且對Tm-22介導(dǎo)的植物抗病毒也是必需的。進(jìn)一步發(fā)現(xiàn):MIP1對N基因介導(dǎo)的植物病毒抗性,,Pto介導(dǎo)的基因介導(dǎo)的植物細(xì)菌抗性,,Cf9基因介導(dǎo)的植物真菌抗性和非寄主病原Pst DC3000誘導(dǎo)的非寄主抗性也是必需的。該工作還發(fā)現(xiàn),,沉默NbMIP1能夠?qū)е耇oMV MP和Tm-22蛋白水平的顯著降低,,但不影響它們的轉(zhuǎn)錄。此外,,還發(fā)現(xiàn)植物抗性信號分子SGT1也與MIP1互作并參與Tm-22介導(dǎo)的抗病反應(yīng),。這些研究表明:MIP1可能與SGT1一起作為輔助伴侶分子(co-chaperone)通過幫助病毒蛋白和植物抗病蛋白的正確折疊和成熟而參與病毒侵染和植物抗病反應(yīng)。

Tm-22 is a coiled coil-nucleotide binding-leucine rich repeat resistance protein that confers durable extreme resistance against Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) and Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) by recognizing the viral movement protein (MP). Here we report that the Nicotiana benthamiana J-domain MIP1 proteins (NbMIP1s) associate with tobamovirus MP,, Tm-22 and SGT1. Silencing of NbMIP1s reduced TMV movement and compromised Tm-22-mediated resistance against TMV and ToMV. Furthermore, silencing of NbMIP1s reduced the steady-state protein levels of ToMV MP and Tm-22. Moreover,, NbMIP1s are required for plant resistance induced by other R genes and the nonhost pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000. In addition,, we found that SGT1 associates with Tm-22 and is required for Tm-22-mediated resistance against TMV. These results suggest that NbMIP1s function as co-chaperones during virus infection and plant immunity.
