The Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7 chimera expands binding and response to previously unrecognized AVR-Pik effector variants.

(A) Representative leaf image showing the Pikp-1OsHIPP19 chimera is autoactive in N. benthamiana in a Pikp-2 dependent manner. Nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-mediated responses appear as autofluorescence imaged under UV light. Pikp-mediated response to AVR-PikD (positive control, top left), Pikp-1OsHIPP19/Pikp-2 without effector shows autoactivity (top right), Pikp-1OsHIPP19/Pikp-2 response remains in the presence of AVR-PikD (middle right). Other leaf positions represent relevant negative controls. (B) Pikp-mediated response scoring represented as dot plots to summarize 30 repeats of the experiment shown in (A) across three independent experiments (Materials and methods, Figure 1—figure supplement 4a). Fluorescence intensity is scored as previously described (Maqbool et al., 2015; De la Concepcion et al., 2018). (C) The Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7 chimera does not display autoactive cell death in N. benthamiana (bottom right), as seen for Pikp-1OsHIPP19 (middle left), but retains response to AVR-PikD and expands Pikp-mediated response to AVR-PikC (middle right). (D) Pikp-mediated response scoring represented as dot plots to summarize 60 repeats of the experiment shown in (C) across three independent experiments (Materials and methods, Figure 1—figure supplement 4b). (E) As for (C), but showing the expanded Pikp-mediated response to AVR-PikF. (F) As for (D) but for 60 repeats of the experiment in (E) across three independent experiments (Materials and methods, Figure 1—figure supplement 4c). (G) Western blots following co-immunoprecipitation reveal that the Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7 chimera associates with all AVR-Pik effector variants in N. benthamiana. Plant cell lysates were probed for the expression of Pikp-1/Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7 and AVR-Pik effector variants using anti-FLAG and anti-Myc antiserum, respectively. Total protein extracts were visualized by Ponceau Staining.

Statistical analysis by estimation methods of the cell death assays presented in Figure 1, for Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2 with (A) AVR-PikD, AVR-PikC and empty vector, and (B) AVR-PikD, AVR-PikF, and empty vector.

The panel on the left represents the ranked data (dots) for the three replicates of each effector/control, and their corresponding mean (dotted line). The size of the dots is proportional to the number of observations with that specific value. The panel on the right shows the distribution of 1000 bootstrap sample rank means for Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2/AVR-PikD and Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2/AVR-PikC (A) or Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2 (B). The red areas represent the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the distribution. The response of Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2 to AVR-PikD, AVR-PikC, and AVR-PikF is considered significantly different to the response of Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2 to the empty vector as the rank means of the latter (dotted line, left panel) falls beyond the red regions of the Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2/AVR-PikD, Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2/AVR-PikC, and Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7/Pikp-2/AVR- mean distributions.

(A) Representative leaf image showing the Pikp-1OsHIPP19-mbl7 chimera is not autoactive and triggers Pikp-2-dependent cell death in response to AVR-PikE and AVR-PikA. By contrast, Pikp-1 only triggers cell death in response to AVR-PikD, and not AVR-PikE nor AVR-PikA. NLR-mediated responses appear as autofluorescence imaged under UV light. (B) Pikp-mediated response scoring represented as dot plots to summarize 29 repeats of the experiment shown in (A) across three independent experiments (Materials and Methods, Figure 1—figure supplement 11). Fluorescence intensity is scored as stated in Figure 1.

Structure-guided mutagenesis of Pikp-1 expands response to previously unrecognized AVR-Pik effector variants.

(A) Comparison of the crystal structures of AVR-Pik effector variants in complex with Pik-HMA domains (PDB entries 6G10, 6FU9, and 7A8X) and AVR-PikF in complex OsHIPP19 (PDB entry 7B1I) suggests the addition of an S258E mutation to the NK-KE mutations described previously (De la Concepcion et al., 2019) could introduce new contacts across the protein:protein interface. Protein structures are represented as ribbons with relevant side chains displayed as cylinders. Dashed lines indicate hydrogen bonds. Relevant water molecules are represented as red spheres. (B) The PikpSNK-EKE mutant gains response to AVR-PikC (right, middle) where no response is observed for PikpNK-KE (left, middle). Further, the PikpSNK-EKE mutant is not autoactive (right, bottom) and retains response to AVR-PikD (right, top). All infiltration spots contain Pikp-2. (C) Pikp-mediated response scoring represented as dot plots to summarize 60 repeats of the experiment shown in (B) across three independent experiments (Materials and methods, Figure 2—figure supplement 3a). (D) and (E) as described for (B) and (C) but with AVR-PikF and 57 repeats across three independent experiments (Materials and methods, Figure 2—figure supplement 3b).

Statistical analysis by estimation methods of the cell death assays presented in Figure 2, for Pikp-1NK-KE/Pikp-2 and Pikp-1SNK-EKE/Pikp-2 with (A) AVR-PikC and (B) AVR-PikF.

The panel on the left represents the ranked data (dots) for the three replicates of each receptor/effector, and their corresponding mean (dotted line). The size of the dots is proportional to the number of observations with that specific value. The panel on the right shows the distribution of 1000 bootstrap sample rank means for Pikp-1SNK-EKE/Pikp-2/AVR-PikC (A) or Pikp-1SNK-EKE/Pikp-2/AVR-PikF (B). The red areas represent the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the distribution. The response of Pikp-1SNK-EKE/Pikp-2 to AVR- AVR-PikC/AVR-PikF is considered significantly different to the response of Pikp-1NK-KE/Pikp-2 to AVR-PikC/AVR-PikF as the rank means of the latter (dotted line, left panel) falls beyond the red regions of the Pikp-1NK-KE/Pikp-2/AVR-PikC and Pikp-1NK-KE/Pikp-2/AVR-PikF mean distributions.
