XopJ3

Author: Doron Teper
Internal reviewer:

Class: XopJ
Family: XopJ3
Prototype: AvrRxv/XCV0471 (Xanthomonas euvesicatoria 85-10)
RefSeq ID: CAJ22102
3D structure: Unknown

Biological function

How discovered?

AvrRxv/XopJ3 of X. euvesicatoria was identified to promote HR in non-host bean plants (Whalen et al. 1988).

(Experimental) evidence for being a T3E

Tn5 insertions in multiple hrp genes in XcvT 75-3 eliminated AvrRxv/XopJ3-mediated HR in tomato line Hawaii 7998 (Ciesiolka et al. 1998). Disruption of the type III secretion system in Xcv race T3 abolished secretion of AvrRxv into culture media (Bonshtien et al. 2004).

Regulation

avrRxv is constitutively expressed in Xanthomonas tomato strain XcvT 92-14 (Ciesiolka et al. 1998). The expression of avrRxv was similar in NYB and XVM2 and was not dependent on hrpG or hrpX (Ciesiolka et al 1998). avrRxv has a perfect PIP-box starting at bp 465 with the sequence TTCGC-N15-TTCGC (Ciesiolka et al 1998).

Phenotypes

AvrRxv induce hypersensitive response in tomato line Hawaii 7998 (Whalen et al. 1993)( Bonshtien et al. 2004), bean (Whalen et al. 1988) and Nicotiana benthamiana (Albers et al. 2019). Inactivation of arvRxv (avrRxv:: Ω ) in XcvT 75-3 eliminated HR induction and promoted growth in tomato line Hawaii 7998 (Whalen et al. 1993). Xcv race T3 (X. perforans) introduced with avrRxv induced resistance response in tomato line Hawaii 7998 which was characterized by HR, reduced bacterial growth in planta and significant alteration in host transcriptional profile (Bonshtien et al. 2004).

Localization

AvrRxv is localized predominantly to the cytoplasm and is possibly associated with the plasma and nuclear membranes (Bonshtien et al. 2004).

Enzymatic function

AvrRxv/XopJ3 belongs to the group of YopJ-family effectors. YopJ-family effectors share a conserved catalytic triad that is identical to that of the C55 family of cysteine proteases (Ma and Ma, 2016). Mutations in the AvrRxv protease catalytic core impaired elicitation of HR and inhibition of bacterial growth in tomato line Hawaii 7998 (Bonshtien et al. 2004).

Interaction partners

AvrRxv interacts with tomato 14-3-3 protein (Whalen et al. 2008).

Conservation

In xanthomonads

YES (X. euvesicatoria, X. hortorum , X. nasturtii, X. axonopodis)

In other plant pathogens/symbionts

YES (Pseudomonas syringae spp. (HopZ-family), Ralstonia solanacearum (PopP1), Acidovorax citrulli, Bradyrhizobium sp., Mesorhizobium sp., Sinorhizobium sp.)
