Cognate Protein

NLRC4 [nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) family, caspase recruitment domain (CARD) containing 4] is an innate immune receptor, which, upon detection of certain pathogens or internal distress signals, initiates caspase-1–mediated interleukin-1β maturation and an inflammatory response. A gain-of-function mutation, H443P in NLRC4, causes familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS) characterized by cold-induced hyperactivation of caspase-1, enhanced interleukin-1β maturation, and inflammation. Although the H443P mutant shows constitutive activity, the mechanism involved in hyperactivation of caspase-1 by NLRC4-H443P upon exposure of cells to lower temperature is not known. Here, we show that heat shock cognate protein 70 (HSC70) complexes with NLRC4 and negatively regulates caspase-1 activation by NLRC4-H443P in human cells. Compared with NLRC4, the structurally altered NLRC4-H443P shows enhanced interaction with HSC70. Nucleotide binding- and leucine-rich repeat domains of NLRC4, but not its CARD, can engage in complex formation with HSC70. Knockdown of HSC70 enhances apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC)-speck formation and caspase-1 activation by NLRC4-H443P. Exposure to subnormal temperature results in reduced interaction of NLRC4-H443P with HSC70, and an increase in its ability to form ASC specks and activate caspase-1. Unlike the NLRC4-H443P mutant, another constitutively active mutant (NLRC4-V341A) associated with autoinflammatory diseases, but not FCAS, showed neither enhanced interaction with HSC70 nor an increase in inflammasome formation upon exposure to subnormal temperature. Our results identify HSC70 as a negative regulator of caspase-1 activation by the temperature-sensitive NLRC4-H443P mutant. We also show that low-temperature–induced hyperactivation of caspase-1 by NLRC4-H443P is due to loss of inhibition by HSC70.

Cucumber powdery mildew caused by Sphaerotheca fuliginea is a leaf disease that seriously affects cucumber’s yield and quality. This study aimed to report two nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeats (NBS-LRR) genes CsRSF1 and CsRSF2, which participated in regulating the resistance of cucumber to S. fuliginea. The subcellular localization showed that the CsRSF1 protein was localized in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane, while the CsRSF2 protein was localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. In addition, the transcript levels of CsRSF1 and CsRSF2 were different between resistant and susceptible cultivars after treatment with exogenous substances, such as abscisic acid (ABA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA), ethephon (ETH), gibberellin (GA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The expression analysis showed that the transcript levels of CsRSF1 and CsRSF2 were correlated with plant defense response against S. fuliginea. Moreover, the silencing of CsRSF1 and CsRSF2 impaired host resistance to S. fuliginea, but CsRSF1 and CsRSF2 overexpression improved resistance to S. fuliginea in cucumber. These results showed that CsRSF1 and CsRSF2 genes positively contributed to the resistance of cucumber to S. fuliginea. At the same time, CsRSF1 and CsRSF2 genes could also regulate the expression of defense-related genes. The findings of this study might help enhance the resistance of cucumber to S. fuliginea.

The Cre3 gene confers a high level of resistance to the root endoparasitic nematode Heterodera avenae in wheat. A DNA marker cosegregating with H. avenae resistance was used as an entry point for map-based cloning of a disease resistance gene family at the Cre3 locus. Two related gene sequences have been analysed at the Cre3 locus. One, identified as a cDNA clone, encodes a polypeptide with a nucleotide binding site (NBS) and a leucine-rich region; this member of the disease resistance gene family is expressed in roots. A second Cre3 gene sequence, cloned as genomic DNA, appears to be a pseudogene, with a frame shift caused by a deletion event. These two genes, related to members of the cytoplasmic NBS – leucine rich repeat class of plant disease resistance genes were physically mapped to the distal 0.06 fragment of the long arm of wheat chromosome 2D and cosegregated with nematode resistance.Key words: cereal cyst nematode, disease resistance genes, nucleotide-binding site, leucine-rich repeat.
