ABSTRACT Ralstonia solanacearum GMI1000 is a gram-negative plant pathogen which contains an hrp gene cluster which codes for a type III protein secretion system (TTSS). We identified two novel Hrp-secreted proteins, called PopF1 and PopF2, which display similarity to one another and to putative TTSS translocators, HrpF and NopX, from Xanthomonas spp. and rhizobia, respectively. They also show similarities with TTSS translocators of the YopB family from animal-pathogenic bacteria. Both popF1 and popF2 belong to the HrpB regulon and are required for the interaction with plants, but PopF1 seems to play a more important role in virulence and hypersensitive response (HR) elicitation than PopF2 under our experimental conditions. PopF1 and PopF2 are not necessary for the secretion of effector proteins, but they are required for the translocation of AvrA avirulence protein into tobacco cells. We conclude that PopF1 and PopF2 are type III translocators belonging to the HrpF/NopX family. The hrpF gene of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris partially restored HR-inducing ability to popF1 popF2 mutants of R. solanacearum, suggesting that translocators of R. solanacearum and Xanthomonas are functionally conserved. Finally, R. solanacearum strain UW551, which does not belong to the same phylotype as GMI1000, also possesses two putative translocator proteins. However, although one of these proteins is clearly related to PopF1 and PopF2, the other seems to be different and related to NopX proteins, thus showing that translocators might be variable in R. solanacearum.

ABSTRACT Expression of the type III protein secretion system (TTSS), encoded in the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), has been shown to be controlled by various regulators. In a search for additional regulatory genes, we identified a DNA fragment containing clpX and clpP that has a positive regulatory effect on LEE expression in EHEC O157. The expression of LEE-encoded Esp proteins was significantly reduced in a clpXP deletion mutant. Deletion of grlR, a negative regulatory gene within LEE, markedly increased LEE expression even in the clpXP mutant. To verify the regulatory mechanism of GrlR expression, a chromosomal epitope-tagged allele of grlR (grlR-FLAG) was constructed. GrlR-FLAG expression was increased significantly in the clpXP deletion mutant, suggesting that the GrlR level is under the control of ClpXP, and this regulation is critical for the ClpXP-dependent expression of LEE in EHEC. Deletion of rpoS, the gene encoding a stationary-phase-inducing sigma factor that is a substrate for ClpXP protease, partially restored LEE expression in the clpXP mutant. A multicopy plasmid carrying rpoS strongly repressed expression of Esp proteins, suggesting that positive regulation by ClpXP is partially mediated through a negative effect of RpoS on LEE expression. We also found that rpoS deletion induces transcription of pchA, which encodes one of the positive regulators for LEE expression in EHEC. These results suggest that ClpXP controls expression of LEE through the regulation of RpoS and GrlR levels in EHEC.
