AbstractPipecolic acid is essential for the establishment of systemic acquired resistance in plants. It is synthesized in the plastid and further processed in the cytosol to its active form N-hydroxy pipecolic acid. Here we provide strong evidence that the exporter Enhanced Disease Susceptibility 5 is required for the biosynthesis of not only salicylic acid, but also N-hydroxy pipecolic acid, suggesting that it represents a convergent point of plant immunity.

SummarySalicylic acid (SA) is an important signaling molecule of the plant immune system.SA biosynthesis is indirectly modulated by the closely related transcription factors TGA1 (TGACG-BINDING FACTOR 1) and TGA4. They activate expression of SARD1 (SYSTEMIC ACQUIRED RESISTANCE DEFICIENT1), the gene product of which regulates the key SA biosynthesis gene ICS1 (ISOCHORISMATE SYNTHASE 1).Since TGA1 interacts with the SA receptor NPR1 (NON EXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 1) in a redox-dependent manner and since the redox state of TGA1 is altered in SA-treated plants, TGA1 was assumed to play a role in the NPR1-dependent signaling cascade. Here we identified 193 out of 2090 SA-induced genes that require TGA1/TGA4 for maximal expression after SA treatment. One robustly TGA1/TGA4-dependent gene encodes for the SA hydroxylase DLO1 (DOWNY MILDEW RESISTANT 6-LIKE OXYGENASE 1) suggesting an additional regulatory role of TGA1/TGA4 in SA catabolism.Expression of TGA1/TGA4-dependent genes in mock/SA-treated or Pseudomonas-infected plants was rescued in the tga1 tga4 double mutant after introduction of a mutant genomic TGA1 fragment encoding a TGA1 protein without any cysteines. Thus, the functional significance of the observed redox modification of TGA1 in SA-treated tissues has remained enigmatic.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPrevious findings demonstrating a redox-dependent interaction between transcription factor TGA1 and NPR1 attracted considerable attention. Here we show that TGA1 can act in the NPR1- and SA-dependent signaling cascade, but that its SA-regulated redox-active cysteines do not affect its function in this process.

Salicylic acid (SA) is an active secondary metabolite that occurs in bacteria, fungi, and plants. SA and its derivatives (collectively called salicylates) are synthesized from chorismate (derived from shikimate pathway). SA is considered an important phytohormone that regulates various aspects of plant growth, environmental stress, and defense responses against pathogens. Besides plants, a large number of bacterial species, such as Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Azospirillum, Salmonella, Achromobacter, Vibrio, Yersinia, and Mycobacteria, have been reported to synthesize salicylates through the NRPS/PKS biosynthetic gene clusters. This bacterial salicylate production is often linked to the biosynthesis of small ferric-ion-chelating molecules, salicyl-derived siderophores (known as catecholate) under iron-limited conditions. Although bacteria possess entirely different biosynthetic pathways from plants, they share one common biosynthetic enzyme, isochorismate synthase, which converts chorismate to isochorismate, a common precursor for synthesizing SA. Additionally, SA in plants and bacteria can undergo several modifications to carry out their specific functions. In this review, we will systematically focus on the plant and bacterial salicylate biosynthesis and its metabolism.
