Clavibacter bacteria use secreted apoplastic effectors, such as putative serine proteases, for virulence in host plants and for hypersensitive response (HR) induction in nonhost plants. Previously, we have shown that Clavibacter capsici ChpG Cc is important for the necrosis development in pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) leaves. Here, we determine the function of ChpG Cc , along with three paralogous proteins, for HR induction in the apoplastic space of a nonhost plant, Nicotiana tabacum . The full-length and signal peptide-deleted (ΔSP) mature forms of all proteins fused with the tobacco PR1b signal sequence were generated. The full-length and ΔSP forms of ChpG Cc and only the ΔSP forms of ChpE Cc and Pat-1 Cc , but none of the ChpC Cc , triggered HR. Based on the predicted protein structures, ChpG Cc carries amino acids for a catalytic triad and a disulfide bridge in positions like Pat-1 Cm . Substituting these amino acids of ChpG Cc with alanine abolished or reduced HR-inducing activity. To determine whether these residues are important for necrosis development in pepper, alanine-substituted chpG Cc genes were transformed into the C . capsici PF008ΔpCM1 strain, which lacks the intact chpG Cc gene. The strain with any variants failed to restore the necrosis-causing ability. These results suggest that ChpG Cc has a dual function as a virulence factor in host plants and an HR elicitor in nonhost plants. Based on our findings and previous results, we propose Clavibacter apoplastic effectors, such as ChpG Cc , Pat-1 Cm , Chp-7 Cs , and ChpG Cm , as hypersensitive response and virulence (Hrv) proteins that display phenotypic similarities to the hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (Hrp) proteins found in gram-negative bacteria.
