Abstrakt: | FB_MR5 is a nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat protein identified from wild apple species Malus × robusta 5 conferring disease resistance to bacterial fire blight. FB_MR5 (hereafter MrMR5) recognizes the cysteine protease effector EaAvrRpt2 secreted from the causal agent of bacterial fire blight, Erwinia amylovora. We previously reported that MrMR5 is activated by the C-terminal cleavage product (ACP3) of Malus domestica RIN4 (MdRIN4) produced by EaAvrRpt2-directed proteolysis. We show that MbMR5 from a wild apple species Malus baccata shares 99.4% amino acid sequence identity with MrMR5. Surprisingly, transient expression of MbMR5 in Nicotiana benthamiana showed autoactivity in contrast to MrMR5. Domain swap and mutational analyses revealed that 1 amino acid polymorphism in the MbMR5 CC domain is critical in enhancing autoactivity. We further demonstrated that MrMR5 carrying 7 amino acid polymorphisms present in MbMR5 is not activated by MdRIN4 ACP3 but recognizes AvrRpt2 without MdRIN4 in N. benthamiana. Our findings indicate that naturally occurring polymorphisms of MR5 natural variants can confer its cell death-inducing activity and the effector recognition mechanism likely due to altered compatibility with RIN4.
