NLR surveillance of essential SEC-9 SNARE proteins induces programmed cell death upon allorecognition in filamentous fungi
Abstract
In plants and metazoans, intracellular receptors that belong to the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family are major contributors to innate immunity. Filamentous fungal genomes contain large repertoires of genes encoding for proteins with similar architecture to plant and animal NLRs with mostly unknown function. We identify and molecularly characterize patatin-like phospholipase-1 (PLP-1), an NLR-like protein containing an N-terminal patatin-like phospholipase domain, a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD), and a C-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain. PLP-1 guards the essential SNARE protein SEC-9; genetic differences at plp-1 and sec-9 function to trigger allorecognition and cell death in two distantly related fungal species, Neurospora crassa and Podospora anserina. Analyses of Neurospora population samples revealed that plp-1 and sec-9 alleles are highly polymorphic, segregate into discrete haplotypes, and show transspecies polymorphism. Upon fusion between cells bearing incompatible sec-9 and plp-1 alleles, allorecognition and cell death are induced, which are dependent upon physical interaction between SEC-9 and PLP-1. The central NBD and patatin-like phospholipase activity of PLP-1 are essential for allorecognition and cell death, while the TPR domain and the polymorphic SNARE domain of SEC-9 function in conferring allelic specificity. Our data indicate that fungal NLR-like proteins function similar to NLR immune receptors in plants and animals, showingmore »
