Title: Mutation of the rice XA21 predicted nuclear localization sequence does not affect resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae

Abstract

Background: The rice receptor kinase XA21 confers robust resistance to the bacterial pathogenXanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae(Xoo). We previously reported that XA21 is cleaved in transgenic plants overexpressing XA21 with a GFP tag (Ubi-XA21-GFP) and that the released C-terminal domain is localized to the nucleus. XA21 carries a predicted nuclear localization sequence (NLS) that directs the C-terminal domain to the nucleus in transient assays, whereas alanine substitutions in the NLS disrupt the nuclear localization. Methods: To determine if the predicted NLS is required for XA21-mediated immunityin planta, we generated transgenic plants overexpressing an XA21 variant carrying the NLS with the same alanine substitutions (Ubi-XA21nls-GFP). Results: Ubi- XA21nls-GFP plants displayed slightly longer lesion lengths, higherXoo bacterial populations after inoculation and lower levels of reactive oxygen species production compared with the Ubi- XA21-GFP control plants. However, the Ubi- XA21nls-GFP plants express lower levels of protein than that observed inUbi- XA21-GFP. Discussion: These results demonstrate that the predicted NLS is not required for XA21-mediated immunity.
