Arabidopsis PP2-A5, a TIR-Lectin Two-Domain Protein, Confers Defense Properties against Tetranychus urticae

Listed in NCBI GEO

In this work, we identified a gene induced in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) upon spider mite attack that encodes a two-domain protein containing predicted lectin and Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor domains.

Description

The gene, previously named PP2-A5, belongs to the Phloem Protein2 family. Biotic assays showed that PP2-A5 confers tolerance to T. urticae.

Overexpression or knockout of PP2-A5 leads to transcriptional reprogramming that alters the balance of hormone accumulation and corresponding signaling pathways. The nucleocytoplasmic location of this protein supports a direct interaction with regulators of gene transcription, suggesting that the combination of two putative signaling domains in a single protein may provide a novel mechanism for regulating gene expression.

Together, our results suggest that PP2-A5 improves the ability to defend against T. urticae by participating in the tight regulation of hormonal cross talk upon mite feeding.
