Several molecular attributes of NPR1 are described, including the recent finding that NPR1 function is under tight redox control at multiple levels.

Sun1-1 mutant plants exhibit loss of resistance conditioned by several TIR-NB-LRR proteins and basal resistance to virulent pathogens, suggesting that all attributes known for Arabidopsis EDS1 are conserved in this solanaceous species. An interesting finding is that resistance to Verticillium fungal infection mediated by the receptor-like proteins Ve1 and Ve2 also depends on EDS1. This connects, for the first time, EDS1 activity with membrane-associated recognition proteins.

18. • ] highlight the existence of Arabidopsis R genes which are not of the TIR-NB-LRR class that rely on EDS1 for the expression of resistance. RPW8.1 and RPW8.2 are small CC-domain proteins that are probably membrane-associated and that trigger powdery mildew resistance. HRT is a member of the RPP8 cluster of CC-NB-LRR genes and controls resistance to turnip crinkle virus. A common underlying feature of the HRT and RPW8 conditioned responses, which might link them to EDS1 and PAD4 (see also [6]), is a requirement for defense signal amplification through an SA-dependent feedback loop that enhances the expression of both R genes. A surprising feature of the HRT study is that PAD4 but not EDS1 is required to restore resistance after application of SA. This suggests that the EDS1 and PAD4 functions are uncoupled, although the possible influence of different accession backgrounds in HRT-mutant combinations would need to be tested to explore this further.

21. 2+- dependent manner in vitro. The authors of this paper describe a further significant finding that the bon1 mutant phenotype of retarded growth at 22°C depends on the presence of the TIR-NB-LRR gene SNC1, which conditions Peronospora resistance. Thus, BON1 negatively regulates SNC1 and is a potential virulence target in Peronospora infection that might be 'guarded' by SNC1. It is interesting that the transcriptional upregulation of SNC1 in the bon1 mutant through an EDS1/PAD4- and SA-dependent amplification loop is subject to temperature control (see also [29]). At 28°C, SNC1, EDS1 and PAD4 transcript levels are dramatically reduced, thereby attenuating the growth defects and enhanced resistance of bon1 at high temperature.

Karpinski LESION SIMULATING DISEASE 1 is required for acclimation to conditions that promote excess excitation energy Plant Physiol 136 2004 2818 2830 The authors describe their revealing study of Arabidopsis lsd1, a mutant that fails to limit cell death in response to multiple stress stimuli, including the provision of ROI. Their results provide an important link between LSD1 activity and acclimation to excess excitation energy (EEE), which is derived mostly from Photosystem II and which leads to photooxidative stress overload. All of the lsd1 defects, including reduced stomatal conductance and reduced peroxisomal catalase activity under low-light conditions that normally do not induce lesions, required EDS1 and PAD4. The data, combined with those from an earlier study [14], point to a central function of EDS1 and PAD4 in transducing ROI-derived signals in stress-signal relays (see also Figure 1).

Li A putative nucleoporin 96 is required for both basal defense and constitutive resistance responses mediated by suppressor of npr1-1, constitutive 1 Plant Cell 17 2005 1306 1316 The authors report the discovery of MOS3 (for MODIFIER OF snc1,3), which encodes a putative nucleoporin 96, as an essential component of both basal resistance and constitutive resistance that is triggered by an activated form of SNC1 (see also [20]). Basal resistance and snc1 signaling also depend on EDS1 and PAD4, which have been found to localize to the cytosol and the nucleus (B Feys, M Wiermer and J Parker, unpublished). Together, these findings suggest that nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking is important for expression of basal defense and resistance triggered by TIR-type NB-LRR genes.

36. • ]). The incidence of epidermal cell death was reduced and some secondary fungal hyphal growth observed in eds1 and pad4 mutants or after pharmacological interference with the actin cytoskeleton. The additive effects of disabling EDS1 signaling and cytoskeletal function lead the authors to conclude that these cellular processes contribute incrementally to non-host resistance to powdery mildew.
37. • ]). Interestingly, comparative analysis of global Arabidopsis gene-expression profiles after inoculation with Bgh, a virulent powdery mildew isolate, or treatment with methyl JA, point to virulence capabilities of the host-adapted pathogen that might suppress the induction of the JA/ET signaling pathway as one means of overcoming non-host resistance.

42. A. Nandi, R. Welti, and J. Shah The Arabidopsis thaliana dihydroxyacetone phosphate reductase gene SUPPRESSSOR OF FATTY ACID DESATURASE DEFICIENCY1 is required for glycerolipid metabolism and for the activation of systemic acquired resistance Plant Cell 16 2004 465 477 The authors show that SFD1 contributes to the establishment of systemic resistance. SFD1 encodes a protein that is involved in glycerolipid metabolism, adding to a growing body of evidence for the involvement of lipid signaling in systemic resistance (see [41] for an up-to-date review). Like the dir1 mutant, which has a defective putative lipid-transfer protein [43], sfd1 plants exhibit normal local resistance responses to virulent and avirulent pathogens.

Significantly, the authors show that SABP2 enzyme activity was stimulated by SA binding and that SABP2 is required for the full expression of both local and systemic resistance.

Pichersky Structural and biochemical studies identify tobacco SABP2 as a methyl salicylate esterase and implicate it in plant innate immunity Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102 2005 1773 1778 The authors introduce an exciting new dimension to the study of plant defense regulators by analyzing the crystal structure of SABP2 alone and in complex with SA. They show that SABP2 uses methyl-salicylate as a substrate and that SA acts as a potent product inhibitor. The kinetics of SABP2 offer a potential mechanism for the fine-tuning of SA-dependent resistance responses.
