Silencing of this gene results in a loss of local resistance as well as a loss of SAR. The authors propose that this lipase (SABP2) is an SA receptor that is required for the plant immune response.
29. Z. Mou, W. Fan, and X. Dong Inducers of plant systemic acquired resistance regulate NPR1 function through redox changes Cell 113 2003 935 944 The authors demonstrate that SA activates the NPR1 protein through cellular redox changes. In the resting state, NPR1 forms an oligomer through intermolecular disulfide bonds. SAR induction results in a biphasic redox change that causes some NPR1 oligomers to be reduced to monomers. Nuclear fractionation and site-directed mutagenesis shows that reduction of NPR1 from oligomer to monomer is necessary and sufficient for its nuclear localization and regulation of PR genes.

Two cysteines, Cys-260 and Cys-266, are involved in this regulation. In the resting state, these cysteines form an intramolecular disulfide bond. SA induction causes reduction of this disulfide bond, allowing the factors to bind to NPR1 to activate PR gene expression.

In WRKY70-overexpressing plants, PR genes are constitutively activated in an SA- and NPR1-independent fashion, whereas JA-regulated genes are repressed in an NPR1-dependent manner. In the WRKY70 antisense line, PR gene induction is diminished. Therefore, WRKY70 is likely to be involved in mediating SA-JA crosstalk.

Studies of the Arabidopsis ortholog of this transcription factor showed that AtWhy1 binds to DNA in an SA-dependent but NPR1-independent fashion. Mutations in the AtWhy1 gene compromised SA-mediated PR gene expression and resistance.

Katagiri Topology of the network integrating salicylate and jasmonate signal transduction derived from global expression phenotyping Plant J 34 2003 217 228 In the work described in this paper, a large collection of defense-related mutants were put into three groups using a microarray-based 'global expression phenotyping' method. The first group affects only SA-mediated genes, the second group affects a much larger set of genes that require JA and ethylene signaling in addition to SA, and the third group affects only the JA- and ethylene-mediated genes. This work provides a novel way of modeling the defense network and allows the placement of previously uncharacterized mutants in the network.
