abstract = {MonocotJRLs are Poaceae-specific two-domain proteins that
consist of a jacalin-related lectin (JRL) and a dirigent
(DIR) domain which participate in multiple developmental
processes, including disease resistance. For OsJAC1, a
monocotJRL from rice, it has been confirmed that
constitutive expression in transgenic rice or barley plants
facilitates broad-spectrum disease resistance. In this
process, both domains of OsJAC1 act cooperatively, as
evidenced from experiments with artificially separated JRL-
or DIR-domain-containing proteins. Interestingly, these
chimeric proteins did not evolve in dicotyledonous plants.
Instead, proteins with a single JRL domain, multiple JRL
domains or JRL domains fused to domains other than DIR
domains are present. In this study, we wanted to test if the
cooperative function of JRL and DIR proteins leading to
pathogen resistance was conserved in the dicotyledonous
plant Arabidopsis thaliana. In Arabidopsis, we identified 50
JRL and 24 DIR proteins, respectively, from which seven
single-domain JRL and two single-domain DIR candidates were
selected. A single-cell transient gene expression assay in
barley revealed that specific combinations of the
Arabidopsis JRL and DIR candidates reduced the penetration
success of barley powdery mildew. Strikingly, one of these
pairs, AtJAX1 and AtDIR19, is encoded by genes located next
to each other on chromosome one. However, when using natural
variation and analyzing Arabidopsis ecotypes that express
full-length or truncated versions of AtJAX1, the
presence/absence of the full-length AtJAX1 protein could not
be correlated with resistance to the powdery mildew fungus
Golovinomyces orontii. Furthermore, an analysis of the
additional JRL and DIR candidates in a bi-fluorescence
complementation assay in Nicotiana benthamiana revealed no
direct interaction of these JRL/DIR pairs. Since transgenic
Arabidopsis plants expressing OsJAC1-GFP also did not show
increased resistance to G. orontii, it was concluded that
the resistance mediated by the synergistic activities of DIR
and JRL proteins is specific for members of the Poaceae, at
least regarding the resistance against powdery mildew.
Arabidopsis lacks the essential components of the
DIR-JRL-dependent resistance pathway.},
