HopW1 from Disrupts the Actin Cytoskeleton to Promote Virulence in Arabidopsis
Eukaryotic cells require a dynamic actin cytoskeleton for basic functions, some of which are important for immune responses. Such functions include the transport of cellular material to and from different cellular compartments. The plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is extracellular and causes disease by injecting effector proteins into plant cells. One of these effectors is HopW1, which disrupts the actin cytoskeleton and reduces the transport of vesicles from the cell surface and proteins destined for vacuoles. The effects of HopW1 can be mimicked using a drug that inhibits actin polymerization. Thus, this work establishes a direct mechanism for pathogen disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and implicates actin-dependent events as important for controlling pathogen growth during infection.

Summary
Eukaryotic cells require a dynamic actin cytoskeleton for basic functions, some of which are important for immune responses. Such functions include the transport of cellular material to and from different cellular compartments. The plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is extracellular and causes disease by injecting effector proteins into plant cells. One of these effectors is HopW1, which disrupts the actin cytoskeleton and reduces the transport of vesicles from the cell surface and proteins destined for vacuoles. The effects of HopW1 can be mimicked using a drug that inhibits actin polymerization. Thus, this work establishes a direct mechanism for pathogen disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and implicates actin-dependent events as important for controlling pathogen growth during infection.
Introduction
Plants that are infected with foliar bacterial pathogens can mount a multilayered response, the success of which is shaped by the perception of pathogen-derived molecules and the ability of the pathogen to disrupt host responses. Essential for understanding dynamic host-pathogen interactions is the identification of critical components of the host defense machinery and the biochemical mechanism by which bacterial factors interfere with host functions. At least two types of molecules from plant pathogenic bacteria can trigger defenses: conserved patterns (pathogen-associated molecular patterns, PAMPs) that bind to cell surface pattern receptors and more variable effectors that are injected by bacteria into the plants [1]. The perception by plants of some bacterial effectors occurs through the deployment of intracellular immune complexes [1]. A major consequence of bacterial effector activities is to promote virulence, which can occur when plants lack immune receptors for particular effectors. Some of the best-studied effectors are those that form the set of proteins introduced into plants through a type three secretion system (TTSS) [2].
Pseudomonas syringae is an extracellular pathogen that causes several types of foliar disease in agriculturally important plant species [3]. In the model plants Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana benthamiana, pattern receptors and hormonal signals contribute quantitatively to defense against virulent P. syringae [1], [4], [5]. However, some P. syringae effectors can inhibit the action of receptors, accumulation and/or action of hormone/defense signals and other processes important for quantitative defense activation [6], [7], [8].
An emerging area of research has focused on cytoskeleton components as specific virulence targets of P. syringae. At least one effector, HopZ1a, acetylates tubulin in vitro and causes microtubule disruption in planta [9]. Treatment of plants with cytochalasins, compounds that prevent actin polymerization, increases the ability of several fungal pathogens to penetrate plant tissue [10], [11]. Infection of Arabidopsis with P. syringae or treatment with PAMPs induces dynamic changes in actin filament density and bundling [12], [13]. Application of a drug that depolymerizes filamentous actin (F-actin) causes increased growth of P. syringae in planta [12]. These observations raise the possibility that specific effectors target the actin cytoskeleton to disrupt actin-dependent immune responses. In plants, the actin cytoskeleton is important for various cell biological processes [14] that may be important for immune signaling, including endocytosis and the trafficking of some vacuolar proteins [15]. While specific P. syringae effectors that target actin have not yet been reported, injected virulence factors from several mammalian pathogens have been shown to directly interact with actin or modify cellular components that regulate actin [16], [17], [18].
Nearly a decade of research on effectors has uncovered several examples of P. syringae TTSS effectors that can interact with multiple host proteins. Whereas some interactions trigger immunity, others promote virulence [8], [19]. The HopW1 gene, which resides on a multicopy plasmid in P. syringae pv. maculicola strain ES4326 [20], is an example of an effector that, when expressed in P. syringae pv. tomato, triggers strong immunity in the Arabidopsis Ws accession and N. benthamiana, but promotes virulence in the Arabidopsis Col accession [21]. HopW1 harbors an N-terminal domain that is also found in the N-terminal region of HopAE and a C-terminal domain found in a predicted effector from pathogenic E. coli [22], both of unknown functions. The C-terminal domain of HopW1 is critical for triggering defenses and interacting with three HopW1-interacting proteins (WIN1, WIN2 and WIN3) [21].
In the present study, we focus on a virulence function of HopW1. Here, we identified actin as a major component of HopW1-containing complexes purified from plants. We show that F-actin is a major virulence target of HopW1 that in vitro disrupts actin filaments and in planta disrupts the actin cytoskeleton and interferes with actin-dependent cell biological processes important for plant immunity.
Results
Actin Co-purifies with HopW1
To find components of HopW1-containing complexes, we used LC-MS/MS to identify proteins that co-purified with HopW1-HA that was transiently expressed in N. benthamiana. Thirteen unique peptides derived from actin (covering 47% of protein) were identified from a co-precipitating band of 43 kDa that was absent in the control immunoprecipitation (IP). We confirmed that HopW1 and actin formed a complex using IP and immunoblotting of extracts from N. benthamiana and Arabidopsis that transiently expressed HopW1-HA (Figure 1). HopW1 does not have any know actin binding motifs or sequences that could help predict its activity. However, the high amount of actin in HopW1 complexes prompted us to investigate HopW1 influence on the actin cytoskeleton.
HopW1 Disrupts Actin Filaments during Infection
In eukaryotic cells, actin exists as both dynamic filaments (F-actin) and as a large pool of unpolymerized actin [23]. We used Arabidopsis Col expressing Lifeact-GFP (green fluorescent protein) that binds F-actin [24], [25], [26] to visualize the actin cytoskeleton (Figure 2A). We imaged F-actin by confocal microscopy in Col/Lifeact-GFP seedlings infected with PtoDC3000 containing HopW1 (PtoDC3000/HopW1) or a vector control (pME6012). We used ectopic expression in a heterologous Pto strain that does not a contain a HopW1 homologue, since we were not able to delete HopW1 from its native strain PmaES4326, where HopW1 resides on a large multicopy plasmid [20], [21]. Ectopic HopW1 expressed in PtoDC3000 is functional: it confers increased pathogen virulence in Arabidopsis Col and reduced virulence in Ws, where HopW1 strongly triggers defenses [21]. Actin filament density was quantified as the percentage of Lifeact-GFP signal occupancy (or density) in confocal micrographs, as described in [12], [25]. We observed a trend of a transient increase of F-actin density in cotyledons at 6 h after PtoDC3000/vector infection and a later decrease at 48 h compared with a mock treatment (Figure 2B), similar to a previous report [12]. PtoDC3000/HopW1 infection or treatment with an inhibitor of actin polymerization, latrunculin B (LatB) caused a decrease in F-actin already after 6 h that persisted also at later time (24 and 48 hpi). The actin cytoskeleton was significantly more disrupted during infection with PtoDC3000/HopW1 than PtoDC3000/vector at 6 and 24 h (Figure 2B). Thus, HopW1 causes an early disruption of the actin cytoskeleton during infection.
The Virulence Effect of HopW1 Is Phenocopied by Latrunculin B
If the actin cytoskeleton is a major target of HopW1, a prediction is that pharmacological disruption of the actin cytoskeleton should phenocopy the virulence effect of HopW1. Indeed, LatB treatment increased the growth of PtoDC000 on Arabidopsis [12], an effect we also observed (Figure 2C). LatB had the same magnitude of effect as HopW1 to increase PtoDC3000 growth on Col Arabidopsis (Figure 2C). PtoDC3000/HopW1 grew slightly more than PtoDC3000/vector in LatB-treated plants. However, the additive effect was very small and might not be biologically meaningful. The results show that the net effects of HopW1 and LatB are similar, consistent with disruption of actin being responsible for increased pathogen growth.
HopW1 Alone Disrupts the Actin Cytoskeleton in Plant Cells
We directly expressed HopW1 in plant cells to see if it is sufficient to affect the actin cytoskeleton. When transiently co-expressed in N. benthamiana with Lifeact-GFP, HopW1-RFP (red fluorescent protein) disrupted F-actin to such a degree that HopW1 was only detected in cells with very little Lifeact-GFP 36–40 h after Agroinfiltration (Figure 3A). This pattern was seen in all cells with detectable HopW1. At earlier times (16–24 h after Agroinfiltration), no fluorescent protein signals were detected. Plant cells in which the actin cytoskeleton was labeled with Lifeact-GFP lacked detectable HopW1-RFP signals. In contrast, dense F-actin was present in cells with control mCherry (Figure 3A). When detectable, HopW1-RFP accumulated in patches at the periphery of cells (Figure 3A). Similar patterns were observed when HopW1-RFP was transformed alone into N. benthamiana leaves without Lifeact-GFP (not shown).
Localization of HopW1 in patches may result from disorganization of the actin cytoskeleton at the time when we can detect HopW1. During the infection of Arabidopsis with PtoDC3000/HopW1 or LatB treatment, most Lifeact-GFP marked filaments also disappeared from the cell interiors and the signal remained at the periphery (Figure 3A). Similarly, in protoplasts from Arabidopsis Lifeact-GFP plants transiently expressing HopW1-CFP (cyan fluorescent protein), the F-actin cytoskeleton was absent 15 h after transformation and HopW1-CFP was found in patches mostly along cell border (Figure 3B). Only protoplasts with undetectable HopW1-CFP signal had an intact actin cytoskeleton (not shown). These data show that HopW1 is sufficient to disrupt actin filaments in plant cells.
HopW1-C Disrupts F-actin In Vitro
To test whether the effect of HopW1 on the actin cytoskeleton observed in planta is direct, we assayed the activity of recombinant HopW1 on actin filaments in vitro. To evaluate the ratio of soluble to F-actin, we performed sedimentation assays after 30 min. incubation of pre-assembled F-actin with recombinant His-HopW1-C (HopW1407–774) [27]. We used a truncated version of HopW1 because full-length protein was insoluble. We validated that actin co-purified from plants with full length and the C-terminal domain, but not with N-terminal domain, although HopW1-C accumulated in planta at much lower level than other variants (Figure S1). HopW1-C, but not E. coli extract or BSA, increased the amount of actin in the supernatant and simultaneously decreased actin in the pellet (Figure 4A), indicating a dose-dependent ability of HopW1-C to solubilize F-actin (Figure 4B).
Sedimentation assays were corroborated by visualizing changes in the distribution of actin filament lengths after 1 h incubation with a range of HopW1-C concentrations. There was a clear and statistically significant shift to smaller filament lengths as a function of the amount of HopW1-C added to preassembled F-actin (Figure 4C and 4D). These assays employed non-muscle actin. We did not detect disruption of muscle F-actin by HopW1-C (Figure S2). Thus, HopW1-C can directly disrupt non-muscle F-actin in vitro.
HopW1 Disrupts Actin-Dependent Protein Targeting
Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton may lead to disruption of intracellular trafficking that is essential for plant immunity [13], [28], [29], [30]. As a first test of this possibility, we assessed HopW1's effect on the trafficking of marker proteins. A functional actin cytoskeleton is needed for the trafficking of sporamin-GFP (SPO-GFP) and Arabidopsis aleurin-like protein-GFP (AALP-GFP) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and/or vacuole [14] (ER localization of SPO-GFP occurs prior to its transport to the vacuole [14]). In the absence of HopW1, both reporter proteins individually transfected to Col protoplasts showed patterns consistent with ER and/or vacuole localization (Figure 5A, upper panels), as previously shown [14]. In contrast, in transgenic Arabidopsis protoplasts expressing dex-induced HopW1, the normal patterns of SPO-GFP and AALP-GFP signals were disrupted at 12, 24 and 48 h post transformation and HopW1-dependent punctate patterns appeared (Figure 5A, bottom panels). Control treatment with LatB to disrupt the actin cytoskeleton also caused similar punctate GFP patterns (Figure S3A), as previously reported [14]. Quantitation of the GFP patterns showed that HopW1 (and LatB) significantly disrupted the normal localization patterns of AALP-GFP and SPO-GFP, respectively (Figure 5B and S3B). Therefore, HopW1 prevents normal localization of proteins whose targeting depends on actin in a similar way as a drug that disrupts the actin cytoskeleton.
HopW1 Disrupts Endocytosis
A functional actin cytoskeleton is also critical for endocytosis and trafficking of vesicles [23]. We used the lipophilic dye FM4-64 to monitor endocytic trafficking [31] in Arabidopsis protoplasts. Over time (0.5 to 2 h after dye application), increased numbers of endocytic vesicles were stained with FM4-64 in wild-type protoplasts. In contrast, FM4-64 failed to label vesicles in protoplasts from transgenic Arabidopsis expressing dex-inducible HopW1 (Figure 6A and 6B). Endosomes labeled by FM4-64 were also significantly reduced in the LatB-treated versus control protoplasts (Figure 6B). Thus, HopW1 affects actin-dependent cell biological events when directly expressed in plant cells.
Infection Causes HopW1-Dependent Disruption of Endocytosis
We tested whether the delivery of HopW1 during P. syringae infection has a similar effect on endocytosis as HopW1 expressed directly in plant cells. To estimate when the inhibition of endocytosis might occur, we infected seedlings with PtoDC3000/HopW1 or PtoDC3000/vector, or treated seedlings with LatB as a positive control. We monitored endosomes stained with FM4-64 in Col cotyledons 1.5, 6, and 18 h after infection (Figure 7A and 7B). The numbers of endosomes per cell labeled with FM4-64 were highly reduced at 6 and 18 h after infection with PtoDC3000/HopW1 and similar to the effect of LatB treatment. In contrast, the number of endosomes was not different from mock treatment in early (1.5–6 h) PtoDC3000/vector infection, but was reduced by 50% at 18 h. These results indicate that HopW1 is mainly responsible for the inhibition of endocytosis during early stages of infection, but PtoDC3000 may have another factor(s) that also weakly affects endocytosis at the later times. The timing of inhibition of endocytosis by HopW1 is consistent with disruption of actin cytoskeleton during infection (Figure 2).
Discussion
HopW1's virulence activity is strongly linked to its effect on actin and actin-dependent processes in susceptible Col Arabidopsis. Specifically, HopW1 co-purifies with actin from plants and can disrupt F-actin in vitro and decrease actin filament density during infection. Figure 8 shows a model for HopW1's possible mode of action as a virulence factor. HopW1 inhibits actin-dependent cell biological processes in planta, such as endocytosis and the trafficking of certain proteins destined for ER and/or vacuoles. Surface receptors such as FLS2 or LeEix2 that recognize PAMPs and contribute to basal defense [32] are endocytosed upon activation [33], [34], [35]. Endocytosis of receptors requires an intact actin cytoskeleton [33], but whether endocytosis per se is critical for FLS2 signaling to limit bacterial growth is not clear. Endocytosis of the tomato receptor LeEix2 is important for its immune signaling output [35]. Trafficking to the ER, disrupted by HopW1, is necessary for replacement of endocytosed receptors at the plasma membrane [33], [36] and secretion of antimicrobial factors [37]. Vacuole also has an established role in immunity [38].
HopW1 joins a growing list of pathogenic effectors from infectious bacteria that directly bind actin and/or regulate actin and thus actin-dependent processes [15], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43]. However, HopW1 is the first effector that we know of from a plant bacterial pathogen that directly targets actin. HopW1 can increase the growth of a P. syringae isolate that is already relatively successful in growing on Arabidopsis. This implicates an actin-dependent process(es) as important for imparting an immune response to limit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Disruption of F-actin polymerization with LatB also increases susceptibility of the Col accession of Arabidopsis to PtoDC3000 ([12], this paper) confirming the role of actin cytoskeleton in defense. HopW1 is not part of the PtoDC3000 effector repertoire, and thus we expect that there may be yet additional effectors from PtoDC3000 and/or other P. syringae strains that affect actin or actin-dependent processes.
Recently, a study of actin dynamics during infection of Arabidopsis by PtoDC3000 implicated effectors as causing increased F-actin bundling late in the infection as part of the virulence mechanism, although no specific effector was identified [12]. We did not notice any effect of HopW1 on F-actin bundling. An early response to PAMPs and infection is an increase in density of actin filaments [12], [13], possibly to assist with higher demand for intracellular trafficking during defense. HopW1 counteracts this response by disrupting F-actin early during infection.
HopW1-C activity in vitro is specific for non-muscle (cytosolic) actin. Plant vegetative actin isoforms (expressed in all vegetative organs) are not more phylogenetically similar to non-muscle than muscle animal actins. However, they are functionally more related to cytosolic actins than to specialized muscle actins [44]. Cytosolic actin is essential for processes such as growth and intracellular trafficking in all eukaryotic cells. Our results confirm this functional similarity, recently reported by complementation of Arabidopsis vegetative actin mutants by human and protist cytosolic actins, but not by human muscle actins [44].
Interestingly, the actin-disrupting/actin binding portion of HopW1 (the C-terminal region) is also present in an effector found in some pathogenic E. coli strains [22]. A protein BLAST search indicates that the plant pathogen Acidovorax encodes a protein with similarity to the C-terminus of HopW1 (eg. GeneBank accession no. YP 969911). These homologs may also disrupt actin as part of their virulence mechanisms. HopW1 does not have recognizable features corresponding to any known actin depolymerizing or severing factors. However, its localization pattern in patches resembled that of actin-binding proteins involved in F-actin organization at the membrane: class I formins, such as AtFH4 [45] and NET proteins [46]. Future structural analysis may shed light whether HopW1 is an example of a structural mimic of a known activity or whether it disrupts F-actin by a wholly novel mechanism.

Bacterial Strains and Plasmids
Bacterial strain and plasmids used in this study are listed in Tables S1, S2.
Bacterial Growth Assays In Planta
Bacteria and/or 10 µM LatB were inoculated into leaves of 3-week old Arabidopsis thaliana Col accession grown in soil for bacterial growth analyses, which were done as described in Text S1.
Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot and LC-MS/MS Analysis
HopW1-HA was immunoprecipitated with anti-HA matrix (Roche) from transgenic Arabidopsis or transiently transformed N. benthamiana as described Text S1. LC-MS/MS protein identification after trypsin digestion of protein bands was performed at Chicago Biomedical Consortium as described [47]; data was searched against the NCBI database using Mascot and validated with Scaffold 2 (Proteome Software Inc.)
Evaluation of F-actin Arrays in Cotyledons after Infection
To quantitatively evaluate actin filament populations, we calculated F-actin density in the cell as the percent occupancy of Lifeact-GFP signals based on the captured confocal microscope images. Transgenic Col/Lifeact-GFP [26] cotyledons were infected with PtoDC3000/empty vector or PtoDC3000/HopW1 at OD600 = 0.01 and 100 µM LatB was used as an actin cytoskeleton-disrupting control. Laser-scanning confocal microscopy was used to visualize Lifeact-GFP (see Text S1 for details) in infected epidermal cells. GFP fluorescence from Z-series maximum-intensity projections of 32 optical sections (0.5 µm each) was separated from background by minimal threshold to include all F-actin signals. Images were analyzed by Image J software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij) as described [25]. Gaussian blur and high-band pass filter (1–5 pixels) were applied as described in [12], [25]. Actin filament density was designated as a percentage of total pixel numbers of F-actin (as defined by Lifeact-GFP) per total number of pixels in the photograph [12], [25]. Picture regions without stomata were used for F-actin density calculation.
Protoplast Isolation and Transient Transformation
Arabidopsis protoplasts isolation, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transformation [48], [49] and microscopy were done as described in Text S1. Protoplasts from at least two independent transgenic dex:HopW1 lines were used with similar results.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 strain harboring pMDC43-Lifeact (F-actin marker) and 35S-mCherry (control) or pGWB454-HopW1 (HopW1-RFP) were co-infiltrated into N. benthamiana leaves. 16–40 h after Agro-infiltration, leaves were analyzed by confocal microscopy. At least 30 cells with HopW1-CFP signal were observed in 2 experiments 24–40 h after transformation.
Monitoring Protein Trafficking in the Presence of HopW1
Constructs for in vivo organelle targeting reporter proteins (AALP:GFP and SPO:GFP, kindly provided by Dr. Inhwan Hwang in Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea) were transfected into protoplasts derived from Arabidopsis dex:hopW1 and control non-transgenic plants, and incubated in W5 buffer with 0.2 µM dexamethasone to express HopW1. Protoplasts were monitored using confocal fluorescence microscopy (described in Text S1) at the various times (12 h, 24 h, and 48 h) after transfection/dex treatment. Based on the digital images of transformed protoplasts, we categorized GFP patterns by the distributions of reporters as a vacuolar, an ER, and a punctate pattern, and then we counted and scored the distribution patterns of >100 protoplasts.
Endocytosis Inhibition Assay in Protoplasts and Cotyledons
Protoplasts prepared from Arabidopsis expressing dex:hopW1 or non-transgenic controls were incubated overnight with 0.2 µM dexamethasone and then stained with 6.4 µM FM4-64 (Invitrogen, Eugene, OR) for 5 min and washed with W5 buffer. The protoplasts were then incubated for various times (up to 2 h) in W5 buffer at room temperature prior to fluorescence microscopy as described in Text S1.
To study endocytosis after infection, 6- to 8-d old Arabidopsis Col grown on MS agar plates were inoculated by placing a drop of PtoDC3000/HopW1 or PtoDC3000/vector cultures at OD600 of 0.01 in 10 mM MgSO4 or 100 µM LatB on each seedling, and incubated in a sterile hood for 30 min to allow the excess liquid to be absorbed by the seedling or evaporate. Seedlings were returned to the growth chamber for various times (up to 24 h). Harvested cotyledons infiltrated with 8.2 µM FM4-64 (Invitrogen, Eugene, OR) using vacuum for 2 min, were incubated 1 h prior to microscopic analyses. Endosomes were manually counted in at least 10 plant cells per treatment per time point.
Non-muscle F-actin Disruption Assays
F-actin disruption assays followed manufacturer's protocol (Cytoskeleton, #BK013, USA) for sedimentation assays or fluorescence microscopy as described [50], [51] in the presence of purified recombinant HopW1-C (Text S1). Non-muscle actin was polymerized to filaments in 10 mM Tris pH 7.0, 1 mM ATP, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM EGTA, 0.2 mM CaCl2 and 2 mM MgCl2 for 1 h at room temperature. 10 µM preassembled F-actin was incubated with HopW1-C or controls (BSA or E. coli extract) for 30 min. at room temperature and centrifuged at 150,000×g for 1.5 h. Pellet (P) and supernatant (S) fractions were separated by SDS-PAGE.
To examine F-actin disruption by fluorescence microscopy, 5 µM preassembled non-muscle F-actin was incubated with different amounts of HopW1-C or BSA for 1 h at room temperature and stained for 5 min with 1 µM TRITC-Phalloidin (Fluka Biochemika, Switzerland). Reactions were terminated by a 250-fold dilution in fluorescence buffer (50 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 100 mM DTT, 20 µg/ml catalase, 100 µg/ml glucose oxidase, 3 mg/ml glucose, 0.5% methylcellulose, and 10 mM imidazole, pH 7.0) and absorbed to coverslips coated with 0.05 µg/µl poly-L-lysine.
Fluorescence images were collected with a cooled CCD camera (Orca-ER, Hamamatsu) on an Olympus IX-81 microscope. The lengths of at least 100 filaments per treatment were quantified using ImageJ software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij).
