I- Introduction Small secreted proteins (SSP) and the establishment of fungal biotrophy M. larici-populina: obligate biotrophic fungus completely dependant on living plant tissues for growth and development Specialized infection structure: haustorium Hahn and Mendgen 1997: haustorial ESTs from U. fabae • Early stages of host infection marked by the activation of many genes: PIGs (in Planta Induced Genes) Transport: genes encoding transporters: PIG2- HXT1(Hahn et al, 1997; Voegele et al, 2001) Biosynthesis: genes involved in thiamine biosynthesis (THI1; THI4) (Sohn et al, 2000) Trafficking an signalling process: RTP1 (Kemen et al, 2005)
I- Introduction Catanzariti et al, 2006: haustorial ESTs from M. lini Focus on the secreted proteins Identification of 21 transcripts encoding Haustorially Expressed Secreted Protein (HESPs) Among HESPs: AvrL567, expressed in haustoria and trigger specific hypersensitive response-like necrosis that is dependant on the co-expression of the L5, L6, L7 resistance genes (Dodds et al, 2004; Dodds et al, 2006) L9 L5 L6 L7 AvrL567
Clustering of genes encoding secreted proteins Virulence of deletion mutants Unaffected (7) increased (1) Non pathogenic (1) Reduced (3) I- Introduction Kämper et al., 2006:Ustilago maydis secreted proteins 18.6% SP organized in 12 clusters Deletion of individual clusters altered the virulence of U. maydis in five cases, ranging from a complete lack of symptoms to hypervirulence SP could trigger defense responses in the host plant (Avr genes) or manipulate host cell structure and fonction to facilitate infection
