PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI). Recognition of danger signals Distinguish self or damaged self versus nonself – fundamental to any immune system PAMP or MAMP – pathogen/microbe-associated molecular pattern DAMP – damage-associated molecular pattern
E N D
PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) • Recognition of danger signals • Distinguish self or damaged self versus nonself – fundamental to any immune system • PAMP or MAMP – pathogen/microbe-associated molecular pattern • DAMP – damage-associated molecular pattern • PRR – Pattern recognition receptors (receptor-like proteins/kinases) • Membrane receptors • Ligand-receptor interaction • Initiate signal transduction cascade • Conserved features across plants, insects, vertebrates • Adapted pathogens use effectors to suppress • PTI often considered weaker than ETI, but is it really?

How to distinguish a PAMP from an effector?? • PAMPS can be widely conserved or narrowly conserved • Invariant or highly constrained sequence • PAMP is essential for microbial fitness and survival • Effector specifically contributes to virulence by targeting host (defense) physiology • Lines are blurry • From the plant immunity point of view, the nature and intrinsic • function of the ligand is not relevant as long as it timely and accurately betrays the potential microbial invader to the plant surveillance system. As a result of continuous coevolution between plant and pathogen, a wealth of plant perception systems for microbe-derived molecules has been shaped that reliably fulfills roles in mediating the establishment of plant immunity Thomma et al.

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) • First layer of active defense, extracellular membrane receptors • PRRs perceive PAMPs by typical receptor-ligand interactions • Evolutionarily ancient and some widely occurring in plant kingdom • Interfamily transfer of PRRs more successful than R genes • R proteins in contrast are evolutionarily young, with many novel members • Lines are blurry, some interactions classified as Avr-R gene may be re-classified as PAMP-PRR Thomma et al.

Zigzag model incorporating co-evolution between Cladosporiumfulvumand tomato Ecp6 – LysM effector - competes with CEBiP - present in all C.f. isolates - widely occurs in fungi (chitin scavenging important for virulence) - some tomato genotypes develop HR to Ecp6 Thomma et al.

Some outstanding remaining questions Match more PAMPs to their PRRs PRR specificity? do plants activate congruent pathways to different microbes? How does PTI restrict pathogen growth? Links between PTI and cell death? Where does specificity in signaling occur for different microbes? Can PRRs be pyramided to give broad spectrum immunity? What molecular events initiate distinct signaling branches? How is PTI tightly controlled to avoid autoimmune disorders? Molecular interconnection between ETI and PTI How is PTI connected to hormone pathways involved in growth and development?
