Abstract
Ubiquitination-mediated protein degradation is integral to plant immunity,with E3 ubiquitin li-gases acting as key factors in this process.Here,we report the functions of OsATL32,a plasma membrane-localized Arabidopsis Tóxicos En Le-vadura(ATL)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase,in rice(Oryza sativa)immunity and its associated regu-latory network.We found that the expression of OsATL32 is downregulated in both compatible and incompatible interactions between rice and the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.The OsATL32 protein level declines in response to in-fection by a compatible M.oryzae strain or to chitin treatment.OsATL32 negatively regulates rice resistance to blast and bacterial leaf blight diseases,as well as chitin-triggered immunity.Biochemical and genetic studies revealed that OsATL32 suppresses pathogen-induced reactive oxygen species(ROS)accumulation by mediating ubiquitination and degradation of the ROS-producing OsRac5-OsRbohB module,which en-hances rice immunity against M.oryzae.The pro-tein phosphatase PHOSPHATASE AND TENSIN HOMOLOG enhances rice blast resistance by dephosphorylating OsATL32 and promoting its degradation,preventing its negative effect on rice immunity.This study provides insights into the molecular mechanism by which the E3 ligase OsATL32 targets a ROS-producing module to un-dermine rice immunity.
