Interaction between SGT1 and Cytosolic/Nuclear HSC70 Chaperones Regulates Arabidopsis Immune Responses Export

Interaction assays of transiently expressed proteins or their domains in Nicotiana benthamiana point to a role of SGT1 as a HSC70 cofactor. Expression of two HSC70 isoforms is upregulated by pathogen challenge, and while loss of function of individual cytosolic HSC70 genes has no defense phenotype, HSC70-1 overexpression disables resistance to virulent and avirulent pathogens.

We conclude that an HSC70-SGT1 chaperone complex is important for multiple plant environmental responses and that the evolutionarily conserved SGS domain of SGT1 is a key determinant of the HSC70SGT1 association. 10.1105/tpc.107.051896}, author = {Noel, Laurent D. and Cagna, Giuseppe and Stuttmann, Johannes and Wirthmuller, Lennart and Betsuyaku, Shigeyuki and Witte, Claus-Peter and Bhat, Riyaz and Pochon, Nathalie and Colby, Thomas and Parker, Jane E.}, citeulike-article-id = {2177216}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.051896}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://view.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18065690}, citeulike-linkout-2 = {http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=18065690}, day = {7}, doi = {10.1105/tpc.107.051896}, journal = {Plant Cell}, keywords = {basal, hsc70, sgt1}, month = {December}, pages = {tpc.107.051896+}, posted-at = {2007-12-28 12:12:40}, priority = {2}, title = {Interaction between SGT1 and Cytosolic/Nuclear HSC70 Chaperones Regulates Arabidopsis Immune Responses}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.051896}, year = {2007} }
