Fusicoccin (FC) is a fungal toxin
that activates the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase by
binding with 14-3-3 proteins, causing membrane hyperpolarization. Here
we report on the effect of FC on a gene-for-gene pathogen-resistance response and show that FC application induces the expression of several
genes involved in plant responses to pathogens. Ten members of the
FC-binding 14-3-3 protein gene family were isolated from tomato
(Lycopersicon esculentum) to characterize their role in defense responses. Sequence analysis is suggestive of common
biochemical functions for these tomato 14-3-3 proteins, but their genes
showed different expression patterns in leaves after challenges.
Different specific subsets of 14-3-3 genes were induced after
treatment with FC and during a gene-for-gene resistance response.
Possible roles for the H+-ATPase and 14-3-3 proteins in
responses to pathogens are discussed.
