Proxitome profiling reveals a conserved SGT1-NSL1 signaling module that activates NLR-mediated immunity

Suppressor of G2 allele of skp1(SGT1)is a highly conserved eukaryotic protein that plays a vital role in growth,development,and immunity in both animals and plants.Although some SGT1 interactors have been identified,the molecular regulatory network of SGT1 remains unclear.SGT1 serves as a co-chaperone to stabilize protein complexes such as the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat(NLR)class of immune receptors,thereby positively regulating plant immunity.SGT1 has also been found to be asso-ciated with the SKP1-Cullin-F-box(SCF)E3 ubiquitin ligase complex.However,whether SGT1 targets im-mune repressors to coordinate plant immune activation remains elusive.In this study,we constructed a toolbox for TurbolD-and split-TurbolD-based proximity labeling(PL)assays in Nicotiana benthamiana and used the PL toolbox to explore the SGT1 interactome during pre-and post-immune activation.The comprehensive SGT1 interactome network we identified highlights a dynamic shift from proteins associ-ated with plant development to those linked with plant immune responses.We found that SGT1 interacts with Necrotic Spotted Lesion1(NSL1),which negatively regulates salicylic acid-mediated defenseby inter-fering with the nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of non-expressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1(NPR1)during N NLR-mediated response to tobacco mosaic virus.SGT1 promotes the SCF-dependent degrada-tion of NSL1 to facilitate immune activation,while salicylate-induced protein kinase-mediated phosphory-lation of SGT1further potentiates this process.Besides NNLR,NSL1also functions in several other NLR-mediated immunity.Collectively,our study unveils the regulatory landscape of SGT1 and reveals a novel SGT1-NSL1 signaling module that orchestrates plant innate immunity.

High-Sensitivity Detection of Fruit Tree Viruses UsingBacterial Magnetic Particles

Prunus necrotic ring spot virus （PNRSV） and grapevine fanleaf virus （GFLV） were detected by fluoroimmunoassay using bacterial magnetic particles （BMPs）, and a double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （DAS-ELISA）. For the fluoroimmunoassay, fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled anti-PNRSV antibody or anti-GFLV antibody was conjugated onto BMPs of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1. With this method, a very low minimum antigen concentration （1×10^6 dilution of the original sample concentration） could be detected. Using DAS-ELISA, the minimum antigen detection concentration was the original sample concentration. Thus, comparing these two methods, a BMP-based method could increase the sensitivity up to six orders of magnitude （10^6） higher than an ELISA-based method of detection PNRSV and GFLV.
