S654A | site-directed mutagenesis, LonS654A is no longer able to be phosphorylated and the mutant loses its virulence. Pathogenicity can fully be restored by addition of exogenous wild-type N-terminally His-tagged HrpG, although not by C-terminally His-tagged HrpG | Xanthomonas citri pv. citri |
S654D | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant partially retaines its pathogenicity | Xanthomonas citri pv. citri |
S654E | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant retaines its pathogenicity | Xanthomonas citri pv. citri |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | substitution of alanine for Lon serine 654 results in repression of T3SS gene expression in the Citrus host through robust degradation of HrpG and reduced bacterial virulence | Xanthomonas citri pv. citri |
additional information | homology modeling of the Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri Lon P domain by using the Escherichia coli Lon structure as a template. Structural simulation using a phosphomimetic aspartic acid at position 654 of the P domain reveals the formation of two new H bonds between two structurally adjacent residues, A655 and S658 after phosphorylation of Ser654 | Xanthomonas citri pv. citri |
physiological function | a phosphorylation switch on Lon protease regulates bacterial type III secretion system in the host. Host-induced phosphorylation of the ATP-dependent protease Lon stabilizes HrpG, the master regulator of T3SS, conferring bacterial virulence. In rich medium, Lon represses the type III secretion system (T3SS) by degradation of HrpG via recognition of its N-terminus. Phosphorylation at Ser654 deactivates Lon proteolytic activity and attenuates HrpG proteolysis. Lon protease negatively regulates bacterial virulence by repressing hrc/hrp gene transcription. Phosphorylation of Lon is required for bacterial virulence and HR induction | Xanthomonas citri pv. citri |
