dc.description.abstractKiwifruit bacterial canker, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), is a significant threat to the kiwifruit industry. The two-component signaling systems (TCSs) play a crucial role in regulating the virulence of Pseudomonas syringae (P. syringae), yet their specific function in Psa remains largely unclear. In this study, we found that disrupting the TCS RegAB (encoded by Psa_802/Psa_803) resulted in a notable increase in the pathogenicity of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae M228 (Psa M228) in host plant and hypersensitive reaction (HR) in nonhost plant. Through comparative transcriptome analysis of the Psa M228 wild-type strain and the regA mutant, we identified the pivotal role of RegA/B in controlling various physiological pathways, including the Type III secretion system (T3SS), a key determinant of Psa virulence. Additionally, we discovered that the RegA does have binding sites in the promoter region of the hrpR/S, and the transcriptional level of the hrpR and other T3SS-related genes increased in the regA deletion strain relative to the Psa M228 wild-type. The DNA-binding affinity of RegA, and therefore the repressor function, is enhanced by its phosphorylation. Our findings unveil the function of TCS RegAB and the regulatory mechanism of T3SS by RegAB in Psa, highlighting the diverse functions of the RegAB system.
