Proteomic analysis of Agrobacterium tumefaciens response to the Vir gene inducer acetosyringone.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes crown gall disease in a wide range of plants by transforming plants through the transfer and integration of its transferred DNA (T-DNA) into the host genome. In the present study, we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to examine the protein expression profiles of A. tumefaciens in response to the phenolic compound acetosyringone (AS), a known plant-released virulence ( vir) gene inducer. Using mass spectrometry, we identified 11 proteins consisting of 9 known AS-induced Vir proteins and 2 newly discovered AS-induced proteins, an unknown protein Y4mC (Atu6162) and a small heat shock protein HspL (Atu3887). Further expression analysis revealed that the AS-induced expression of Y4mC and HspL is regulated by the VirA/VirG two-component system. This report presents the first proteomics study successfully identifying both known and new AS-induced proteins that are implicated in Agrobacterium virulence.[1]
