The ability of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 to cause bacterial speck disease in tomato is dependent on the injection, via the type III secretion system, of approximately 28 Avr/Hop effector proteins. HopAA1-1 is encoded in the conserved effector locus (CEL) of the P syringae Hrp pathogenicity island. Transiently expressed HopAA1-1 acts inside Saccharomyces cerevisiae and plant cells to elicit cell death. hopAA1 homologs; were cloned and sequenced from the CEL of seven P syringae strains representing diverse pathovars. Analysis of the sequences revealed that HopAA1-1 carries a potential GTPase-activating protein (GAP) domain, GALRA, which is polymorphic (FEN instead of LRA) in HopAA1-2, a paralogous DC3000 effector. Deleting hopAA1-1 from DC3000 reduces the formation of necrotic speck lesions in dip-inoculated tomato leaves if effector-gene cluster IX or just PSPTO4723 within this region has been deleted. A HopAA1-1 mutant in which the putative catalytic arginine in the GAP-like domain has been replaced with alanine retains its ability to kill yeast and promote the formation of speck lesions by the Delta hopAA1-1 Delta IX mutant, but a HopAA1-1 mutant carrying the FEN polymorphism loses both of these abilities. Unexpectedly, PSPTO4723 does not appear to encode an effector and its deletion also reduces disease-associated chlorosis.
