After many secretion of a cyclic peptide derivative we named syringo- difficulties we succeeded, surprisingly discovering that lin A (SylA). One of the intriguing properties of SylA was the epitope belonged to a periplasmic binding protein that, upon spray application, it triggered hypersensitive homolog of a high-affinity transport system (an ABC cell death of wheat (and Arabidopsis) cells colonized by transporter) in Mycoplasma hyorhinis, discovering such powdery mildew, thus converting a compatible interac- transporters in Gram-positive bacteria. This led to two tion into an incompatible one. Transcriptome analyses of publications in EMBO journal in 1988 that are still cited, SylA-sprayed and untreated plants revealed very complex since a connection between this mycoplasma species SylA-induced changes whose interpretation eventually led and certain cancer forms has materialized also clinically. to the hypothesis that SylA may target the proteasome. Being at a plant biology institute, where I was promoted Recently, we showed together with our collaborators that to adjunct professor in 2001, I finally chose to change my SylA is a virulence factor synthesized by many strains of P. research to acquired resistance in cereals, at the beginning syringae pv. syringae (but not by other pathovars as far as mainly focsing on the interaction of powdery mildew tested) that irreversibly inhibit the eukaryotic proteasome with wheat, but also on the interaction of rice blast with by a novel mechanism. Cloning of the SylA synthetase rice. We began by cloning transcripts accumulating at the gene cluster allowed to build a SylA biosynthesis model, onset of acquired resistance. It became quickly obvious which in turn allowed the cloning of the gene cluster re- that, to test whether the respective genes were involved in sponsible for the biosynthesis of glidobactin A (GlbA), a resistance, a quick and reliable assay system for candidate structurally similar antifungal and antitumor agent isolated genes was needed. We thus established a transient assay from an unknown species belonging to the Burkholderi- system based on the biolistic transformation of cereal ales 20 years ago. We showed that GlbA is also a protea- epidermal cells. This widely used system works well some inhibitor acting by the same mechanism as SylA, and allows scoring of the phenotypic effect on powdery and thus we dubbed this class of inhibitors as syrbactins. mildew-cereal interactions of transient over-expression Homologous gene clusters potentially responsible for the as well as suppression by RNA interference of genes of synthesis of syrbactin-like compounds were identified in interest.

Since I have entered the field of plant-pathogen a number of collaborations to elucidate the biology of this interactions, IS-MPMI and its journal have been important new class of proteasome inhibitors. Why is SylA a virulence for me. This is also reflected by the fact that part of the factor?
