Many bacterial phytopathogens employ effectors secreted through the type-III secretion system to suppress plant innate immune responses. The Xanthomonas type-III secreted non-TAL effector protein Xanthomonas outer protein Q (XopQ) exhibits homology to nucleoside hydrolases. Previous work indicated that mutations which affect the biochemical activity of XopQ fail to affect its ability to suppress rice innate immune responses, suggesting that the effector might be acting through some other pathway or mechanism. In this study, we show that XopQ interacts in yeast and in planta with two rice 14-3-3 proteins, Gf14f and Gf14g. A serine to alanine mutation (S65A) of a 14-3-3 interaction motif in XopQ abolishes the ability of XopQ to interact with the two 14-3-3 proteins and to suppress innate immunity. Surprisingly, the S65A mutant gains the ability to interact with a third 14-3-3 protein that is a negative regulator of innate immunity. The XopQS65A mutant is an inducer of rice immune responses and this property is dominant over the wild-type function of XopQ. Taken together, these results suggest that XopQ targets the rice 14-3-3 mediated immune response pathway and that its differential phosphorylation might enable interaction with alternative 14-3-3 proteins.
