Septin-Mediated Plant Cell Invasion by the Rice Blast Fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/336/6088/1590.full
To cause rice blast disease, the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae develops a pressurized dome-shaped cell called an appressorium , which physically ruptures the leaf cuticle to gain entry to plant tissue . Here , we report that a toroidal F-actin network assembles in the appressorium by means of four septin guanosine triphosphatases , which polymerize into a dynamic , hetero-oligomeric ring . Septins scaffold F-actin , via the ezrin-radixin-moesin protein Tea1, and phosphatidylinositide interactions at the appressorium plasma membrane . The septin ring assembles in a Cdc42- and Chm1-dependent manner and forms a diffusion barrier to localize the inverse-bin-amphiphysin-RVS –domain protein Rvs167 and the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein Las17 at the point of penetration . Septins thereby provide the cortical rigidity and membrane curvature necessary for protrusion of a rigid penetration peg to breach the leaf surface .
