Role of type IV secretion system genes in virulence of rice bacterial brown stripe pathogen Acidovorax oryzae strain RS-2.

Type IV secretion system (T4SS) is a specialized nanomachine that is utilized for the pathogenicity of gram-negative bacteria. However, the role of T4SS genes in virulence of rice bacterial brown stripe pathogen Acidovorax oryzae (Ao) strain RS-2 is not clear, which contains T4SS gene cluster based on genome-wide analysis. Here we compared the virulence-related phenotypes between the wild-type strain RS-2 and nine T4SS mutants, which were constructed in this study. Results indicated that mutation of pilT, pilM, pilQ, or pilZ3 genes not only significantly reduced bacterial virulence, but also caused a reduction of 20.4-62.0% in biofilm formation and 37.7-47.7% reduction in motility, but had no effect on exopolysaccharide (EPS) production or extracellular enzymatic activities when compared to the wild type. The four T4SS genes had a differential effect on bacterial growth after 24 h post-incubation. The complemented strains of the four T4SS mutants restored similar virulence symptom as the wild type. In addition, no change was observed in bacterial virulence by mutation of the other five T4SS genes. Totally, these results demonstrated that T4SS played vital roles in bacterial virulence, motility and biofilm formation in plant pathogen Ao strain RS-2.
