The NSP-interacting kinase (NIK) receptor-mediated defense pathway has been identified recently as a virulence target of the geminivirus nuclear shuttle protein (NSP). However, the NIK1–NSP interaction does not fit into the elicitor–receptor model of resistance, and hence the molecular mechanism that links this antiviral response to receptor activation remains obscure. Here, we identified a ribosomal protein, rpL10A, as a specific partner and substrate of NIK1 that functions as an immediate downstream effector of NIK1-mediated response. Phosphorylation of cytosolic rpL10A by NIK1 redirects the protein to the nucleus where it may act to modulate viral infection. While ectopic expression of normal NIK1 or a hyperactive NIK1 mutant promotes the accumulation of phosphorylated rpL10A within the nuclei, an inactive NIK1 mutant fails to redirect the protein to the nuclei of co-transfected cells. Likewise, a mutant rpL10A defective for NIK1 phosphorylation is not redirected to the nucleus. Furthermore, loss of rpL10A function enhances susceptibility to geminivirus infection, resembling the phenotype of nik1 null alleles. We also provide evidence that geminivirus infection directly interferes with NIK1-mediated nuclear relocalization of rpL10A as a counterdefensive measure. However, the NIK1-mediated defense signaling neither activates RNA silencing nor promotes a hypersensitive response but inhibits plant growth and development. Although the virulence function of the particular geminivirus NSP studied here overcomes this layer of defense in Arabidopsis, the NIK1-mediated signaling response may be involved in restricting the host range of other viruses. Plants are constantly exposed to microorganisms and, like animals, developed innate immune systems to prevent infections. Although these immune systems protect plants against most potential pathogens, the molecular mechanisms underlying nonhost immunity remain obscure. Here, we describe a novel strategy of plant defenses identified as a target of the geminivirus nuclear shuttle protein (NSP) that suppresses the activity of the transmembrane receptor NIK (NSP-interacting kinase). In addition, we identified a ribosomal protein, rpL10A, as the immediate downstream component of the pathway. Based on our findings, we propose that this pathway is elicited by activation of the receptor NIK1, which results in phosphorylation and translocation of rpL10A to the nucleus. We also provided genetic and biochemical evidence that this regulated trafficking of rpL10A may effectively mount a defense strategy that negatively impacts geminivirus proliferation or movement. Nevertheless, the virulence function of NSP from the bipartite geminivirus CaLCuV (Cabbage leaf curl virus) is capable of overcoming the NIK1-mediated defense and thereby enhances the pathogenicity of CaLCuV in Arabidopsis. The NIK1-mediated signaling response may be involved in restricting the host range of other viruses.
