It has long been known that phytopathogenic bacteria react to plant-specific stimuli or environmental factors. However, how bacterial cells sense these environmental cues remains incompletely studied. Recently, three kinds of histidine kinases (HKs) were identified as receptors to perceive plant-associated or quorum-sensing signals. Among these kinases, HK VgrS detects iron depletion by binding to ferric iron via an ExxE motif, RpfC binds diffusible signal factor (DSF) by its N-terminal peptide and activates its autokinase activity through relaxation of autoinhibition, and PcrK specifically senses plant hormone–cytokinin and elicits bacterial responses to oxidative stress. These HKs are critical sensors that regulate the virulence of a Gram-negative bacterium,Xanthomonas campestrispv.campestris. Research progress on the signal perception of phytopathogenic bacterial HKs suggests that inter-kingdom signalling between host plants and pathogens controls pathogenesis and can be used as a potential molecular target to protect plants from bacterial diseases.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Biotic signalling sheds light on smart pest management’.
