Pathogenic bacteria inject effector proteins into host cells to manipulate cellular processes and facilitate the infection. Transcription-activator-like effectors (TALEs), an effector class in plant pathogenic bacteria, transcriptionally activate host genes to promote disease. We identifyarginine decarboxylase(ADC) genes as the host targets of Brg11, a TALE-like effector from the plant pathogenRalstonia solanacearum. Brg11 targets a 17-bp sequence that was found to be part of a conserved 50-bp motif, termed theADC-box, upstream ofADCgenes involved in polyamine biosynthesis. The transcribedADC-boxattenuates translation from nativeADCmRNAs; however, Brg11 induces truncatedADCmRNAs lacking theADC-box, thus bypassing this translational control. As a result, Brg11 induces elevated polyamine levels that trigger a defense reaction and likely inhibits bacterial niche competitors but notR. solanacearum. Our findings suggest that Brg11 may giveR. solanacearuma competitive advantage and uncover a role for bacterial effectors in regulating ternary microbe-host-microbe interactions.
