Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/MPK) cascades are key signaling modules that regulate plant immunity.ENHANCED DISEASE RESISTANCE1(EDR1) encodes a Raf-like MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK) that negatively regulates plant defense in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The enhanced resistance ofedr1requires MAPK KINASE4 (MKK4), MKK5, and MPK3. Although theedr1mutant displays higher MPK3/6 activation, the mechanism by which plants increase MAPK cascade activation remains elusive. Our previous study showed that MAPKKK5 is phosphorylated at the Ser-90 residue inedr1mutants. In this study, we demonstrated that the enhanced disease resistance ofedr1required MAPKKK5. Phospho-dead MAPKKK5S90Apartially impaired the resistance ofedr1, and the expression of phospho-mimetic MAPKKK5S90Dinmapkkk5-2resulted in enhanced resistance to the powdery mildewGolovinomyces cichoracearumstrain UCSC1 and the bacterial pathogenPseudomonas syringaepv.tomato(Pto) strain DC3000. Thus, Ser-90 phosphorylation in MAPKKK5 appears to play a crucial role in disease resistance. However, MAPKKK5-triggered cell death was not suppressed by EDR1. Furthermore, activated MPK3 phosphorylated the N terminus of MAPKKK5, and Ser-90 was one of the phosphorylated sites. Ser-90 phosphorylation increased MAPKKK5 stability, and EDR1 might negatively regulate MAPK cascade activation by suppressing the MPK3-mediated feedback regulation of MAPKKK5. Taken together, these results indicate that MPK3 phosphorylates MAPKKK5 to enhance MAPK cascade activation and disease resistance inedr1mutants.
