ABSTRACTThe hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (hrp) genes ofDickeya dadantii3937 encode a type III secretion system (T3SS) which is essential for its full virulence. Previous studies of the T3SS regulation inD. dadantii3937 revealed that the expression of thehrpgenes is regulated by a master regulator, HrpL, through the HrpX-HrpY-HrpS-HrpL and GacS-GacA-rsmB-RsmA pathways. In this work, we identified a novel regulator of the SlyA/MarR family, SlyA, which regulateshrpgenes of the HrpL regulon in parallel with HrpL inD. dadantii. SlyA regulates the T3SS in a two-tier manner. It negatively regulates the expression ofhrpLby downregulatinghrpSand upregulatingrsmA. Interestingly, concomitant with its downregulation of thehrpL, SlyA positively regulates the expression ofhrpAandhrpN, twohrpgenes located in the HrpL regulon. In contrast toPectobacterium carotovorum, the expression ofslyAis not controlled by ExpR and ExpI inD. dadantii3937. We further show that SlyA is involved in controlling swimming motility and pellicle formation inD. dadantii3937.
