Résumé

N-acetylglucosamine containing compounds acting as pathogenic or symbiotic signals are perceived by plant-specific Lysin Motif Receptor-Like Kinases (LysM-RLKs). The molecular mechanisms of this perception are not fully understood, notably those of lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) produced during root endosymbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. In Medicago truncatula, we previously identified the LysM-RLK LYR3 (MtLYR3) as a specific LCO-binding protein. We also showed that the absence of LCO binding to LYR3 of the non-mycorrhizal Lupinus angustifolius, (LanLYR3), was related to LysM3, which differs from that of MtLYR3 by several amino acids and, particularly, by a critical tyrosine residue absent in LanLYR3. Here, we aimed to define the LCO binding site of MtLYR3 by using molecular modelling and simulation approaches, combined with site-directed mutagenesis and LCO binding experiments. 3D models of MtLYR3 and LanLYR3 ectodomains were built, and homology modelling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed. Molecular docking and MD simulation on the LysM3 identified potential key residues for LCO binding. We highlighted by steered MD simulations that in addition to the critical tyrosine, two other residues were important for LCO binding in MtLYR3. Substitution of these residues in LanLYR3-LysM3 by those of MtLYR3-LysM3 allowed the recovery of high-affinity LCO binding in experimental radioligand-binding assays. An analysis of selective constraints revealed that the critical tyrosine has experienced positive selection pressure and is absent in some LYR3 proteins. These findings now pave the way to uncover the functional significance of this specific evolutionary pattern.
