Plants initiate specific defense responses by recognizing conserved epitope peptides within the flagellin proteins derived from bacteria. Proteolytic cleavage of epitope peptides from flagellin by plant apoplastic proteases is thought to be crucial for the perception of the epitope by the plant receptor. However, the identity of the plant proteases involved in this process remains unknown. Here, we establish an efficient identification system for the target proteases in Arabidopsis apoplastic fluid; the method employs native two-dimensional electrophoresis followed by an in-gel proteolytic assay using a fluorescence-quenching peptide substrate. We designed a substrate to specifically detect proteolytic activity at the C-terminus of the flg22 epitope in flagellin and identified two plant subtilases, SBT5.2 and SBT1.7, as specific proteases responsible for the C-terminal cleavage of flg22. In the apoplastic fluid of Arabidopsis mutant plants deficient in these two proteases, we observe a decrease in the C-terminal cleavage of the flg22 domain from flagellin, leading to a decrease in the efficiency of flg22 epitope liberation. Consequently, defensive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is delayed in sbt5.2 sbt1.7 double-mutant leaf disks compared to wild type following flagellin exposure.
