Mushroom development in S. commune

ABSTRACT: In order to study changes in gene expression during mushroom development in Schizophyllum commune, genome wide gene expression was analysed in 4 developmental stages: vegetative mycelium, stage I aggregates, stage II primordia and mature mushrooms 4 samples: - vegetative mycelium - stage I aggregates - stage II primordia - mature mushrooms RNA was obtained from 3 biological replicates and pooled

Much remains to be learned about the biology of mushroom-forming fungi, which are an important source of food, secondary metabolites and industrial enzymes. The wood-degrading fungus Schizophyllum commune is both a genetically tractable model for studying mushroom development and a likely source of enzymes capable of efficient degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. Comparative analyses of its 38.5-megabase genome, which encodes 13,210 predicted genes, reveal the species's unique wood-degrading ...[more]

Project description:The M-bM-^@M-^Xdevelopmental hourglassM-bM-^@M-^Y concept suggests that intermediate developmental stages are most resistant to evolutionary changes and that differences between species arise through divergence later in development. This high conservation during mid-development is illustrated by the M-bM-^@M-^XwaistM-bM-^@M-^Y of the hourglass and it represents a low probability of evolutionary change. Earlier molecular surveys both on animals and plants have shown that the genes expressed at the waist stage are more ancient and more conserved in their expression. The existence of such a developmental hourglass has not been explored in fungi, another eukaryotic kingdom. In this study, we generated a series of transcriptomic data covering the entire lifecycle of a model mushroom-forming fungus, Coprinopsis cinerea, and we observed a molecular hourglass over its development. The M-bM-^@M-^Xyoung fruiting bodyM-bM-^@M-^Y (YFB) is the stage that expresses the evolutionarily oldest (lowest transcriptome age index, TAI) transcriptome and gives the strongest signal of purifying selection (lowest transcriptome divergence index, TDI). We also demonstrated that all three kingdoms M-bM-^@M-^S animals, plants and fungi M-bM-^@M-^S display high expression levels of genes in M-bM-^@M-^Xinformation storage and processingM-bM-^@M-^Y at the waist stages, whereas the genes in M-bM-^@M-^XmetabolismM-bM-^@M-^Y become more highly expressed later. Besides, the three kingdoms all show underrepresented M-bM-^@M-^Xsignal transductionM-bM-^@M-^Y at the waist stages. The synchronic existence of a molecular M-bM-^@M-^XhourglassM-bM-^@M-^Y across the three kingdoms reveals a mutual strategy for eukaryotes to incorporate evolutionary innovations. NimbleGen custom microarray with total RNAs extracted from two biological replicates for each stage of mycelium, fruiting initials (~2mm tall), stage 2 primordium (~1cm tall), young fruiting body (~2cm tall) and the fully-expanded cap of the mature fruiting body (~4cm tall). Mycelia from 5 agar plates were collected and pooled to form one replicate. For the other stages, 4-5 independent structures were isolated and their RNA extracted as one replicate sample.

Project description:The analysis of fungi secreted proteins has been increasingly employed as a powerful strategy in the prospecting of new catalysts with potential biotechnological application. Since enzyme production is strongly modulated by several factors such as pH, available nutrients, water content, oxygen levels and temperature, the evaluation of growth conditions is of utmost importance to achieve optimal enzyme production. Here, a non-sequenced wood-rotting fungus, L. crinitus, was selected as a model organism for secretome analysis by means of in vitro enzymatic assays and in-depth characterization via proteomics. For enzyme production, the fungus was cultured with several types and concentrations of carbon and nitrogen sources and variable water content. Five different carbon substrates (glucose, maltose, starch, sucrose, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), glycerol and fructose) and three nitrogen containing compounds (urea, sodium nitrate and ammonium chloride) were used as substitutes of the original carbon and nitrogen sources in culture media. Interestingly, the biomass yield as well as the array of secreted proteins differed drastically under different growing conditions. A mixture of soluble secreted extracts derived from different culture conditions was analyzed both by shotgun mass spectrometry and through protein separation by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) prior to identification via LC-MS/MS. Proteins were identified by sequence homology searches using mass spectrometry (MS)-driven BLAST. The spectrum of secreted enzymes comprised various types of CAZymes (carbohydrate-active enzymes), oxidase/reductases, proteases, lipase/esterases, proteins with non-related functions thereby classified as miscellany proteins and hypothetical or unknown predicted proteins. Although pre-separation by 2DE improved the number of identifications (protein map of 150 spots corresponding to 171 identifications) compared to the shotgun approach (98 identifications) both strategies revealed similar distribution of proteins within the functional categories described above. Culture media with reduced water content stimulated the expression of oxidases/reductases such as Lac, MnP, GMC oxidoreductases and glyoxal oxidase while hydrolases were induced during submerged fermentation. The diversity of proteins observed within both the CAZyme and oxidoreductase groups revealed in this fungus a powerful arsenal of enzymes dedicated to the breakdown and consumption of lignocellulose. Moreover, further secretome characterization after sequencing and analysis of the L. crinitus genome can potentially lead to the discovery of novel enzymes of industrial and biotechnological interest. Importantly, information on sequencing data could also reveal novel enzymes which production is strongly stimulated only in specific growing conditions.
