SsCyp86 modulates <i>sporisorium scitamineum</i> mating/filamentation and pathogenicity through regulating fatty acid metabolism.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fatty acid metabolism constitutes a significant and intricate biochemical process within microorganisms. Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes are found in most organisms and occupy a pivotal position in the metabolism of fatty acids. However, the role of CYP450 enzyme mediated fatty acid metabolism in the pathogenicity of pathogenic fungi remains unclear.

Methods

In this study, a CYP450 enzyme-encoding gene, SsCYP86, was identified in the sugarcane smut fungus Sporisorium scitamineum and its functions were characterized using a target gene homologous recombination strategy and metabonomics.

Results

We found that the expression of SsCYP86 was induced by or sugarcane wax or under the condition of mating/filamentation. Sexual reproduction assa
