Functional Characterization of Ao4g24: An Uncharacterized Gene Involved in Conidiation, Trap Formation, Stress Response, and Secondary Metabolism in Arthrobotrys oligospora.

ABSTRACT: Arthrobotrys oligospora is a typical nematode-trapping (NT) fungus, which can secrete food cues to lure, capture, and digest nematodes by triggering the production of adhesive networks (traps). Based on genomic and proteomic analyses, multiple pathogenic genes and proteins involved in trap formation have been characterized; however, there are numerous uncharacterized genes that play important roles in trap formation. The functional studies of these unknown genes are helpful in systematically elucidating the complex interactions between A. oligospora and nematode hosts. In this study, we screened the gene AOL_s00004g24 (Ao4g24). This gene is similar to the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, which was found to play a potential role in trap formation in our previous tr
