Rbf1 induced gene expression in Ustilago maydis

ABSTRACT: In the phytopathogenic Basidiomcete Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are tightly connected and controlled via the b-mating type locus. The b-mating type locus encodes two homeodomain transcription factors, bE and bW, which form an active heterodimeric complex when they are derived from different b-alleles. Rbf1 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that is expressed upon formation of an active bE/bW heterodimer. To identify gene regulated by rbf1 independently from b, the b mating type locus was replaced by a copy of rbf1 under control of the arabinose-inducible crg1 promoter (strain CP27). Samples were taken 5h after induction of rbf1 gene expression. Strain JB2, carrying a deletion of the b-locus, was used as control.

Effect of rbf1 deletion during controlled expression of Ustilago maydis b-mating type locus genes bE1 and bW2

Project description:In the phytopathogenic Basidiomcete Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are tightly connected and controlled via the b-mating type locus. The b-mating type locus encodes two homeodomain transcription factors, bE and bW, which form an active heterodimeric complex when they are derived from different b-alleles. Rbf1 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that is expressed upon formation of an active bE/bW heterodimer. To analyse the dependency of b and rbf1, changes in gene expression were monitored in strain AB31 (Brachmann et al., 2001, Mol Microbiol 42, 1047-1063) and in the derivative AB31Δrbf1 in which rbf1 was deleted. AB31 harbours the active combination bE1 and bW2 under the control of the arabinose-inducible crg1 promoter. Samples were taken 3h, 5h and 12h after induction of bE/bW gene expression. Strain AB32, which harbors the incompatible bE2 and bW2 combination, was used as control. Strains were grown to an OD600 of 0.4-0.6 at 28°C in liquid array medium: 6.25% (w/v) salt solution, 30 mM L-glutamine, 1% (w/v) glucose, pH 7.0 (filter-sterilized). For induction of the bE and bW genes, cells were inoculated in liquid array medium containing 1% (w/v) arabinose instead of glucose as a carbon source. For induction, cells were washed once with inducing medium; time point 0 h of the time course experiments corresponds to the first contact with inducing medium. Experiments were performed in two biological replicates for each time point.

Controlled expression of compatible and incompatible combinations of Ustilago maydis b-mating type locus genes bE and bW

Project description:In the phytopathogenic Basidiomcete Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are tightly connected and controlled via the b-mating type locus. The b-mating type locus encodes two homeodomain transcription factors, bE and bW, which form an active heterodimeric complex when they are derived from different b-alleles. To identify genes regulated by the bE/bW transcription factor, changes in gene expression were monitored during a 12-h time course (0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 5h, 12h) in strains AB31 and AB33 that harbor the active combination bE1 and bW2 under the control of the arabinose-inducible crg1 promoter and the nitrate-inducible nar1 promoter, respectively (Brachmann et al., 2001, Mol Microbiol 42, 1047-1063). Induction of bE1/bW2 in these strains results in a filament that resembles the infectious dikaryotic hypha formed after fusion of compatible sporidia. Strains AB32 and AB34, which harbor the incompatible bE2 and bW2 combination, were used as controls. Strains were grown to an OD600 of 0.4-0.6 at 28°C in liquid array medium: 6.25% (w/v) salt solution, 30 mM L-glutamine, 1% (w/v) glucose, pH 7.0 (filter-sterilized). For induction of genes under control of the crg1 promoter (strains AB31 and AB32) cells were inoculated in liquid array medium containing 1% (w/v) arabinose instead of glucose as a carbon source. For induction of the nar1-promoter glutamine was exchanged by nitrate (3g KNO3/l) as the sole nitrogen source. For induction, cells were washed once with inducing medium; time point 0 h of the timecourse experiments corresponds to the first contact with inducing medium. Experiments were performed in two biological replicates for each time point.

clp1 induction

Project description:The clp1 gene is a b-dependent gene required for clamp formation during the biotrophic growth phase of U. maydis. The gene was induced by means of a fusion to the arabinose inducable crg1 promoter. To exclude effects from the b-mating type locus, the experiments were performed in strain JB1 carrying a deletion of the entire b-locus. Keywords: gene induction

Effect of clp1 induction on rbf1-dependent gene regulation

Project description:The clp1 gene is a b-regulated gene that is required for clamp formation during the biotrophic growth phase of U. maydis. Interaction studies demonstrated that Clp1 imnteracts with Rbf1, the central regulator of pathogenciity. To exclude b-dependent effects the experiments were performed in a b-null background to analyze clp1-depndent effects on rbf controlled gene regulation Strains UKH156 (nitrate inducible Rbf1 expression) and UKH164 (arabinose-inducible Clp1 and and nitrate-inducible Rbf1 expression) were grown for 12h in liquid array medium/nitrate/arabinose.

Gene expression data comparing rbf1 mutant and PSC overexpressing Drosophila eye imaginal discs

Project description:PSC overexpression can cause phenotypes specifically in an rbf1 mutant background, likely due to a sensitization to PSC-induced phenotypes. The goal of this study is to understand the interaction between rbf1 hypomorphic mutation and the overexpression of Polycomb group gene Posterior sex combs. We used Drosophila larval eye imaginal discs that were mutant for rbf1 or overexpressing PSC and compared these to control larval eye discs to assess changes in gene expression. We identified a common set of genes that are deregulated when rbf1 is mutated or when PSC is overexpressed. RNA was extracted from eye imaginal discs dissected from third instar Drosophila larvae. Samples were amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array. To better understand the effects of rbf1 mutation and PSC overexpression, we compared the gene expression of rbf1 mutant eye discs and eye discs overexpressing PSC to control eye discs.

Temperature-mediated inactivation of the b heterodimer during biotrophic development of U. maydis

Project description:In fungi, sexual compatibility is controlled by mating type loci that prevent self-fertilization. In the plant pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis, the b mating type locus encodes a pair of unrelated homeodomain proteins, termed bE and bW. After fusion of two compatible, haploid cells, the bE and bW proteins form a heterodimeric complex, but only if they are derived from different, compatible alleles. The active bE/bW complex is required and sufficient to initiate pathogenic development of U. maydis, which is prerequisite for sexual reproduction of the fungus. However, the role of the b heterodimer during later stages of pathogenic development was unclear. To analyze b function during in planta development, we generated a temperature-sensitive bE allele (bEts) encoding a protein with a single amino acid alteration at the border of the homeodomain. This mutation leads to a stop in pathogenic development at the restrictive temperature in planta, while bEts strains show normal development at permissive temperature. At restrictive temperature, hyphae develop enlarged, bulbous cells at their tips that contain multiple nuclei, indicating a severe defect in cell division. DNA array analysis of bEts mutant strains in planta revealed a b-dependent regulation of genes coding for secreted proteins that were shown to influence fungal virulence. Our data demonstrate that in U. maydis the b heterodimer is not only essential to establish the heterodikaryon after mating of two compatible sporidia and to initiate fungal pathogenicity, but also to sustain in planta proliferation and ensure sexual reproduction.
