Time series transcriptome of Venturia inaequalis (apple scab) infecting Malus domestica (apple)

ABSTRACT: V. inaequalis causes apple scab disease, the most economically important disease of apples. In this study, we generated a comprehensive RNA-seq transcriptome of V. inaequalis during host colonization of apple, with six in planta time points (12hpi, 24hpi, 2dpi, 3dpi, 5dpi, 7dpi) and one in culture reference (fungus grown on cellophane membranes overlaying potato dextrose agar). Analysis of this transcriptome identified five in planta gene expression clusters or waves corresponding to three specific infection stages: early, mid and mid-late infection of subcuticular biotrophic host-colonization. In our analysis we focus on general fungal nutrition (plant cell wall degrading enzymes and transporters) as well as effectors (proteinaceous effectors and secondary metabolites). Early infection was characterized by the expression of genes that encode plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) and proteins associated with oxidative stress responses. Mid-late infection was characterized by genes that encode PCWDEs and effector candidates (ECs).

Project description:Escherichia coli O157:H7 has caused serious outbreaks of foodborne illness via transmission in a variety of food vehicles, including unpasteurized apple juice, dried salami, and spinach. To understand how this pathogen responds to the multiple stresses of the food environment, we compared global transcription patterns after exposure to apple juice. Transcriptomes of mid-exponential and stationary phase cells were evaluated after 10 minutes in model apple juice (pH3.5) using microarrays probing 4,886 ORFs. Significant changes in gene expression were determined using R/MAANOVA and the Fs test. A total of 331 ORFs were significantly induced upon exposure of cells to model apple juice and included genes involved in the acid and osmotic stress responses as well as the oxidative stress response and envelope stress. Genes involved in the acid and osmotic stress responses, including asr, osmC, osmB, and osmY were significantly induced in response to model apple juice. Genes involved in the envelope stress response, known to be controlled by CpxR (cpxP, degP, and htpX), were significantly induced 2 to 15 fold upon exposure to apple juice, independent of growth phase. Inactivation of CpxRA resulted in a significant decrease in survival of O157:H7 in model apple juice compared to the isogenic parent strain. Of the 331 ORFs induced in model apple juice, 104 are O157-specific ORFs, including those encoding type three secretion effectors espJ, espB, espM2, espL3 and espZ. By elucidating the response of O157:H7 to acidic foods, we hope to gain insights into how this pathogen is able to survive in food matrices and how exposure to foods affects subsequent transmission and virulence. Keywords: stress The results are based on O157:H7 Sakai exponential and stationary phase cultures grown in MOPS minimal medium and then exposed to model apple juice (pH 3.5, 37C) for 10 minutes. Differences in transcript levels were determined using a mixed model ANOVA in R/MAANOVA which tested for significant differences due to growth phase (exponential or stationary), treatment (MOPS or MAJ) and the interaction of these two factors using the following linear model: array+dye+sample (biological replicate)+ phase+treatment+phase*treatment. We incorporated the dye-swaps among the biological replicates.
