Genome-wide mapping of H3K4 tri-methylation in ΔUvkmt2 mutant strain of Ustilaginoidea virens

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic modification is important for cellular functions. Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3), which associates with transcriptional activation, is one of the important epigenetic modifications. In this study, the biological functions of UvKmt2-mediated H3K4me3 modification were characterized in Ustilaginoidea virens, which is the causal agent of the false smut disease, one of the most destructive diseases in rice. Phenotypic analyses of the ΔUvkmt2 mutant revealed that UvKMT2 is necessary for growth, conidiation, secondary spore formation, and virulence in U. virens. Immunoblotting and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) showed that UvKMT2 is required for the establishment of H3K4me3, which covers 1729 genes of the genome in U. virens. In particular, H3K4me3 modification involves in the transcriptional regulation of conidiation-related and pathogenic genes. The down-regulation of UvHOG1 and UvPMK1 genes may be one of the main reasons for the reduced pathogenicity and stresses adaptability of the ∆Uvkmt2 mutant. Overall, H3K4me3, established by histone methyltransferase UvKMT2, contributes to fungal development, secondary spore formation, virulence, and various stresses response through transcriptional regulation in U. virens.

TMT-based quantitative proteomics analysis reveals the function of ester cyclase in the rice false smut fungus Ustilaginoidea virens

Project description:Rice false smut is a world-wide fungal disease caused by Ustilaginoidea virens. In this study, we found an ester cyclase, UvEC1, was significantly up-regulated during U. virens infection. UvEC1 contained a ketone cyclase Snoal-like polyketide cyclase domain and the functions of this important class of proteins in plant fungal pathogens remain unclear. Deletion of UvEC1 caused defects in vegetative growth and conidiation. UvEC1 is also required for response to hyperosmotic and oxidative stresses, and maintenance of cell wall integrity. Importantly, the ∆UvEC1 mutants exhibited reduced virulence. We performed an TMT-based quantitative proteomic analysis to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between ∆UvEC1-1 mutant and the wild type HWD-2. Proteomic data have revealed that UvEC1 have various effects on metabolism process, localization, catalytic activity, binding and spliceosome. Taken together, our findings suggest that UvEC1 is critical for development and virulence of U. virens.

Proteomic analysis of mycelial exudate of Ustilaginoidea virens

Project description:Rice false smut (RFS) is a kind of fungal disease transforming panicles and spikelets into greenish spore balls, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens. During artificial cultivation process, macroscopic exudates could be observed, which is a common feature in many kinds of fungi. We characterized the proteome of exudate associated with this plant pathogen. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis was used to identify proteins in the pathogen exudate. A total of 685 proteins comprising 3,949 peptides were identified from the exudate. This study regarded the biological characteristics of U. virens as an entry point. By studying the protein components of the exudates of U. virens, it is helpful to better understand the occurrence and pathogenic mechanism of pathogen and provide a theoretical basis for the control of RFS.

Differential expression profiling of Ustilaginoidea virens in resistant and susceptible rice varieties during early infection

Project description:To understand pathogenicity and in planta transcriptional reprogramming, expression profiles of U. virens during infection of the resistant and susceptible cultivars were analyzed using RNA-seq data. Predicted host-pathogen interaction database (PHI-base) genes that are probably involved in host-pathogen interactions were found to be significantly enriched in fungal differential expressed genes from both rice genotypes, indicating their potential roles in pathogenicity of U.virens. Our results also indicate that genes for secreted proteins and secondary metabolism are highly enriched in the transcriptome during early infection of susceptible cultivars. GO enrichment analysis suggest that bilogical processes required for successful infection of U. virens are greatly suppressed in the resistant cultivars.

Tandem mass tags (TMT)–based quantitative proteomics approach quantified in 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation site of rice spikelets and Ustilaginoidea virens by mass spectrometry.

Project description:Rice false smut, caused by the pathogenic ascomycete fungus Ustilaginoidea virens (teleomorph: Villosiclava virens), is one of the most devastating grain diseases in the majority of rice-growing areas of the world. Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) is a novel post-translational modification (PTM), which plays an important role in active gene transcription and cellular proliferation in eukaryotes. However, its function remains unknown in phytopathogens and plant. Here, we report a comprehensive identification of Khib in rice false smut fungus Ustilaginoidea virens and rice. By using a tandem mass tags (TMT)–based quantitative proteomics approach, 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation sites were identified in U. virens and rice.
