Transcriptional responses of Rhizopus microsporus host and non-host isolates to physical interaction with Burkholderia endobacteria of the host

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to identify fungal gene expression changes during early stages of symbiosis establishment with its Burkholderia endosymbionts. Results: Leveraging this RNA-seq dataset we identified fungal genes utilized for symbiosis establishment with bacteria.

Light restores sporulation in cured Rhizopus microsporus of its endosymbionts unveilling their role in virulence

Project description:Rhizopus microsporus is one of the most common agents of mucormycosis, a severe and emerging infection caused by Mucorales fungi that poses a significant clinical challenge, particularly due to the growing population of immunocompromised individuals. An substantial proportion of clinical isolates harbor bacterial endosymbionts, which regulate key fungal functions, such asexual sporulation. The strict dependence on endosymbionts for spore formation has limited a comprehensive understanding of endosymbiosis in R. microsporus biology. Here, we demonstrate that sporulation in endosymbiont-cured strains of this fungus, which previously harbored Mycetohabitans bacteria, can be induced by light. Interestingly, both light and endosymbionts regulate sporulation through the same regulatory pathway, and a high proportion of the genes upregulated by these signals are known to be involved in asexual sporulation in other fungi, including Mucorales. Light-induced sporulation enabled comparative assays to assess the impact of symbiosis on fungal traits. In addition to previously known effects on fungal fitness, this study reveals that germination is independent of endosymbionts, although their presence accelerates the process. Furthermore, it shows that asexual spores lacking endosymbionts exhibit a reduced virulence in a mouse model of mucormycosis. The discovery of light-induced sporulation in endosymbiont-free strains of R. microsporus paves the way for future comparative studies using genetically identical backgrounds, advancing our understanding of fungal-bacterial symbiosis and its role in fungal biology and human pathogenesis.

Bacterial endosymbionts control host sexuality and reveal reproductive genes of early divergent fungi

Project description:Through transcriptome profiling using RNA-seq, we investigated the mechanisms behind bacterial endosymbiont (Burkholderia rhizoxinica) control over host (Rhizopus microsporus) reproductive biology. By analyzing differential expression across six different conditions, including fungal opposite mates growing independently with or without endosymbionts, as well as opposite mates growing together with endosymbionts (mating) or without endosymbionts (no mating), we were able to identify that endosymbionts control expression of a Ras signaling protein critical for sexual reproduction in many fungi (Ras2). As little is known regarding sexual reproduction in Mucoromycotina, we also used these data to investigate conservation of sex-related genes across all fungi, as well as predict potential genes involved in sensing of trisporic acid, the mating pheromone used by these fungi. 6 different conditions were analyzed, each consisting of two biological replicates. These included Rhizopus microsporus ATCC52813 (sex +) growing alone with endosymbionts, R. microsporus ATCC52814 (sex -) growing alone with endosymbionts, ATCC 52813 growing alone without endosymbionts, ATCC52814 growing alone without endosymbionts, ATCC52813 and ATCC52814 growing together with endosymbionts (successfully mating), and ATCC52813 and ATCC52814 growing together without endosymbionts (failure to mate). In each condition, fungi were cultivated on half-strength PDA and plugs of mycelium were placed at the edge of the plate. After 6 days, approximately 2.5 cm of tissue were harvested from the center of the plate. Each biological replicate consists of 5 plates which were pooled prior to RNA extraction to ensure sufficient tissue was collected.
