The FlbA-regulated transcription factor FusR of Aspergillus niger is involved in production of fumonisin

ABSTRACT: Colonies of Aspergillus niger secrete proteins throughout the colony except for the sporulating zone. Inactivation of flbA results in colonies that are unable to reproduce asexually and that secrete proteins throughout the mycelium. In addition, the ΔflbA strain shows cell lysis and has thinner cell walls. This pleiotropic phenotype is associated with differential expression of 38 transcription factor genes. Here, the impact of inactivation of one of these regulatory genes, fusR, was assessed. Mycelium of ΔfusR and its control strain MA234.1 was subjected to whole genome expression analysis, which revealed that 10 out of 15 genes of the fumonisin biosynthetic gene cluster were strongly downregulated in ΔfusR.

Deletion of the FlbA-regulated transcription factor msnB of Aspergillus niger affects protein secretion

Project description:Colonies of Aspergillus niger secrete proteins throughout the colony except for the sporulating zone. Strains in which the sporulation gene flbA is deleted do not reproduce asexually and secrete proteins throughout the mycelium. Moreover, ΔflbA hyphae lyse and have thinner cell walls. This pleiotropic phenotype is associated with differential expression of 36 transcription factor genes, of which msnB was inactivated in this study. Whole genome expression analysis of wild-type and ΔmsnB colonies showed differential expression of genes encoding secreted proteins, genes involved in the oxidoreductive balance, and in (secondary) metabolism. Biomass formation, sporulation, and the secretome in the medium were not affected in strain ΔmsnB. In contrast, ΔmsnB secreted more protein when compared to wild type. Taken together, msnB affects protein secretion and is a potential lead for improving A. niger as a cell factory.

The FlbA-regulated predicted transcription factor rpnR of Aspergillus niger is involved in protein secretion and stress resistance

Project description:Proteins are secreted throughout the mycelium of Aspergillus niger except for the sporulating zone. Inactivation of flbA results in colonies that do not reproduce asexually and secrete proteins throughout the colony. Moreover, ΔflbA hyphae lyse and have thinner cell walls. This pleiotropic phenotype is associated with differential expression of 38 transcription factor genes, of which rpnR was inactivated in this study. Biomass formation and sporulation was not affected in strain ΔrpnR but protein secretion was severely reduced. Moreover, ΔrpnR showed decreased resistance to H2O2 and the unfolded protein response inducing agent dithiothreitol. The secretomes of ΔrpnR and wild type consisted of 342 and 367 proteins, respectively. Secretion of several CAZymes and proteins involved in cell wall remodeling was more strongly reduced when compared to other proteins within the secretome of ΔrpnR. Whole genome expression analysis of xylose-grown colonies showed that RpnR activates expression of ribosomal subunits as well as small secreted proteins. On the other hand, it inhibited expression of the genes encoding the arabinofuranosidases AbfA, AbfB and AbfE, as well as genes related to amino acid metabolism, xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism, lipid metabolism, and metabolism of cofactors and vitamins. Taken together, RpnR is involved in protein synthesis and may also be involved in cell wall architecture. Both functions could explain the reduced protein secretion and proteotoxic stress resistance in the deletion strain.

fumonisin biosynthesis

Project description:In the study, expression profiles in wild type and a fcc1 mutant were compared to identify genes with patterns of expression similar to the FUM genes. DNA microarrays were constructed with ESTs from cDNA libraries obtained from the fcc1 mutant and wild-type strain of F. verticillioides grown on maize kernels . By microarray methodology, gene expression was measured in the fcc1 mutant and the wild type during growth on maize and in a synthetic medium at pH 3 and 8. The results of the analysis provide potential candidate genes for future studies to determine their functional roles in fumonisin biosynthesis.

Transcriptome analysis of zones of colonies of the ΔflbA strain of Aspergillus niger

Project description:Gene expression was studied at the periphery, an intermediate zone, and the centre of wild-type and ∆flbA colonies using Affymetrix A. niger whole genome microarrays. We used Affymetrix GeneChip A. niger Geome Arrays and identifed up- and down-regulated genes that may account for the differences between wild-type and ΔflbA colonies.

Transcriptomic profiles of spleen in piglets exposed to Fumonisin B1

Project description:Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species. In mammals, this toxin causes multiple organ-specific damages. Among its multiple effects, FB1 promotes hepatotoxicity, is immunotoxic and alters the intestinal functions. Despite its inhibitory effect on de novo ceramide synthesis, the molecular mechanism of FB1 action and toxicity remain unclears. In order to explore the mechanism of FB1 toxicity, we analyzed the transcriptome of the spleen.
