Project description:A. nidulans kdmA encodes a member of the KDM4 family of jumonji histone demethylase proteins, highly similar to metazoan orthologues both within functional domains and in domain architecture. This family of proteins exhibits demethylase activity toward lysines 9 and 36 of histone H3 and plays a prominent role in gene expression and chromosome structure in many species. Mass spectrometry mapping of A. nidulans histones revealed that around 3% of bulk histone H3 carried trimethylated H3K9 (H3K9me3) but more than 90% of histones carried either H3K36me2 or H3K36me3. KdmA functions as H3K36me3 demethylase and has roles in transcriptional regulation. Genetic manipulation of KdmA levels is tolerated without obvious effect in most conditions, but strong phenotypes are evident under various conditions of stress. Transcriptome analysis revealed that M-bM-^@M-^S in submerged early and late cultures M-bM-^@M-^S between 25% and 30% of the genome is under KdmA influence, respectively. Transcriptional imbalance in the kdmA deletion mutant may contribute to the lethal phenotype observed upon exposure of mutant cells to low-density visible light on solid medium. While KdmA acts as transcriptional co-repressor of primary metabolism (PM) genes it is required for full expression of several genes involved in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (SM). Two strains, wild type and kdmA deletion, at two conditions, growth at primary (17h) and secondary (48h), were analyzed. Each sample was replicated.

Project description:Histone posttranslational modifications (HPTMs) are involved in regulating the synthesis of fungal bioactive compounds. The exact molecular mechanisms of the silencing/activation of secondary metabolism (SM) clusters by these epigenetic events however are not yet fully understood. This work applies a combined approach of quantitative mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify the chromatin landscape in two metabolic states: primary and secondary metabolism. Furthermore, to link the particular chromatin states to the expression of condition specific genes, genome wide transcriptome (RNA-seq) was performed. Strikingly, we found that silent A. nidulans SM clusters are free of repressive H3K9me3 though this heterochromatic mark forms distinguished peaks flanking the many SM clusters. In addition, silent SM clusters do not contain detectable levels of activating histone marks such as H3K4me3, H3K36me3 or H3Ac, which, to some extent, are established upon activation of the clusters. In order to investigate the function of dynamic H3K4 methylation/demethylation in transcription, we characterized the KdmB- Jarid1 family histone demethylase. The in vitro assay using heterologously expressed KdmB showed that it is an active demethylase; moreover, MS/MS as well ChIP-seq approaches revealed that it targets H3K4me3 in vivo mediating transcriptional repression. KdmB positively regulates the expression of 40% of A. nidulans SM genes and this function appears to be independent of its demethylase activity. Our bioinformatics approach revealed two states of H3K4me3 in A. nidulans genome: loci with low levels of this mark are more disposed to differential expression in response to environmental clues, while the genes marked by high H3K4me3 levels are constitutively transcribed in our experimental conditions. Taken together our data reveal important role of H3K4 methylation/demethylation in transcription regulation. Furthermore, this study presents the first genome-wide map of H3K4me3, H3K9me3, H3K36me3 and H3Ac in A. nidulans in different metabolic conditions. Two strains, wild type and kdmB deletion, at two conditions, growth at primary (17h) and secondary (48h), were analysed. Each sample was replicated.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Aspergillus nidulans OE::rsmA compared to wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA). A twelve array study using total RNA recovered from six separate cultures of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and six separate cultures of Aspergillus nidulans overexpressing rsmA (restorer of secondary metabolism A), using custom-designed, four-plex arrays. The experiment was divided into two runs. In the first run, three biological replicates each of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and Aspergillus nidulans carrying a plasmid overexpressing rsmA under the control of the gpdA promoter were assayed. In the second run, three biological replicates each of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and Aspergillus nidulans overexpressing rsmA at the native locus under the control of the gpdA promoter were assayed.

Project description:It was reported that deletion of gcnE in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans results in minor defects in primary metabolism and major defects in development and secondary metabolism. Here we unveil the role of GcnE in development. The A. nidulans strains used in this study were the wild type FGSC26 (biA1 veA1) and the M-bM-^HM-^FgcnE mutant. Strains were grown in complete liquid medium for 18 h at 37 M-BM-:C and then conidiation was induced by transferring the vegetative cultures to complete solid media.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Aspergillus nidulans AN1599 (PbcR) overexpression mutant, compared to the FGSC A4 wild-type strain. Overexpression of the Zn(II)2Cys6 –type transcription factor, AN1599.4 (PbcR, pimaradiene biosynthetic cluster regulator), activates a secondary metabolite gene cluster in Aspergillus nidulans. Activation of the pathway in Aspergillus nidulans lead to a production of ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene.
