Project description:In the fungi Fusarium fujikuroi and Fusarium oxysporum, the induction of carotenogenesis by light and its deregulation in carS mutants, affected in a protein of the RING-finger family, are achieved on transcription of the structural genes of the pathway, some of them organized in a cluster. We have carried out global RNAseq transcriptomics analyses to investigate the relationship between the regulatory effects of light and the carS mutation. Either illumination or the absence of a functional carS gene exert wide effects on the transcriptome of F. fujikuroi, with a predominance of activated over repressed genes, and a greater functional diversity in the case of genes induced by light. The number of the latter decreases drastically in the carS mutant, indicating that the deregulation produced by the carS mutation affects the light response of many genes. In addition, light and CarS strongly influence the expression of some genes associated with stress responses. The effects of light and carS mutation on the F. oxysporum transcriptome were partially coincident with those in F. fujikuroi, indicating conservation of the objectives of their regulatory mechanisms. In conclusion, the CarS RING finger protein down-regulates many genes whose expression is up-regulated by light in the wild-type strains of the two Fusarium species investigated, indicating regulatory connections between the control by light and by the CarS protein.

Project description:RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms play key regulatory roles in many biological systems, and components of the RNAi pathway are conserved in a wide range of eukaryotic genomes, including those of filamentous fungi. The biotechnological fungus Fusarium fujikuroi, widely used in secondary metabolism studies, contains the complete set of genes expected for RNAi pathways, including dcl1 and dcl2 dicer genes. We have analyzed by means of a high-throughput sequencing technology the content of sRNAs in F. fujikuroi grown in the dark or after one hour of illumination. For comparative purposes, the study was extended to the phytopathogenesis model Fusarium oxysporum, grown under the same conditions. Total RNA samples from each species and growth condition were used to construct RNA libraries, which were subjected to massive sequencing. sRNA preparations included a size cut-off below 150 nt, which covered sRNAs and their precursors. The size distributions and 5' nucleotide preferences of the sRNA reads showed a higher proportion of 5' uracil in the RNA samples of the expected sizes in both species, more noticeable in F. fujikuroi, indicating the occurrence of genuine sRNAs. Consistently, the number of sRNAs mapped at CDS loci was significantly higher in F. fujikuroi compared to F. oxysporum. F. fujikuroi carries at least one transcriptionally expressed copy of a Ty1/copia-like retrotransposable element, in which sRNAs were found in both sense and antisense DNA strands, whereas in F. oxysporum Skippy-like elements are expressed and show siRNA formation. The finding of sRNA in these mobile elements is an indication of an active siRNA-based RNAi pathway. The dcl2 deletion mutants did not show phenotypic alterations or changes in their global transcriptome, while no dcl1 deletion mutants could be obtained.

Project description:Carotenoid biosynthesis in the fungus Fusarium fujikuroi is regulated by environmental factors, with light as the main stimulating signal. The CarS RING finger protein plays an important role downregulating the structural genes of the carotenoid pathway. A recent transcriptomic analysis on the effect of carS mutation identified a gene for a lncRNA upstream of carS, called carP, whose deletion results in increased levels of carS mRNA and lack of carotenoid production. We have investigated the function of carP by studying the transcriptomic effect of its deletion and the phenotypes resulting from the reintroduction of carP to a deletion strain. RNA-seq data showed that the loss of carP affected the mRNA levels of hundreds of genes, especially after illumination. Many of these changes appeared to be cascade effects as a result of changes in carS expression, as suggested the comparison with differentially expressed genes in the carS mutant. Carotenoid production was only recovered when carP was transcribed upstream of carS, but not at other genomic locations, indicating a cis-acting mechanism of action on carS. However, some genes hardly affected by CarS were strongly upregulated in the carP mutant, indicating that carP may have other regulatory functions as an independent regulatory element

Project description:Fusarium oxysporum causes Fusarium wilt syndrome in more than 120 different plant hosts, including globally important crops such as tomato, cotton, banana, melon, etc. F. oxysporum shows high host specificity in over 150 formae speciales and have been ranked in the top 10 plant fungal pathogens. Although three PMTs encoded by the pmt1, pmt2, and pmt4 are annotated in the genome of F. oxysporum, their functions have not been reported. As O-mannosylation is not found in plants, a comprehensive understanding of PMTs in F. oxysporum becomes attractive for the development of new strategy against Fusarium wilt. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of the differential functions of three PMTs, a comparative O-glycoproteome analysis of the pmt mutants were carried out.

Project description:The colonization of Capsicum annuum roots by Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 induces resistance responses on the plant. Fo47 is a non-pathogenic strain of Fusarium oxysporum. Fo47 colonizes only the most outer layers of the root surface but it does not colonize inner tissues. Pre-treatment of roots with Fo47 reduces the symptom development produced by later pathogen inoculation. The expression of genes in distal tissues was determined by microarray analysis of stems of Fo47-treated plants. Capsicum annuum samples were analyzed using Affymetrix chips of the close-related species Solanum lycopersicum.
