Project description:Certain wood decay basidiomycetes, collectively referred to as brown-rot fungi rapidly depolymerize cellulose while leaving behind the bulk of cell wall lignin as a modified residue. The mechanism(s) employed are unclear, but considerable evidence implicates the involvement of diffusible oxidants, particularly hydroxyl radical. Toward a better understanding of this process, we have examined the transcriptome and secretome of Wolfiporia cocos when cultivated on media containing glucose, purified crystalline cellulose, aspen (Populus grandidentata) or lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) as sole carbon source. Compared to glucose, 39, 331 and 357 genes exhibited 4-fold increases in transcript levels in cellulose, aspen and lodgepole pine, respectively. Mass spectrometry identified peptides corresponding to 64 glycoside hydrolase (GH) proteins and, of these, 17 corresponded to transcripts upregulated on one or both woody substrates. Most of these genes were broadly categorized as hemicellulases or chitinases. Consistent with an important role for ·OH in cellulose depolymerization, high transcript levels and upregulation were observed for genes involved in iron homeostasis, iron reduction and extracellular peroxide generation. These patterns of regulation differ markedly from the closely related brown rot fungus, Postia placenta, and expand the number of enzymes potentially involved in the oxidative depolymerization of cellulose.

Medium containing glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, ground aspen or ground lodgepole pine was inoculated with W. cocos. RNA was purified from cultures. Single read 100 bp Illumina runs were performed.

Project description:Brown rot fungi evolved the unique strategy to efficiently decay wood structures and selectively extract carbohydrates, and this involved the sophistical regulation of functional genes (Zhang et al., PNAS, 2016, 113: 10968-). However, the regulatory mechanisms of brown rot genes were not well known, impeding the implication and application of brown rot machinery in biomass conversions. In this work, we systematically studied the roles of environmental carbon signals (e.g., aspen, cellobiose, glucose and no-carbon) in regulating gene expression in model brown rot fungus Postia placenta by RNA-seq. We found the complex substrate aspen (Populus sp.), but not the commonly recognized disaccharide cellobiose, was the universal inducer for Carbohydrate Active Enzymes (CAZYs) expression. Even though, cellobiose clearly induced the expression of cellulase (GH5 and GH12, endoglucanase) and xylanase (GH10, endoxylanase) (cellobiose vs. no-carbon, fold change > 4), as we reported previously (Zhang and Schilling, FGB, 2017, 106: 1-). When response to easy to use carbons, P. placenta lost the CCR effect on the main-chain cleaving CAZYs expression, but kept this repressing effect on side-chain cleaving CAZYs and AAs, which indicated a clear adaption relative to that in saprotrophic ascomycete ancestors. This “loss of CCR effect” was independent of the glucose concentrations. To explore the distinctive brown rot regulatory machinery, the gene modules subjected to inducing or CCR effects were then used to predict the regulatory motifs and transcriptional factors to build the regulatory network in P. placenta. Together, these findings will facilitate us to understand the adaptions of regulatory elements in brown rot fungi, as well as the efficient brown rot strategy.

Project description:The brown rot wood decay fungus, Fomitopsis pinicola strain FP-58527, was cultivated for five dayes in media containing ground Populus tremuloides, Pinus taeda or Picea glauca wood as sole carbon source. Extracellular proteomic component was extracted and analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
