Proteogenomics of Venturia pirina

ABSTRACT: This dataset relates to a proteogenomic analysis for Venturia pirina, a fungus that causes scab disease on European pear (Pyrus communis). V. pirina is host specific and infection is thought to be mediated by small, secreted effector proteins. To focus on these effectors we analysed extracts from V. pirina grown in vitro, on cellophane sheets, that mimics the growth habit in infected leaves. LC-MS/MS data was queried against a protein database generated by combining in-silico predicted transcripts with six-frame translations of a whole genome sequence for V. pirina.

A proteogenomic analysis is presented for Venturia pirina, a fungus that causes scab disease on European pear (Pyrus communis). V. pirina is host-specific, and the infection is thought to be mediated by secreted effector proteins. Currently, only 36 V. pirina proteins are catalogued in GenBank, and the genome sequence is not publicly available. To identify putative effectors, V. pirina was grown in vitro on and in cellophane sheets mimicking its growth in infected leaves. Secreted extracts were ...[more]

Project description:Purpose: The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) coordinates responses leading to desiccation tolerance in all land plants. RNA-seq was employed to obtain differential expression data in response to ABA, dehydration and mannitol treatments in wild-type tissue. This was compared against the targeted gene knockout line PpanrKO. The ANR gene encodes a novel ABA regulator identified from ABA non-responsive (anr) mutant screens. Methods: RNA-seq on the Illumina HiSeq platform and mapping to the V3.0 genome and transcriptome assemblies using tophat2 enabled gene abundance data to be generated for differential gene expression analysis with edgeR in the Trinity package. Results: We observe a coordinated up-regulation of ca. 900 genes, with extensive overlaps between hormone and stress treatments as well as ca. 900 down-regulated genes. Of the up-regulated genes, those encoding LEA proteins, membrane channel proteins and transporters and oxidative-stress-associated genes comprised a significant fraction while those encoding growth-associated cell wall enzymes (e.g. expansins) and components of secondary metabolism (notably enzymes in the phenylpropanoid pathway) were prominent in the down-regulated genes. The ANR gene, a modular MAP3 kinase comprising an N-terminal PAS domain, a central EDR domain and a C-terminal MAPKKK-like domain unique to basal plant lineages, is found to play a central role in these responses with mutants failing to accumulate the wide spectrum of dehydration tolerance-associated gene products characteristic of the wild-type response and do not acquire ABA-dependent desiccation tolerance. Conclusions: Our study adds considerable data to the stress responses in bryophytes helping understand the mechanisms behind vegetative dehydration tolerance; an important trait for crop species. We also confirmed the vital role that PpANR plays in these responses in the moss Physcomitrella patens likely representing an ancestral mechanism for ABA-mediated dehydration tolerance vital in the conquest of land. RNA from 3 biological replicas was bulked per library. 8 libraries were generated from two genotypes, wild-type and PpanrkO, which included 3 treatments and a control sample for each.

Project description:Combating the action of plant pathogenic microorganisms by antagonistic or mycoparasitic fungi has been announced as an attractive biological alternative to the use of chemical fungicides since more than 20 years, and gains additional importance in current trends to environmentally friendly agriculture. Taxa of the fungal genus Hypocrea/Trichoderma (Ascomycota, Hypocreales, Hypocreaceae) contain prominent examples of such biocontrol agents, because they not only antagonize plant-pathogenic fungi, but are also often rhizosphere competent and can enhance plant growth. Identification of the primary factors that regulate the mycoparasitic behaviour and metabolic activities related to it will therefore allow the full ecological significance of this trait to be explored. We performed the analysis of the genome sequence from two mycoparasitic and rhizosphere competent Trichoderma spp. – T. atroviride and T. virens – and compare it to that of the saprophyte T. reesei. The predicted gene inventory of the T. atroviride and T.virens genome, therefore, points to previously unknown mechanisms operating during biocontrol of plant pathogens. The availability of these genomes provides a unique opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the processes fundamental to mycoparasitism and its application for the breeding of improved biocontrol strains for plant protection. To investigate the potential role in mycoparasitism, microarrays were used to examine T. virens transcript levels when confronted with a potential prey (the plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani) before contact, during first physical contact and during overgrowth of the host. The study presented here is the result of this analysis. Two biological pools by condition against a common reference control each sample hybridized in dye switch. On the two biological replicates we apply on the pretreated results the linear modeling approach implemented by lmFit and the empirical Bayes statistics implemented by eBayes from the limma R package (Smyth 2004). For mycoparasitism confrontation assays T. virens was grown on potato dextrose agar plates (BD Dicfo, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), covered with cellophane, in constant light at 25°C and harvested when the mycelia were ca. 5 mm apart (before contact), at contact of the mycelia and after T. virens had overgrown the host fungus Rhizoctonia solani by ca. 5 mm (after contact). As control T. virens was confronted with itself and harvested at contact. Peripheral hyphal zones from each confrontation stage were harvested and shock frozen in liquid nitrogen. Mycelia were ground to a fine powder under liquid nitrogen and total RNA was isolated using the guanidinium thiocyanate method (Sambrook, 2001).
