Gene expression on different carbon sources in response to hxt1 deletion in Ustilago maydis

ABSTRACT: Plant pathogenic fungi cause massive crop losses and therefore, severe economic deficits. The smut Ustilago maydis, a ubiquitous pest of corn, is highly adapted to its host to parasitize on its organic carbon sources. Recently, we identified the U. maydis sucrose transporter Srt1 to be of crucial importance for biotrophic development. Here we report the identification of Hxt1, a further member of the U. maydis sugar transporter family, which is of importance for full fungal virulence. Hxt1 mainly utilizes the hexoses glucose, fructose and mannose, but with lower affinity also secondary carbon sources like galactose and xylose. Deletion of hxt1 in U. maydis reduces virulence and growth on hexoses, in contrast growth on the secondary carbon sources is enhanced. Expression analysis revealed that monosaccharide-dependent regulation of transcription is hampered in hxt1 deletion mutants, leading to the expression of genes involved in the metabolism of secondary sugars and in the initiation of pathogenicity. Thus, we propose that Hxt1 has a dual function as monosaccharide-transporter and -sensor. While Hxt1 aids the initiation of pathogenicity by sensing starvation conditions on the plant surface as a receptor, it feeds the fungus in planta as a transporter. To analyze expression changes of SG200 and SG200∆hxt1 both strains were grown in glutamine minimal array media supplemented with 1% glucose or 1 %xylose to an OD600 of 1.0 for 6 h, respectively. For each experiment two independent replicates were conducted.

Transcriptome analysis of a Ustilago maydis ust1 deletion mutant

Project description:Ustilago maydis, the causal agent of corn smut disease, is a dimorphic fungus alternating between a saprobic haploid budding form, and an obligate pathogenic filamentous dikaryon. Maize responds to U. maydis colonization by producing highly modified tumorous structures and it is only within these plant galls that the fungus sporulates giving rise to melanized sexual spores, the teliospores. Previously we identified a regulatory protein from the APSES family of transcription factors, which we named Ust1, whose absence in yeast cells led to filamentous growth and the production of highly pigmented spore-like structures in culture. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome of a ?ust1 deletion mutant. To identify genes potentially involved in the sporulation program, we carried out microarray analysis comparing a haploid U. maydis WT strain (1/2) and ust1 (14/25) in vitro. Wild-type and ?ust1 strains were grown in potato dextrose broth (PDB) for 48 h at 30oC. To allow effective comparison with other array data generated by U. maydis researchers, cells were then transferred to liquid array medium (6.25% Holiday salt solution, 30mM L-glutamine, 1% glucose, pH7.0, filter sterilized) at 30 C. Total RNA samples from WT 1/2 and ?ust1 mutant strains grown in array medium for 24 h (mutant’s filamentous phase), and 48 h (mutant’s spore-like structure formation phase) were extracted and purified (Sigma Spectrum Plant Total RNA Kit, Cat.No.STRN50). RNA was sent to NimbleGen, where it was reverse transcribed to cDNA and Cy3 labeled. The cDNA samples were hybridized, microarray chips scanned, and raw data normalized with appropriate controls.

Effect of clp1 induction on b-dependent gene regulation

Project description:The clp1 gene is a b-regulated gene that is required for clamp formation during the biotrophic growth phase of U. maydis. Clp1 expression blocks b-dependent filament formation and cell cycle arrest if co-induced with the b-heterodimer. Strains AB33 (control) and UMS84 were grown for the times indicated in array medium containing 3 g/l nitrate and 1% arabinose for the induction of nar1P- (bE1/bW2) and crg1P- (clp1) controlled gene expression. Samples were taken from two biological replicates each.

Controlled expression of compatible and incompatible combinations of Ustilago maydis b-mating type locus genes bE and bW

Project description:In the phytopathogenic Basidiomcete Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are tightly connected and controlled via the b-mating type locus. The b-mating type locus encodes two homeodomain transcription factors, bE and bW, which form an active heterodimeric complex when they are derived from different b-alleles. To identify genes regulated by the bE/bW transcription factor, changes in gene expression were monitored during a 12-h time course (0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 5h, 12h) in strains AB31 and AB33 that harbor the active combination bE1 and bW2 under the control of the arabinose-inducible crg1 promoter and the nitrate-inducible nar1 promoter, respectively (Brachmann et al., 2001, Mol Microbiol 42, 1047-1063). Induction of bE1/bW2 in these strains results in a filament that resembles the infectious dikaryotic hypha formed after fusion of compatible sporidia. Strains AB32 and AB34, which harbor the incompatible bE2 and bW2 combination, were used as controls. Strains were grown to an OD600 of 0.4-0.6 at 28°C in liquid array medium: 6.25% (w/v) salt solution, 30 mM L-glutamine, 1% (w/v) glucose, pH 7.0 (filter-sterilized). For induction of genes under control of the crg1 promoter (strains AB31 and AB32) cells were inoculated in liquid array medium containing 1% (w/v) arabinose instead of glucose as a carbon source. For induction of the nar1-promoter glutamine was exchanged by nitrate (3g KNO3/l) as the sole nitrogen source. For induction, cells were washed once with inducing medium; time point 0 h of the timecourse experiments corresponds to the first contact with inducing medium. Experiments were performed in two biological replicates for each time point.

Effect of rbf1 deletion during controlled expression of Ustilago maydis b-mating type locus genes bE1 and bW2

Project description:In the phytopathogenic Basidiomcete Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are tightly connected and controlled via the b-mating type locus. The b-mating type locus encodes two homeodomain transcription factors, bE and bW, which form an active heterodimeric complex when they are derived from different b-alleles. Rbf1 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that is expressed upon formation of an active bE/bW heterodimer. To analyse the dependency of b and rbf1, changes in gene expression were monitored in strain AB31 (Brachmann et al., 2001, Mol Microbiol 42, 1047-1063) and in the derivative AB31Δrbf1 in which rbf1 was deleted. AB31 harbours the active combination bE1 and bW2 under the control of the arabinose-inducible crg1 promoter. Samples were taken 3h, 5h and 12h after induction of bE/bW gene expression. Strain AB32, which harbors the incompatible bE2 and bW2 combination, was used as control. Strains were grown to an OD600 of 0.4-0.6 at 28°C in liquid array medium: 6.25% (w/v) salt solution, 30 mM L-glutamine, 1% (w/v) glucose, pH 7.0 (filter-sterilized). For induction of the bE and bW genes, cells were inoculated in liquid array medium containing 1% (w/v) arabinose instead of glucose as a carbon source. For induction, cells were washed once with inducing medium; time point 0 h of the time course experiments corresponds to the first contact with inducing medium. Experiments were performed in two biological replicates for each time point.

Effect of clp1 induction on rbf1-dependent gene regulation

Project description:The clp1 gene is a b-regulated gene that is required for clamp formation during the biotrophic growth phase of U. maydis. Interaction studies demonstrated that Clp1 imnteracts with Rbf1, the central regulator of pathogenciity. To exclude b-dependent effects the experiments were performed in a b-null background to analyze clp1-depndent effects on rbf controlled gene regulation Strains UKH156 (nitrate inducible Rbf1 expression) and UKH164 (arabinose-inducible Clp1 and and nitrate-inducible Rbf1 expression) were grown for 12h in liquid array medium/nitrate/arabinose.

Transcription profiling of maizeduring infection with Ustilago maydis

Project description:The fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis establishes a biotrophic relationship with its host plant maize. Hallmarks of the disease are large plant tumors in which fungal proliferation occurs. Plants have developed various defense pathways to cope with pathogens. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression during the infection process of Ustilago maydis in its host plant to get insights into the defense programs and the metabolic reprogramming needed to supply the fungus with nutrients. Experiment Overall Design: In three independent experiments plants were infected with the solopathogenic U. maydis strain SG200. Samples from infected leaves were taken at 12 and 24 hours post infection, as well as 2, 4 and 8 days post infection. Samples from uninfected control plants were taken at the same time points.
