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


ABSTRACT: 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.

In the phytopathogenic basidiomycete Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are tightly connected and controlled by the heterodimeric bE/bW transcription factor complex encoded by the b-mating type locus. The formation of the active bE/bW heterodimer leads to the formation of filaments, induces a G2 cell cycle arrest, and triggers pathogenicity. Here, we identify a set of 345 bE/bW responsive genes which show altered expression during these developmental changes; several of these gen  ...[more]
