Gene expression in a wild type strain (FGSC 2489) versus an Dime-2 strain (FGSC 17937) in Neurospora crassa during nitrogen starvation

ABSTRACT: The protein kinase Ime2 is known to have an important role in meiosis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the Neurospora crassa IME2 homolog functions in self/nonself recognition as well as in the development of fungal sexual structures called protoperithecia. In N. crassa, protoperithecia are induced upon nitrogen starvation. We were interested in gene expression differences between an ime-2 deletion strain and a wild type strain, and due to the role of ime-2 during sexual development, carried out these arrays on media that was lacking in nitrogen. There is one condition and three samples in this experiment (wild type and Dime-2 strains grown on minimal media lacking nitrogen), and dye swaps were performed

Neurospora crassa early sexual development with MTP priming

Project description:Multi-targeting priming (MTP) for genome-wide gene expression assays provides selective targeting of multiple sequences and counter-selection against undesirable sequences. We demonstrated superior performance of two MTPs compared to oligo-dT microarray profling and RNA tag sequencing the response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to nitrogen deficiency and profiling Neurospora crassa early sexual development. Priming with MTPs in addition to oligo-dT resulted in higher sensitivity, a greater number of well-measured genes, more genes significantly differentially expressed, and a greater power to detect meager differences.

Transcriptome analysis of a Sordaria macrospora nox1 mutant

Project description:The Sordaria macrospora nox1 mutant has a block in sexual development at the stage of protoperithecia formation, and therefore is sterile. The aim of this study was to determine the transcriptome of microdissected protoperithecia from the mutant, as well as the transcriptomes of total RNA from the mutant and the wild type for comparison. The data were then compared with transcriptome data from protoperithecia of the wild type and the developemental mutant pro1; the corresponding data were generated in a previous study (Teichert et al. 2012, BMC Genomics 13: 511, GEO accession GSE33668). The samples (amplified RNA from nox1 microdissected protoperithecia and total RNA from nox1 and wild type mycelia undergoing sexual development) were sequenced as paired-end reads on an Illumina HiSeq 2000, two independent biological replicates for each nox1 sample and one replicate for the wild type.

Transcriptional profiling of the Neurospora crassa Δcre-1 mutant (FGSC 10372) compared to the wild type strain (FGSC 2489) in response to minimal medium or Avicel medium

Project description:In filamentous ascomycete fungi, the utilization of alternate carbon sources is influenced by the zinc finger transcription factor CreA/CRE-1, which encodes a carbon catabolite repressor protein homologous to Mig1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In Neurospora crassa, deletion of cre-1 results in increased secretion of amylase and β-galactosidase. Here, we determined the CRE-1 regulon by investigating the transcriptome of a Δcre-1 strain compared to wild type when grown on Avicel versus minimal medium (MM). Our data provide comprehensive information on the CRE-1 regulon in N. crassa and contribute to deciphering the global role of carbon catabolite repression in filamentous ascomycete fungi during plant cell wall deconstruction. Two-condition experiment (minimal medium vs. Avicel medium) of the Δcre-1 mutant strain compared to the wild type strain. Cy3 and Cy5 dye swaps were performed.

Combining laser microdissection and RNA-seq to chart the transcriptional landscape of fungal development

Project description:RNA-seq analysis of developmental stages from the filamenous ascomycete Sordaria macrospora. Using laser capture microdissection, we separated protoperithecia (young fruiting bodies) from the surrounding hyphae. RNA isolation and amplification from 150 protoperithecia yields enough material for RNA-seq analysis. The resulting data were compared to RNA-seq data from whole mycelial exctracts (total vegetative and total sexual mycelium) to characterize the genome-wide spatial distribution of gene expression during sexual development. We analyzed total vegetative mycelium, total sexual mycelium, and protoperithecia from the wild type as well as protoperithecia from the sterile mutant pro1. Additionally, we used the RNA-seq information to improve the predicted S. macrospora gene models, and annotated UTRs for more than 50 % of the genes. 8 samples were sequenced (2 independent biological replicates for the four conditions "wt sex: SM2, SM7", "wt veg: SM1, SM6", "wt proto: SM4, SM5", "pro1 proto: SM8, SM9", each on one Illumina/Solexa lane (GAII or HiSeq, single reads of 36 or 100 bases))

The role of photoreceptors in the light modulated cellulase gene expression in Neurospora crassa

Project description:Light represents an important environmental cue, which exerts considerable influence on the metabolism of fungi. Studies with the biotechnological fungal workhorse Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) have revealed an interconnection between transcriptional regulation of cellulolytic enyzmes and the light response. The filamentous fungus, Neurospora crassa, has been used as a model organism to study light and circadian rhythm biology. We therefore investigated whether light also regulates transcriptional regulation of cellulolytic enzymes in N. crassa. We show that the N. crassa photoreceptor genes wc-1, wc-2 and vvd are involved in regulation of cellulase gene expression, indicating that this phenomenon is conserved among filamentous fungi. Genome wide analysis of photoreceptor mutants and evaluation of results by analysis of mutant strains identified several candidate genes likely to play a role in light modulated cellulase gene expression. Three deletion strains (delta-wc-1 (FGSC 11712), delta-wc-2 (FGSC 11124) and delta-vvd (FGSC 11556)) and the wild type strain (FGSC 2489) at two different timepoints (28h or 40h) were analyzed. Cy3 and Cy5 dye swaps were performed.

Gene expression levels in three Neurospora species reveal genes crucial for sexual reproduction in Neurospora tetrasperma

Project description:Many fungi form complex three-dimensional fruiting bodies, within which the meiotic machinery for sexual spore production has been considered to be largely conserved over evolutionary time. Indeed, much of what we know about meiosis in plant and animal taxa has been deeply informed by studies of meiosis in Saccharomyces and Neurospora. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of fruiting body development and its regulation in relation to meiosis in fungi is barely known, even within the best studied multicellular fungal model Neurospora crassa. We characterized morphological development and genome-wide transcriptomics in the closely related species Neurospora crassa, Neurospora tetrasperma, and Neurospora discreta, across eight stages of sexual development. Despite diverse life histories within the genus, all three species produce vase-shaped perithecia. Transcriptome sequencing provided gene expression levels of 2479 orthologous genes among all three species. Expression of key meiosis genes and sporulation genes, corresponded to developmental differences among these Neurospora species during sexual development. Screening N. crassa knockout crosses of genes selected for their expression differences across species, eight genes, whose functions were previously unknown, are found to be critical for the successful formation of perithecia. The absence of these genes in mutant crosses resulted in either no perithecium formation or in arrested development at an early stage. Our results provide insight into the genetic basis of Neurospora sexual reproduction, which is also of great importance with regard to other multicelluar ascomycetes, including fungal pathogens closely related to Neurospora in the Sordariomycetes, such as Fusarium spp, Magnaporthe oryzae, and Nectria haematococca mRNA were sampled and compared from eight time points across sexual reproduction in three Neurospora species
