Temporal analysis of the magnaporthe oryzae proteome during conidial germination and cyclic AMP (cAMP)-mediated appressorium formation.

ABSTRACT: Rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most serious threats to global rice production. During the earliest stages of rice infection, M. oryzae conidia germinate on the leaf surface and form a specialized infection structure termed the appressorium. The development of the appressorium represents the first critical stage of infectious development. A total of 3200 unique proteins were identified by nanoLC-MS/MS in a temporal study of conidial germination and cAMP-induced appressorium formation in M. oryzae. Using spectral counting based label free quantification, observed changes in relative protein abundance during the developmental process revealed changes in the cell wall biosynthetic machinery, transport functions, and production of extracellular proteins in developing appressoria. One hundred and sixty-six up-regulated and 208 down-regulated proteins were identified in response to cAMP treatment. Proteomic analysis of a cAMP-dependent protein kinase A mutant that is compromised in the ability to form appressoria identified proteins whose developmental regulation is dependent on cAMP signaling. Selected reaction monitoring was used for absolute quantification of four regulated proteins to validate the global proteomics data and confirmed the germination or appressorium specific regulation of these proteins. Finally, a comparison of the proteome and transcriptome was performed and revealed little correlation between transcript and protein regulation. A subset of regulated proteins were identified whose transcripts show similar regulation patterns and include many of the most strongly regulated proteins indicating a central role in appressorium formation. A temporal quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirmed a strong correlation between transcript and protein abundance for some but not all genes. Collectively, the data presented here provide the first comprehensive view of the M. oryzae proteome during early infection-related development and highlight biological processes important for pathogenicity.

Project description:Regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins exhibit GTPase-accelerating protein activities to govern G-protein function. In the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, there is a family of at least eight RGS and RGS-like proteins (MoRgs1 to MoRgs8), each exhibiting distinct or shared functions in the growth, appressorium formation, and pathogenicity. MoRgs3 recently emerged as one of the crucial regulators that senses intracellular oxidation during appressorium formation. To explore this unique regulatory mechanism of MoRgs3, we identified the nucleoside diphosphate kinase MoNdk1 that interacts with MoRgs3. MoNdk1 phosphorylates MoRgs3 under induced intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, and MoRgs3 phosphorylation is required for appressorium formation and pathogenicity. In addition, we showed that MoRgs3 phosphorylation determines its interaction with MoCrn1, a coronin-like actin-binding protein homolog, which regulates MoRgs3 internalization. Finally, we provided evidence demonstrating that MoRgs3 functions in MoMagA-mediated cAMP signaling to regulate normal appressorium induction. By revealing a novel signal perception mechanism, our studies highlighted the complexity of regulation during the appressorium function and pathogenicity of the blast fungus.ImportanceWe report that MoRgs3 becomes phosphorylated in an oxidative intracellular environment during the appressorium formation stage. We found that this phosphorylation is carried out by MoNdk1, a nucleoside diphosphate kinase. In addition, this phosphorylation leads to a higher binding affinity between MoRgs3 and MoCrn1, a coronin-like actin-binding protein that was implicated in the endocytic transport of several other RGS proteins of Magnaporthe oryzae. We further found that the internalization of MoRgs3 is indispensable for its GTPase-activating protein function toward the Gα subunit MoMagA. Importantly, we characterized how such cellular regulatory events coincide with cAMP signaling-regulated appressorium formation and pathogenicity in the blast fungus. Our studies uncovered a novel intracellular reactive oxygen species signal-transducing mechanism in a model pathogenic fungus with important basic and applied implications.
