Molecular cloning of chitinase 33 (chit33) gene from Trichoderma atroviride.

ABSTRACT: In this study Trichoderma atroviride was selected as over producer of chitinase enzyme among 30 different isolates of Trichoderma sp. on the basis of chitinase specific activity. From this isolate the genomic and cDNA clones encoding chit33 have been isolated and sequenced. Comparison of genomic and cDNA sequences for defining gene structure indicates that this gene contains three short introns and also an open reading frame coding for a protein of 321 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence includes a 19 aa putative signal peptide. Homology between this sequence and other reported Trichoderma Chit33 proteins are discussed. The coding sequence of chit33 gene was cloned in pEt26b(+) expression vector and expressed in E. coli.

Eight new peptaibols from sponge-associated Trichoderma atroviride.

Project description:Eight new and four known peptaibols were isolated from a strain of the fungus, Trichoderma atroviride (NF16), which was cultured from an Axinellid sponge collected from the East Mediterranean coast of Israel. The structures of the pure compounds were determined using HRMS, MS/MS and one- and two-dimensional NMR measurements. The isolated compounds belong to the trichorzianines, a family of 19-residue linear hydrophobic peptides containing a high proportion of ?-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), an acetylated N-terminus and a C-terminal amino alcohol. These new peptaibols exhibited antimicrobial activity against environmental bacteria isolated from the Mediterranean coast of Israel.

Identification and Molecular Characterization of a Novel Partitivirus from <i>Trichoderma atroviride</i> NFCF394.

Project description:An increasing number of novel mycoviruses have been described in fungi. Here, we report the molecular characteristics of a novel bisegmented double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus from the fungus Trichoderma atroviride NFCF394. We designated this mycovirus as Trichoderma atroviride partitivirus 1 (TaPV1). Electron micrographs of negatively stained, purified viral particles showed an isometric structure approximately of 30 nm in diameter. The larger segment (dsRNA1) of the TaPV1 genome comprised 2023 bp and contained a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding 614 amino acid (AA) residues of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). The smaller segment (dsRNA2) consisted of 2012 bp with a single ORF encoding 577 AA residues of capsid protein (CP). The phylogenetic analysis, based on deduced amino acid sequences of RdRp and CP, indicated that TaPV1 is a new member of the genus Alphapartitivirus in the family Partitiviridae. Virus-cured isogenic strains did not show significant changes in colony morphology. In addition, no changes in the enzymatic activities of β-1,3-glucanase and chitinase were observed in virus-cured strains. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an Alphapartitivirus in T. atroviride.

Identification of mycoparasitism-related genes in Trichoderma atroviride.

Project description:A high-throughput sequencing approach was utilized to carry out a comparative transcriptome analysis of Trichoderma atroviride IMI206040 during mycoparasitic interactions with the plant-pathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani. In this study, transcript fragments of 7,797 Trichoderma genes were sequenced, 175 of which were host responsive. According to the functional annotation of these genes by KOG (eukaryotic orthologous groups), the most abundant group during direct contact was "metabolism." Quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR confirmed the differential transcription of 13 genes (including swo1, encoding an expansin-like protein; axe1, coding for an acetyl xylan esterase; and homologs of genes encoding the aspartyl protease papA and a trypsin-like protease, pra1) in the presence of R. solani. An additional relative gene expression analysis of these genes, conducted at different stages of mycoparasitism against Botrytis cinerea and Phytophthora capsici, revealed a synergistic transcription of various genes involved in cell wall degradation. The similarities in expression patterns and the occurrence of regulatory binding sites in the corresponding promoter regions suggest a possible analog regulation of these genes during the mycoparasitism of T. atroviride. Furthermore, a chitin- and distance-dependent induction of pra1 was demonstrated.

Trichoderma asperellumChi42 Genes Encode Chitinase.

Project description:Four Trichoderma strains (CH2, SH16, PQ34, and TN42) were isolated from soil samples collected from Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue provinces in Vietnam. The strains exhibited high chitinolytic secretion. Strain PQ34 formed the largest zone of chitinase-mediated clearance (> 4 cm in diameter) in agar containing 1% (w/v) colloidal chitin. Analysis of the internal transcribed spacer regions of these strains indicated that they were Trichoderma asperellum. The molecular weights of the chitinases were approximately 42 kDa. Chitinase genes (chi42) of T. asperellum strains TN42, CH2, SH16, and PQ34 were 98~99% homologous to the ech42 gene of T. harzianum CB-Pin-01 (accession No. DQ166036). The deduced amino acid sequences of both T. asperellum strains SH16 and TN42 shared 100% similarity.

Trichoderma atroviride transcript levels during mycoparasitism

Project description:To investigate the potential role in mycoparasitism, microarrays were used to examine T. atroviride 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. Two biological poolw 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).

Potential biocontrol efficacy of Trichoderma atroviride with cellulase expression regulator ace1 gene knock-out.

Project description:The biocontrol function of the repressor of cellulase expression I (ACE1) in Trichoderma atroviride was verified through constructing ?ace1 mutant strain by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. The activities of cell wall-degrading enzymes (cellulase, xylanase, chitinase, ?-1,3-glucanase, and protease) in the supernatant of ?ace1 mutant strain were distinctly higher than those of control strain, followed with the elevation of related genes transcript levels. Besides, the ?ace1 mutant resulted in an elevating transcript level of xyr1, but no obvious change in the expression of cre1, which suggested that ACE1 was negative regulator of the xyr1 transcription, but not involved in cre1 transcription. On core polyketide synthases of four biosynthesis gene clusters for antibiotic secondary metabolites, only the transcription levels of encoding genes Try83179/TryH and Aza79482/AzaJ in ?ace1 mutant strain were significantly higher than that in wild-type during antagonizing with pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani (with the inhibition rate of 30.7 and 19.8%, respectively). The biocontrol function of ?ace1 mutant strain was remarkably enhanced. The results indicated that ACE1, indeed, acted as a repressor for cell wall-degrading enzymes and PKSs expression in T. atroviride, and the ?ace1 mutant strain effectively made related enzymes activities improved with potential enhancement of biocontrol potency.
