Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: RNA-seq was used to compare the responses of laeA deletion strain and histone H2B point mutant strains . The wild-type strain were also studied.
Project description:The goals of this study are to compare differential gene expressions for Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain (WT), laeA knockout strain (ΔlaeA), creA knockout strain (ΔcreA), and double genes knockout strain (ΔlaeAΔcreA). The deletion of laeA downregulated genes involved in oxidation- reduction process, alkaloid metabolic process, and transmembrane transport. We find the expression levels of seven secondary metabolism gene clusters (totally 28 clusters) were silenced inΔlaeA. The deletion of creA upregulated genes involved in hydrolase activity, acting on glycosyl bonds. Many genes involved in conidiation were drastically regulated inΔlaeAΔcreA. This study provides the information that combined laeA and creA function are required in conidiation and hydrolase activity of P. oxalicum.

This study provides the information that combined laeA and creA function are required in conidiation and hydrolase activity of P. oxalicum. Examination of differential gene expressions by digital gene expression tag profiling in Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain and three mutant strains (laeA knockout strain, creA knockout strain and double genes knockout strain). qRTM-bM-^@M-^SPCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays.
Project description:The goals of this study are to compare differential gene expressions for Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain (WT), laeA knockout strain (ΔlaeA), rcoA knockout strain (ΔrcoA), and clrB knockout strain (ΔclrB). The deletion of laeA downregulated genes involved in oxidation- reduction process, alkaloid metabolic process, and transmembrane transport. We find the expression levels of seven secondary metabolism gene clusters (totally 28 clusters) were silenced inΔlaeA. The deletion of clrB downregulated genes involved in hydrolase activity, acting on glycosyl bonds. Many genes involved in conidiation were drastically regulated in ΔrcoA. This study provides the information that combined laeA, clrB and rcoA function are required in conidiation and hydrolase activity of P. oxalicum.
Project description:The goals of this study are to compare differential gene expressions for Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain (WT), and laeA knockout strain (ΔlaeA) in different development phase. The deletion of laeA downregulated genes involved in oxidation- reduction process, alkaloid metabolic process, and transmembrane transport. We find the expression levels of seven secondary metabolism gene clusters (totally 28 clusters) were silenced inΔlaeA. This study provides the information that laeA function are required in conidiation and hydrolase activity of P. oxalicum.

Project description:The goals of this study are to compare different gene expressions for Penicillium oxalicum wild type strain (WT), and set2 knockout strain (Δset2) in different carbon sources. The deletion of set2 upregulated genes involved in oxidation- reduction process, extracellular region, and plasma membrane ATP synthesis coupled proton transport both with 2% glucose or 1% cellulose and 1% wheat bran as carbon sources. We find the expression levels of 20 secondary metabolism gene clusters were upregulated or downregulated under different carbon sources in Δset2. This study provides the information that SET2 function are required in conidiation and hydrolase activity of P. oxalicum.
Project description:LaeA, a putative methyltransferase, is a global regulator for metabolic and development process in filamentous fungi. We characterized the laeA homologous genes in the white koji fungus, Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii (A. kawachii) to examine their role in citric acid production. The ΔlaeA strain showed a significant reduction in the citric acid productivity. The cap-analysis gene expression (CAGE) revealed the laeA is required for the gene expression of a putative citrate exporter encoding cexA, which has a critical role for the citric acid production. The deficient citric acid productivity of the ΔlaeA strain was remedied by overexpression of cexA to a comparative level to that of the cexA overexpressing ΔcexA strain. In addition, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) analysis indicated that LaeA regulates gene expression of the citrate exporter encoding cexA gene via histone H3K4 and histone H3K9 methylation levels. These results indicate that LaeA is involved in the citric acid production through epigenetic regulation of cexA in A. kawachii.
