The CRE1 carbon catabolite repressor of the fungus Trichoderma reesei: a master regulator of carbon assimilation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The identification and characterization of the transcriptional regulatory networks governing the physiological behaviour and adaptation of microbial cells is a key step in understanding their behaviour. One such wide-domain regulatory circuit, essential to all cells, is carbon catabolite repression (CCR): it allows the cell to prefer some carbon sources, whose assimilation is of high nutritional value, over less profitable ones. This system has been investigated in bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi. In the latter, the C2H2 zinc finger protein has been shown to act as the central transcriptional repressor in this process. Here, we deciphered the CRE1 regulon by profiling transcription in a wild-type and delta-cre1 mutant strains on glucose in the model cellulose and hemicellulose-degrading fungus Trichoderma reesei (anamorph of Hypocrea jecorina) at constant growth rates known to per se repress and derepress CCR-affected genes.
