Project description:ra10-01_laccases; laccase mutations. We demonstrated that laccases are involved in lignin polymerisation. Mutants have already been tested on microarrays and there is few differences compared to wild-type. The laccase mutation seems surgical. We possess a new double mutant, called snips, with a semi-dwarf phenotype, and we want to determine its profile. Each mutant was compared to wild type. All plants were harvested at the same developmental stage in the same growth chamber between 10h30 and 11h. 10 dye-swaps. CATMA arrays.

Project description:Laccases were proposed to catalyze the oxidative polymerization of monolignols. We identified 49 laccase gene models in Populus trichocarpa, of which 29 were predicted to be targets of ptr-miR397a. We overexpressed Ptr-MIR397a in transgenic P. trichocarpa. In each of all 9 transgenic lines tested, 17 PtrLACs were down-regulated as analyzed by RNA-seq. Transgenic lines with severe reduction in the expression of these laccase genes resulted in an approximately 40% decrease in the total laccase activity. Overexpression of Ptr-MIR397a in these transgenic lines also reduced lignin content, whereas levels of all monolignol biosynthetic gene transcripts remained unchanged. A hierarchical genetic regulatory network (GRN) built by a bottom-up Graphic Gaussian Model algorithm provides additional support for a role of ptr-miR397a as a negative regulator of laccases for lignin biosynthesis. Full transcriptome based differential gene expression in the overexpressed transgenics and protein domain analyses implicate previously unidentified transcription factors and their targets in an extended hierarchical GRN including ptr-miR397a and laccases that coregulate lignin biosynthesis in wood formation. Ptr-miR397a, laccases and other regulatory components of this network may provide additional strategies for genetic manipulation of lignin content. Total twelve trees were used. Those include nine individual transgenic trees for overexpressing Ptr-miR397a, as nine biological replicates, and three wild-type trees.

Project description:Secreted laccases are important enzymes on an ecological scale for their role in mediating plant-fungal interactions, but their function in fungal pathogenesis has yet to be elucidated. Ascomycete laccases have been primarily associagted with cell wall melanin deposition, and laccase mutants in ascomycete species often demonstrate reduced pigmentation. In this study, a putatively secreted laccase, Sslac2, was characterized from the broad host-range plant pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which is largely unpigmented and is not dependent on melanogenesis for plant infection. Of the seven putative laccases in the S. sclerotiorum genome, Sslac2 was the only one found to be highly upregulated during pathogenesis of soybeans and was additionally found to be induced during growth on solid surfaces. Gene knockoues ot Sslac2 demonstrate wide ranging developmental defects, including abolished sclerotial formation, and are functionally non-pathogenic on unwounded tissue. While these mutants demonstrated a clear radial growth defect, enhanced growth was observed in liquid culture, likely due to altered hydrophobicity and thigmotropic responsiveness. Sslac2 mutants were also unable to respond to a host environment, and accordingly unable to differentiate penetration structures, respond appropriately to chemical stress, or produce the key virulence factor oxalic acid. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy of WT and mutant strains show apparent differences in extracellular matrix structure that may explain the inability of the mutant to respond to environmental cues. Targeting Sslac2 using host-induced gene silencing significantly improved resistance to S. sclerotiorum, suggesting that fungal laccases could be a valuable target of disease control. Collectively, we identified a laccase critical to the development and virulence of the broad host-range pathogen S. sclerotiorum and propose a potentially novel role for funal laccases in modulating environmental sensing.

Project description:Filamentous fungi are promising organisms for lignin degradation and mineralization. However, novel lignin-degrading fungal species are underexplored. Here, we isolated a fungal strain of Curvularia clavata that can utilize lignosulfonate as the carbon source and exhibited a relative high laccase activity during growth on lignosulfonate. Comparative transcriptomic analysis of the WT strain grown on glucose and lignosulfonate indicates that lignosulfonate and/or its metabolites have a significant effect on the gene expression profiles of C. clavata J1. Three regulators of laccase activity were identified, including a methyltransferase CcLaeA and two transcription factors, Rpn-4 and Tah-1. When grown on lignosulfonate, the laccase activity of the CclaeA and rpn-4 disrupted mutants (ΔCclaeA and Δrpn-4) increased by 49.2% and 43.5%, respectively, compared to the wild-type (WT) strain, whereas the tah-1 disrupted mutant (Δtah-1) decreased by 59.2%.

Project description:Lignin and lignans are both deriving from the monolignol pathway. Despite the similarity of their building blocks, they fulfil different functions in planta. Lignin strengthens the tissues of the plant, while lignans are involved in plant defence and growth regulation. Their biosyntheses are tuned both spatially and temporally to suit the development of the plant (water conduction, reaction to stresses). It was previously shown that the growing hemp hypocotyl is a valid system to study secondary growth and the molecular events accompanying lignification. The present work confirms the validity of this system, by using it to study the regulation of lignin and lignan biosyntheses. Microscopic observations, lignin analysis, proteomics, together with targeted RT-qPCR and in situ laccase and peroxidase activity assays were carried out to understand the dynamics of lignan/lignin synthesis during the development of the hemp hypocotyl. Based on phylogenetic analysis and targeted gene expression, we suggest a role for the hemp dirigent and dirigent-like proteins. The transdisciplinary approach adopted resulted in the gene- and protein-level quantification of the main enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of monolignols and their oxidative coupling (laccases and class III peroxidases), in lignin deposition (dirigent-like proteins) and in the determination of the stereoconformation of lignans (dirigent proteins). Our work sheds light on how, in the growing hemp hypocotyl, the provision of the precursors needed to synthesize the aromatic biopolymers lignin and lignans is regulated at the transcriptional and proteomic level.

Project description:In this project, the transcriptomic data was obtained from the 6-day and 10-day submerged cultures of Cerrena unicolor sp. 87613 under PDA media, respectively. C.unicolor is reported to be an important medicinal fungus as well as an efficient laccase producer. Interestingly, C.unicolor sp.87613 presented a highest laccase production with ~420 U/mL at fermentation day 6, while the laccase production was reduced by ~27% at fermentation day 10. Therefore, these collected data were used to unveil the potential regulatory mechanism of laccase production. Besides, these transcriptomic data also provide essential data source for a better understanding of C.unicolor in various aspects.
