RNA-seq analysis of AtrR-regulated gene expression in Aspergillus fumigatus cells in response to voriconazole.

ABSTRACT: Aspergillus fumigatus transcription factor AtrR is a critical determinant of the azole resistance phenotype of this organism. AtrR positively regulates expression of a range of genes involved in azole resistance including the ATP-binding cassette transporter-encoding locus abcG1 (cdr1B/abcC) as well as the gene that encodes the enzymatic target of azole drugs cyp51A. Homology searches of A. fumigatus AtrR against a range of fungal species identified highly conserved 25 amino acid region in the carboxy-terminus. To determine the contribution of this region to AtrR function, we prepared a mutant from of the atrR that lacked this region (Δ855-879). We compared the response of an isogenic wild-type strain to a strain expressing the Δ855-879 AtrR derivative using RNA-seq, both in the absence and the presence of voriconazole challenge. The resulting data indicate that this 25 amino acid segment of AtrR is required for expression of some but not all AtrR target genes.

The Negative Cofactor 2 complex is a master regulator of drug resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The Negative cofactor 2 (NCT) complex is an evolutionally conserved heterodimeric transcription factor. In Aspergillus fumigatus, the NCT complex consists of two subunits NctA and NctB. Through a genome-wide screening of a transcription factor null mutant strains, we found that loss of the NCT complex leads to a multi-drug resistance phenotype including the azoles (itraconazole, voriconazole and posaconazole) as well as the salvage therapeutic amphotericin B, and terbinafine. To obtain further insight into the molecular mechanisms driving the azole-resistance in the NCT complex null mutants, we analyzed genome-wide binding profiles of NctA using chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq). Our ChIP-seq analysis revealed that NCT complex binds the promoters of several ergosterol biosynthetic genes, their transcriptional regulators, and the azole efflux pump cdr1B. Taken together, these results suggest that the NCT complex plays a role as a master regulator of drug resistance in A. fumigatus.

To obtain further insight into the molecular mechanisms driving the azole-resistance in the NCT complex null mutants, we analyzed genome-wide gene expression profiles of the nctA and the nctB null mutants using RNA-seq. Our expression profiling revealed that disruption of the genes lead to upregulation of several ergosterol biosynthetic genes, their transcriptional activators, and the azole efflux pump cdr1B. Taken together, these results suggest that the NCT complex plays a role as a master regulator of drug resistance in A. fumigatus.

A PWWP domain-containing protein Crf4-3 specifically modulates fungal azole susceptibility by regulating sterol C-14 demethylase ERG11

Project description:The widespread use of azole antifungal drugs in agriculture and clinical settings has led to serious drug resistance issues. Under azole treatment, resistant strains can upregulate the expression of the azole drug target 14α-demethylase ERG11 through transcription factors to alleviate the stress induced by sterol synthesis inhibition, which is a common resistance mechanism. Additionally, the currently reported regulatory factors related to resistance are not sufficient to explain all resistance issues. In this study, we constructed a GFP gene reporter system based on the erg11 promoter in the model filamentous fungus, Neurospora crassa, and identified a key region of the promoter that governs the erg11 response to azole drug by stepwise deletion. Using specific probes for DNA pulldown and combined with phenotype analysis, we identified a protein, Crf4-3, containing a PWWP domain that has a positive regulatory effect. Specific deletion of Crf4-3 leads to hypersensitivity to azole drugs and loss of transcriptional response of erg11 and erg6 to ketoconazole. Furthermore, the basal expression of erg1, erg11, erg25, and erg3A is affected by the deletion of crf4-3. Crf4-3 homologs are widely present in the Pezizomycotina fungi. Deletion of the homologous protein of Crf4-3 in Aspergillus fumigatus also significantly reduced sensitivity to azole drugs like voriconazole by reducing the transcriptional response of erg11. In summary, our study revealed a new regulatory factor Crf4-3 involved in the azole stress response in filamentous fungi and its mechanism, providing new insights into understanding the mechanisms of azole drug resistance.

ChIP-seq analysis of transcription factor AtrR binding across the Aspergillus fumigatus genome

Project description:To determine the genomic binding sites for the Aspergillus fumigatus transcription factor AtrR, we utilized three different strains. One was the wild-type AfS35 which contains a wild-type copy of atrR but lacks any HA tag. The other two are both derived from AfS35 but contain a 3X HA tag replacing the stop codon of atrR. These strains are SPF89 and SPF112, respectively. SPF89 uses the wild-type atrR promoter to drive expression of the epitope-tagged allele while SPF112 uses the much strong hspA promoter to drive production of the same protein.

Transcriptional response of an azole-resistant Candida parapsilosis isolate [voriconazole].

Project description:Azole resistance was induced in vitro by growth of a susceptible C. parapsilosis isolate in the presence of voriconazole. Whole genome microarrays were used to compare the transcriptional response of the voriconizole-resistant and susceptible isolates. Transcriptional profile of an in vitro derived voriconazole-resistant isolate of C. parapsilosis (BC014VRC) compared to the susceptible isolate (BC014S). Cell were grown in YPD medium in normoxia at 35 degrees. Each strain was labelled with Cy3 or Cy5. Overall, 4 independent biological replicates were compared; 2 dye swaps were performed to normalize dye effects.
