Profiling of Rgt1-regulated gene transcripts (37º C) in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans

ABSTRACT: C. albicans glucose sensing and signaling is important for full virulence in the mammalian host. To better understand this phenomenon, we investigated the Hgt4 glucose-sensing pathway, focusing on the downstream transcriptional repressor CaRgt1. CaRgt1-regulated gene transcripts were identified by comparing total RNA extracted from wild type and rgt1 mutant strains. Cells were grown at 37 degrees C in the presence of glycerol, conditions under which CaRgt1 was expected to repress gene transcription. Keywords: cell type comparison

The spliceosome impacts morphogenesis in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans.

Project description:At human body temperature, the fungal pathogen Candida albicans can transition from yeast to filamentous morphologies in response to host-relevant cues. Additionally, elevated temperatures encountered during febrile episodes can independently induce C. albicans filamentation. However, the underlying genetic pathways governing this developmental transition in response to elevated temperature remain largely unexplored. Here, we conducted a functional genomic screen to unravel the genetic mechanisms orchestrating C. albicans filamentation specifically in response to elevated temperature, implicating 45% of genes associated with the spliceosome or pre-mRNA splicing in this process. Employing RNA-Seq to elucidate the relationship between mRNA splicing and filamentation, we identified greater levels of intron retention in filaments compared to yeast, which correlated with reduced expression of the affected genes. Intriguingly, homozygous deletion of a gene encoding a spliceosome component important for filamentation (PRP19) caused even greater levels of intron retention compared with wild-type and globally dysregulated gene expression. This suggests that intron retention is a mechanism for fine-tuning gene expression during filamentation, with perturbations of the spliceosome exacerbating this process and blocking filamentation. Overall, this study unveils a novel biological process governing C. albicans filamentation, providing new insights into the complex regulation of this key virulence trait.

Transcriptional control of hypoxic hyphal growth in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans

Project description:So far, there is no known regulatory circuits that mediate filamentation of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans exclusively in response to hypoxia. In this study, we performed a quantitative analysis of gene deletion mutants from different collections of protein kinases and transcriptional regulators to identify specific regulator of the hypoxic filamentation. Our work uncovered two transcription factors, Ahr1 and Tye7, that act as prominent regulators of C. albicans filamentation specifically under hypoxia. In summary, we used genome-wide transcriptional profiling and promoter occupancy to characterize both Ahr1 and Tye7 regulons associated with the hypoxic filamentation in C. albicans.

Transcriptional profiling of Mms21 deleted (mms21Δ/Δ) mutant Candida albicans strains

Project description:Mms21 deleteion in Candida albicans resulted in invasveness and filamentatation in YPD media at 30 degrees Celsius. Wild type SN148 do not make any Filaments in YPD at 30 degrees Celsius. The aim was to look for transcription profiling mms21 dleleted mutant against wild type to find genes up and down regulated in the mutant especially thoseones critical for filamentation.

Comparative phenotypic analysis of the major fungal pathogens Candida parapsilosis and Candida albicans

Project description:Abstract: Candida parapsilosis and Candida albicans are human fungal pathogens that belong to the CUG clade in the Saccharomycotina. In contrast to C. albicans, relatively little is known about the virulence properties of C. parapsilosis, a pathogen particularly associated with infections of premature neonates. We describe here the construction of >200 C. parapsilosis strains carrying double allele deletions of transcription factors, protein kinases and species-specific genes. Two independent deletions were constructed for each target gene. Growth in > 40 conditions was tested, including carbon source, temperature, and the presence of antifungal drugs. The phenotypes were compared to C. albicans strains with deletions of orthologous transcription factors. We found that many phenotypes are shared between the two species, such as the role of Upc2 as a regulator of azole resistance. Others are unique. For example, Cph2 plays a role in the hypoxic response in C. parapsilosis and not in C. albicans. We found extensive divergence between the biofilm regulators of the two species. We identified 7 transcription factors and one protein kinase that are required for biofilm development in C. parapsilosis. Only three (Efg1, Bcr1, and Ace2) have similar effects on C. albicans biofilms, whereas Cph2, Czf1, Gzf3 and Ume6 have major roles in C. parapsilosis only. In addition, two transcription factors (Brg1 and Tec1) with well-characterized roles in biofilm formation in C. albicans do not have the same function in C. parapsilosis. We also compared the transcription profile of C. parapsilosis and C. albicans biofilms. Our analysis suggests the processes shared between the two species are predominantly metabolic.

Regulation of filamentation in the human fungal pathogen Candida tropicalis

Project description:The yeast-filament transition is essential for the virulence of a variety of fungi that are pathogenic to humans. N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), a ubiquitous molecule in both the environment and host, is one of the most potent inducers of filamentation in Candida albicans and thermally dimorphic fungi such as Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatitidis. However, GlcNAc suppresses rather than promotes filamentation in Candida tropicalis, a fungal species that is closely related to C. albicans. Furthermore, we discover that glucose induces filamentous growth in C. tropicalis. Mutation and overexpression assays demonstrate that the conserved cAMP signaling pathway plays a central role in the regulation of filamentation in C. tropicalis. Activation of this pathway promotes filamentation in C. tropicalis, while inactivation of this pathway results in a serious growth defect in filamentation. By screening an overexpression library of 154 transcription factors, we have identified approximately 40 regulators of filamentous growth in C. tropicalis. Although most of the regulators (e.g., Tec1, Gat2, Nrg1, Sfl1, Sfl2, and Ash1) demonstrate a conserved role in the regulation of filamentation, similar to their homologs in C. albicans or S. cerevisiae, some of them are specific to C. tropicalis. For example, Czf1 and Efh1 repress filamentation, while Wor1, Zcf3, and Hcm1 promote filamentation in C. tropicalis. Bcr1, Aaf1, and Csr1 play a specific role in the process of GlcNAc-regulated filamentation. Our findings indicate that multiple interconnected signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of filamentation in C. tropicalis. These mechanisms have conserved and divergent features among different Candida species. Total RNA profiles of cells grown in Lee's glucose or Lee's GlcNAc medium.
