Project description:Farnesol is a nonsterol isoprenoid produced by dephosphorylation of farnesyl pyrophosphate, a catabolite of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. These isoprenoids have been reported to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in neoplastic cell lines as well as to be effective in chemotherapy in several in vivo cancer models. Recently, it was shown that farnesol triggers morphological features characteristic of apoptosis in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. In order to investigate which pathways are involved under Farnesol treatment, we determined the transcriptional profile of A. nidulans wild type strain. Conidia were incubated at 37°C in complete medium for 16 hours and were esposed or not to 100 μM Farnesol for 2 hours. The mycelia were harvested by centrifugation and used for competitive microarray hybridizations. We detected differential regulation of genes involved in a variety of cellular processes whose specific modulation is likely to be implicated with A. nidulans adaptation to farnesol. We observed decreased mRNA abundance of several genes involved in RNA processing and modification, transcription, translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis, amino acid transport and metabolism. Interestingly, several genes involved in the ergosterol biosynthesis (such as the homologues of erg4/24, 11A, -11B, -13, -25, and –28) have decreased mRNA accumulation and other genes encoding mitochondrial proteins [such as AN9103.3, AN4500.3, and AN5440.3, encoding the Apoptosis Inducing Factor (AIF)-like mitochondrial oxidoreductase, the mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor, and the cytochrome c peroxidase, respectively] have increased mRNA expression when A. nidulans was exposed to farnesol. We also observed as more expressed several genes encoding proteins involved in trehalose metabolism and chaperones. Keywords: farnesol effect

Project description:Experimental evolution was conducted using Drosophila melanogaster populations that developed as larvae on breeding substrate that was infested with Aspergillus nidulans wild type, A. nidulans toxin-impaired mutant strain delta-laeA, the mycotoxin sterigmatocystin, or on fungi and toxin free substrate. Overall population were reared under these conditions for 11 generations, where after each confrontation generation one relaxation generation (fungi and toxin free breeding substrate) was conducted. Nine generations after the last selection treatment, first instar larvae were confronted with 3 days old A. nidulans wild type colonies or control conditions. 24 hours after confrontation start larvae were collected. For each biological replicate 52 larvae were collected from 4 independent confrontation units, balanced design. Three populations per selection regime were conducted, resulting in: 2 conditions x 4 selection regimes x 3 biological replicates (equal to fly population) = 24 samples. Selection regimes: sCO= control; sWT= A. nidulans wild type; sLA= A. nidulans mutant strain; sST= Sterigmatocystin. confrontation condition: cCO= control; cWT= A. nidulans wild type.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Aspergillus nidulans OE::rsmA compared to wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA). A twelve array study using total RNA recovered from six separate cultures of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and six separate cultures of Aspergillus nidulans overexpressing rsmA (restorer of secondary metabolism A), using custom-designed, four-plex arrays. The experiment was divided into two runs. In the first run, three biological replicates each of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and Aspergillus nidulans carrying a plasmid overexpressing rsmA under the control of the gpdA promoter were assayed. In the second run, three biological replicates each of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and Aspergillus nidulans overexpressing rsmA at the native locus under the control of the gpdA promoter were assayed.

Project description:Microarray analysis was used to identify the calcium-responsive genes dependent on CrzA in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. In order to identify such genes, we conducted the two types of experiment. One was a comparison between wild type with calcium treatment and wild type without calcium treatment. Another was a comparison between wild type with calcium treatment and crzA mutant with calcium treatment. From a comparison between the results of these experiments, we could identify the genes whose expression was induced or repressed in response to calcium in a manner dependent on CrzA.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Aspergillus nidulans AN1599 (PbcR) overexpression mutant, compared to the FGSC A4 wild-type strain. Overexpression of the Zn(II)2Cys6 –type transcription factor, AN1599.4 (PbcR, pimaradiene biosynthetic cluster regulator), activates a secondary metabolite gene cluster in Aspergillus nidulans. Activation of the pathway in Aspergillus nidulans lead to a production of ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene.
