Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus strains CEA10 and srbA mutant expression patterns were compared after exposure to 24h of hypoxic conditions Goal of this study was to find genes that are directly and/or indirectly regulated by the transcription factor srbA, that is know to be crucial for growth under hypoxic conditions Keywords: hypoxic stress response

Project description:We report gene expression differences in Aspergillus fumigatus wild type, hrmA mutant, and overexpression under hypoxia and normoxia conditions
Project description:Genomic DNA from five strains, Aspergillus fumigatus Af71, Aspergillus fumigatus Af294, Aspergillus clavatus, Neosartorya fenneliae, and Neosartorya fischeri, were co-hybridized with that of Aspergillus fumigatus Af293 and compared.
Project description:Hypoxia imposes stress on filamentous fungi that require oxygen to proliferate. Global transcription analysis of Aspergillus oryzae grown under hypoxic conditions found that the expression of about 50% of 4,244 affected genes was either induced or repressed more than 2-fold. A comparison of these genes with the hypoxically-regulated genes of A. nidulans (Masuo et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 2010, 284:415-424) based on their predicted amino acid sequences classified them as bi-directional best hit (BBH), one-way best hit (extra homolog: EH) and no-hit (non-syntenic genes: NSG) genes. Clustering analysis of the BBH genes indicated that A. oryzae and A. nidulans down-regulated global translation and transcription under hypoxic conditions, respectively. Under hypoxic conditions, both fungi up-regulated genes for alcohol fermentation and the γ-aminobutyrate shunt of the tricarboxylate cycle, whereas A. oryzae up-regulated the glyoxylate pathway, indicating that both fungi eliminate NADH accumulation under hypoxic conditions. The A. oryzae NS genes included specific genes for secondary and nitric oxide metabolism under hypoxic conditions. This comparative transcriptomic analysis discovered common and strain-specific responses to hypoxia in hypoxic Aspergillus species.
