Project description:The rep1 gene of the maize pathogen Ustilago maydis encodes a pre-pro-protein that is processed in the secretory pathway into 11 peptides. These so-called repellents form amphipathic amyloid fibrils at the surface of aerial hyphae. Strains in which the rep1 gene is inactivated (∆rep1 strain) are affected in aerial hyphae formation. This makes these strains instrumental to assess changes in global gene expression as a consequence of aerial growth. Microarray analysis revealed that only 31 genes in the ∆rep1 SG200 strain had a fold change in expression of >= 2. Twenty-two of these genes are up-regulated and half of them encode small secreted proteins (SSP’s) with unknown functions. Seven of the SSP genes and two other genes that are over-expressed in the ∆rep1 SG200 strain encode secreted cysteine-rich proteins (SCRP’s). Interestingly, most of the SCRP’s are predicted to form amyloids. The SCRP gene um00792 showed the highest up-regulation in the ∆rep1 strain. Using GFP as a reporter, it was shown that this gene is over-expressed in the layer of hyphae at the medium-air interface. Taken together, it is concluded that only minor changes occur in the expression profile when U. maydis forms aerial structures. Key words: aerial hypha, repellent, hydrophobin-like protein, Ustilago maydis, SSP, SCRP, fungal pathogenicity.

These so-called repellents form amphipathic amyloid fibrils at the surface of aerial hyphae. Strains in which the rep1 gene is inactivated (M-bM-^HM-^Frep1 strain) are affected in aerial hyphae formation. This makes these strains instrumental to assess changes in global gene expression as a consequence of aerial growth. Microarray analysis revealed that only 31 genes in the M-bM-^HM-^Frep1 SG200 strain had a fold change in expression of >= 2. Twenty-two of these genes are up-regulated and half of them encode small secreted proteins (SSPM-bM-^@M-^Ys) with unknown functions. Seven of the SSP genes and two other genes that are over-expressed in the M-bM-^HM-^Frep1 SG200 strain encode secreted cysteine-rich proteins (SCRPM-bM-^@M-^Ys). Interestingly, most of the SCRPM-bM-^@M-^Ys are predicted to form amyloids. The SCRP gene um00792 showed the highest up-regulation in the M-bM-^HM-^Frep1 strain.

Key words: aerial hypha, repellent, hydrophobin-like protein, Ustilago maydis, SSP, SCRP, fungal pathogenicity. To analyze expression changes in aerial hyphae upon deletion of the rep1 gene, strains SG200 and SG200M-bM-^HM-^Frep1 were grown on charcoal nitrate minimal array media supplemented with vitamins and 1% glucose at 22 C for 48 h. For each experiment three biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Ustilago maydis is a plant-pathogenic fungus that establishes a biotrophic relationship with its host Zea mays. The biotrophic interaction is initiated upon host penetration, and involves expansion of the host plasma membrane around hyphae, which is thought to facilitate the exchange of nutrients and virulence factors. Transcriptional regulators involved in the establishment of an infectious dikaryon and penetration into the host have been identified, however, regulators involved in the post-penetration stages remained to be elucidated. In the study we report the identification of an Ustilago maydis forkhead transcription factor, Fox1, which is exclusively expressed during biotrophic development. Deletion of fox1 results in reduced virulence and impaired tumour development in planta. Δfox1 hyphae induce plant defences including the overproduction and accumulation of H2O2 in and around infected cells. This oxidative burst acts as an intercellular signal, which elicits a specific host defence response phenotypically represented by the encasement of proliferating hyphae in extensions of the plant cell wall. Maize microarrays experiments were performed to identify genes involved in the observed plant defence responses on leaf tissue infected with U. maydis strain SG200∆fox1 4 dpi.
