Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in response to different light conditions of the H. jecorina CBS999.97(MAT1-2) parental strain (W) and the deletion strain delta-env1 (E). These two strains were grown on malt extract agar(Merck) at 25M-bM-^DM-^C in four different conditions: (1) 24L: constant light illumination (24L); (2) 12L12D: in a 12h light/dark cycle and then 6h light illumination; (3) 12D12L: in a 12h dark/light cycle and then 6h constant darknes; (4) 24D: constant darkness. The wild-type strain is potent for sexual development in 12D12L, 12L12D and 24D, whereas the delta-env1 mutant undergo sexual development only in 24D. By contrast, the wild-type strain is female sterile in 24L, and the delta-env1 mutant is female sterile in 12D12L, 12L12D and 24D. Our results reveal that conidation-specific genes, mating locus gene, h-type maitng pheromone genes, and genes invovled in processing and secretion of h-type mating pheromone are significantly upregulated in all four female sterile conditions (W-24L, E-12L12D, E-12D12L and E-24L). We used two biological replicates of two H. jecorina CBS999.97 (MAT1-2) strains, wild-type (W) and delta-env(E) on the cellophane-covered malt extract agar (MEA) plate at 25M-bM-^DM-^C for 7.25 days.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in response to different light conditions of the T. reesei QM9414 deletion strains delta-blr1, delta-blr2 and delta env1 cultivated on 1% microcrystalline cellulose. Perception and proper interpretation of environmental signals is crucial for survival in any natural habitat. Although the biotechnological workhorse Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) is predominantly known for its capability of efficient plant cell wall degradation, recent studies show that it has not lost its evolutionary heritage. Transmission of nutrient signals via the heterotrimeric G protein pathway has been shown to be influenced by light. We show that this interconnection is mainly established by the light regulatory protein ENV1 and the phosducin-like protein PhLP1 via mutual transcriptional regulation and influence on GNB1 (G protein beta subunit) function. ENV1 thereby exerts a more severe effect on gene transcription than BLR1 or BLR2. Lack of either one of the photoreceptors or PhLP1, GNB1 or GNG1 leads to a partial shutdown of processes upregulated in light, indicating that heterotrimeric G protein signalling exerts its major function in light and is a target of the light response machinery. Consequently, signals transmitted via the G protein pathway are of different relevance in light and darkness. Investigation of regulation of glycoside hydrolases as one of the major output pathways of this mechanism revealed that 79% of all genes belonging to this group, representing all GH-families available in T. reesei, are potentially responsive to light. We conclude that ENV1 is a key factor in connecting nutrient signalling with light response and establishes a signalling output pathway independent of BLR1 and BLR2. We used two biological replicates of three T. reesei strains (delta-blr1, delta-blr2 and delta-env1), cultivated in constant light (LL, 1800 lux) or constant darkness (DD) on microcrystalline cellulose. The strains used in this study were cultivated, hybridized and analyzed together with strains and samples from GSE27581; the corresponding wild-type strain QM9414 samples have accession numbers GSM683732, GSM683733, GSM683734 and GSM683735.

Project description:Hypocrea jecorina (anamorph Trichoderma reesei) is one of the most well studied fungi used in biotechnology industry. This fungus is today a paradigm for the comercial scale production of different plant cell wall degrading enzymes, mainly cellulases and hemicellulases. The objective of this study was to analyze the transcriptional profiling of T. reesei (Δxyr1) grown in presence of cellulose, sophorose and glucose as the carbon source using RNA-seq approach.
