Project description:Polyporus umbellatus sclerotia are medicinal tissue, but little is known about acetylome of sclerotia generated from hyphae. Acetylated peptides in P. umbellatus were enriched by anti-acetyl-lysine antibody beaded agarose and DDA data were acquired by AB Triple TOF 5600+. Raw data were analyzed by ProteinPilot software to obtained acetylated peptides and proteins, and carried out bioinformatics analysis.
Project description:Polyporus umbellatus sclerotia are medicinal tissue, but little is known about acetylome of sclerotia generated from hyphae. Based on acetylome analysis results and expression levels of targeted protein that associated with sclerotia generation were verified by PRM using Orbitrap Fusion (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA) mass spectrometer equipped with a nanospray Flex Ion Source and the UltiMate3000 RSLC nano (Dionex, Sunnyvale, CA).
Project description:It has been well established that some Armillaria species are symbionts of Polyporus umbellatus, However, little is known about the evolutionary history of P. umbellatus-Armillaria associations. In this research, we used an analysis based on the strength of the phylogenetic signal to investigate P. umbellatus-Armillaria associations in 57 sclerotial samples across 11 provinces of China. We isolated Armillaria strains from the invasion cavity inside the sclerotia of P. umbellatus and then phylogenetically analyzed these Armillaria isolates. We also tested the effect of P. umbellatus and Armillaria phylogenies on the P. umbellatus-Armillaria associations. We isolated forty-seven Armillaria strains from 26 P. umbellatus sclerotial samples. All Armillaria isolates were classified into the 5 phylogenetic lineages found in China except for one singleton. Among the 5 phylogenetic lineages, one lineage (lineage 8) was recognized by delimitation of an uncertain phylogenetic lineage in previous study. Results of simple Mantel test implied that phylogenetically related P. umbellatus populations tend to interact with phylogenetically related Armillaria species. Phylogenetic network analyses revealed that the interaction between P. umbellatus and Armillaria is significantly influenced by the phylogenetic relationships between the Armillaria species.
