Project description:Mucormycosis is an increasingly common, life-threatening fungal infection caused by fungi belonging to the subphylum Mucormycotina, order Mucorales. The major risk factors for mucormycosis include uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, treatment with corticosteroids, organ or bone marrow transplantation, neutropenia, trauma and burns, malignant hematological disorders, and deferoxamine-therapy in patients receiving hemodialysis. Amphotericin B (AmB) remains the only antifungal agent approved for the treatment of invasive mucormycosis. Because fungi belonging to the mucorales order are relatively resistant to AmB, high doses are required, which frequently causes nephrotoxicity and other adverse effects. In the absence of surgical removal of the infected focus (such as excision of the eye in patients with rhinocerebral mucormycosis), antifungal therapy alone is rarely curative. Even when surgical debridement is combined with high-dose AmB, the mortality associated with mucor¬mycosis is >50%. In patients with prolonged neutropenia or disseminated disease, mortality is 90-100%. Rhizopus oryzae is by far the most common organism isolated from patients with mucormycosis, and is responsible for approximately 70% of all cases of mucormycosis. Recent epidemiological data collected from transplant centers have demonstrated a striking increase in the number of reported cases of mucormycosis. Furthermore, mucormycosis outbreaks are also known to follow natural disasters as was the case following the tsunami that devastated Indonesia in 2004 and the tornadoes that destroyed Joplin, Missouri in June 2011. Hence, there exists a large impetus to identify particular virulence factors and biomarkers associated with mucormycosis, which would lead to a rational approach to develop new antifungals and vaccines to prevent deaths specifically due to mucormycosis. In order to better understand the complex nature of the host pathogen interaction during mucormycosis, we performed dual species RNA-seq on 5 different Mucorales strains during in vitro infection of endothelial or epithelial cells.

Project description:Mucor species belongs to the Mucorales order within the phylum Mucoromycota, an early diverging fungal lineage. The purpose of this study was to investigate at the transcriptome scale the similarities and differences that could be linked to different lifestyles. Five strains pertaining to five species were studied: M. fuscus and M. lanceolatus, two species used in cheese ripening, M. racemosus, a recurrent cheese spoiler sometimes described as an opportunistic pathogen, M. circinelloides, often described as an opportunistic pathogen and M. endophyticus, a plant endophyte species.

Project description:Mucorales are basal fungi that opportunistically cause a fatal infection known as mucormycosis (black fungus disease), which poses a significant threat to human health due to its high mortality rate and its recent association with SARS-CoV-2 infections. On the other hand, histone methylation is a regulatory mechanism with pleiotropic effects, including the virulence of several pathogenic organisms. However, the role of epigenetic changes at the histone level never has been studied in Mucorales. Here, we dissected the functional role of Set1, a histone methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of H3K4, which is associated with the activation of gene transcription and virulence. A comparative analysis of the Mucor lusitanicus genome (previously known as Mucor circinelloides f. lusitanicus) identified only one homolog of Set1 from Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae that contains the typical SET domain. Knockout strains in the gene set1 lacked H3K4 monomethylation, dimethylation, and trimethylation enzymatic activities. These strains also showed a significant reduction in vegetative growth and sporulation. Additionally, set1 null strains were more sensitive to SDS, EMS, and UV light, indicating severe impairment in the repair process of the cell wall and DNA lesions and a correlation between Set1 and these processes. During pathogen-host interactions, strains lacking the set1 gene exhibited shortened polar growth within the phagosome and attenuated virulence both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings suggest that the histone methyltransferase Set1 coordinates several cell processes related to the pathogenesis of M. lusitanicus and may be an important target for future therapeutic strategies against mucormycosis.

Project description:Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) has a large (~2.7 Gbp) allotetraploid genome with closely related component genomes making its genome very challenging to assemble. Here we report genome sequences of its diploid ancestors (A. duranensis and A. ipaënsis). We show they are similar to the peanutâs A- and B-genomes and use them use them to identify candidate disease resistance genes, create improved tetraploid transcript assemblies, and show genetic exchange between peanutâs component genomes. Based on remarkably high DNA identity and biogeography, we conclude that A. ipaënsis may be a descendant of the very same population that contributed the B-genome to cultivated peanut.
