Project description:In the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, the velvet family protein VeA and the global regulator of secondary metabolism LaeA govern fungal development and secondary metabolism mostly by acting as the VelB/VeA/LaeA heterotrimeric complex. While functions of these highly conserved controllers have been well studied, the genome-wide regulatory networks governing cellular and chemical development remain to be uncovered. Here, by integrating transcriptomic analyses, protein-DNA interactions, and the known A. nidulans gene/protein interaction data, we have unraveled the gene regulatory networks governed by VeA and LaeA. Within the networks, VeA and LaeA directly control the expression of numerous genes involved in asexual/sexual development and primary/secondary metabolism in A. nidulans. Totals of 3,190 and 1,834 potential direct target genes of VeA and LaeA were identified, respectively, including several important developmental and metabolic regulators such as flbA·B·C, velB·C, areA, mpkB, and hogA. Moreover, by analyzing over 8,800 ChIP-seq peaks, we have revealed the predicted common consensus sequences 5’-TGATTGGCTG-3’ and 5’-TCACGTGAC-3’ that VeA and LaeA might bind to interchangeably. These findings further expand the biochemical and genomic studies of the VelB/VeA/LaeA complex functionality in gene regulation. In summary, this study unveils genes that are under the regulation of VeA and LaeA, proposes the VeA- and LaeA-mediated gene regulatory networks, and demonstrates their genome-wide developmental and metabolic regulations in A. nidulans. This entry is for the ChIP-seq data.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Aspergillus nidulans OE::rsmA compared to wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA). A twelve array study using total RNA recovered from six separate cultures of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and six separate cultures of Aspergillus nidulans overexpressing rsmA (restorer of secondary metabolism A), using custom-designed, four-plex arrays. The experiment was divided into two runs. In the first run, three biological replicates each of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and Aspergillus nidulans carrying a plasmid overexpressing rsmA under the control of the gpdA promoter were assayed. In the second run, three biological replicates each of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and Aspergillus nidulans overexpressing rsmA at the native locus under the control of the gpdA promoter were assayed.

Moreover, by analyzing over 8,800 ChIP-seq peaks, we have revealed the predicted common consensus sequences 5'-TGATTGGCTG-3' and 5'-TCACGTGAC-3' that VeA and LaeA might bind to interchangeably. These findings further expand the biochemical and genomic studies of the VelB/VeA/LaeA complex functionality in the gene regulation. In summary, this study unveils genes that are under the regulation of VeA and LaeA, proposes the VeA- and LaeA-mediated gene regulatory networks, and demonstrates their genome-wide developmental and metabolic regulations in A. nidulans. IMPORTANCE Fungal development and metabolism are genetically programmed events involving specialized cellular differentiation, cellular communication, and temporal and spatial regulation of gene expression. In genus Aspergillus, the global regulators VeA and LaeA govern developmental and metabolic processes by affecting the expression of downstream genes, including multiple transcription factors and signaling elements. Due to their vital roles in overall biology, functions of VeA and LaeA have been extensively studied, but there still has been a lack of knowledge about their genome-wide regulatory networks. In this study, employing the model fungus A. nidulans, we have identified direct targets of VeA and LaeA and their gene regulatory networks by integrating transcriptome, protein-DNA interaction, and protein-protein interaction analyses. Our results demonstrate the genome-wide regulatory mechanisms of these global regulators, thereby advancing the knowledge of fungal biology and genetics.

Project description:This study presents the first global genomic, proteomic, and secondary metabolomic characterization of the filamentous fungus, Aspergillus nidulans, following growth on the International Space Station (ISS). The investigation included the A. nidulans wild-type and 3 mutant strains, two of which were genetically engineered to enhance secondary metabolite (SM) production. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) revealed that ISS conditions altered the A. nidulans genome in specific regions. In strain CW12001, which features overexpression of the SM global regulator laeA, ISS conditions induced a point mutation that resulted in the loss of the laeA stop codon. Differential expression of proteins involved in stress response, carbohydrate metabolic processes, and SM biosynthesis was observed. ISS conditions significantly decreased prenyl xanthone production in the wild-type strain and increased asperthecin production in LO1362 and CW12001, which are deficient in a major DNA repair mechanism. Together, these data provide valuable insights into the genetic and molecular adaptation mechanism of A. nidulans to the spacecraft environment and present many economic benefits.

Project description:Neurospora crassa is a reference organism to study carotene biosynthesis and light regulation for decades. However, there is no evidence of its capacity to produce secondary metabolites, a characteristic of many filamentous fungi. In this work, we report the role of the fungal specific velvet regulator complex in development and secondary metabolism in N. crassa. Four velvet genes were found in the genome. Deletion of ve-1 or ve-2 affects asexual and sexual development, secondary metabolism and light-dependent carotene biosynthesis. Deletion of vos-1 did not show significant differences in comparison to wild type. Deletion of lae-1 resulted in reduced protoperithecia formation and affected secondary metabolism. VE-1, VE-2, LAE-1 and VOS-1 showed nucleo-cytoplasmic localization, which was independent of light input. Two distinct velvet complexes were found in vivo: a heterotrimeric VE-1/VE-2/LAE-1 and a heterodimeric VE-2/VOS-1 complex, respectively. The heterotrimer-complex positively regulated sexual development and repressed asexual spore formation. Moreover, it repressed siderophore coprogen production under iron starvation conditions. The VE-1/VE-2 heterodimer controlled the production of carotene pigments. VE-1 regulated the expression of more than 15% of the whole genome, which corresponded mainly to regulatory, developmental and redox proteins. We also studied intergenera functions of the velvet complex through complementation of A. nidulans veA, velB, laeA, vosA mutants with their Neurospora crassa orthologues ve-1, ve-2, lae-1 and vos-1, respectively. Expression of VE-1 and VE-2 in A. nidulans successfully substituted the developmental and secondary metabolite functions of VeA and VelB by forming two functional chimeric velvet complexes in vivo, VelB/VE-1/LaeA and VE-2/VeA/LaeA, respectively. The N. crassa lae-1 and vos-1 genes did not complement respective A. nidulans mutants and failed to form corresponding complexes. Reciprocally, expression of veA restored the phenotypes of the N. crassa ve-1 mutant. All N. crassa velvet proteins heterologously expressed in A. nidulans were predominantly localized to nuclear fraction independent of light signal. These data highlight the conservation of the complex formation potential in N. crassa and A. nidulans. However, they also underline the similarities and differences of the velvet roles across genera according to the different life styles, niches and ontogenetic processes.
