Mol Biol Rep 2023; 50:4165-4173. [PMID: 36894769 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-023-08356-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As the dominant species of Stomatopoda, Oratosquilla oratoria has not been fully cultivated artificially, and the fishery production mainly depends on marine fishing. Due to the lack of stomatopod genome, the development of molecular breeding of mantis shrimps still lags behind. METHODS AND RESULTS A survey analysis was performed to obtain the genome size, GC content and heterozygosity ratio in order to provide a fundation for subsequent whole-genome sequencing. The results showed that the estimated genome size of the O. oratoria was about 2.56 G, and the heterozygosity ratio was 1.81%, indicating that it is a complex genome. Then the sequencing data was preliminarily assembled with k-mer = 51 by SOAPdenovo software to obtain a genome size of 3.01G and GC content of 40.37%. According to ReapeatMasker and RepeatModerler analysis, the percentage of repeats in O. oratoria was 45.23% in the total genome, similar to 44% in Survey analysis. The MISA tool was used to analyze the simple sequence repeat (SSR) characteristics of genome sequences including Oratosquilla oratoria, Macrobrachium nipponense, Fenneropenaeus chinensis, Eriocheir japonica sinensis, Scylla paramamosain and Paralithodes platypus. All crustacean genomes showed similar SSRs characteristics, with the highest proportion of di-nucleotide repeat sequences. And AC/GT and AGG/CCT repeats were the main types of di-nucleotide and tri-nucleotide repeats in O. oratoria. CONCLUSION This study provided a reference for the genome assembly and annotation of the O. oratoria, and also provided a theoretical basis for the development of molecular markers of O. oratoria.

Characteristics of the Genome, Transcriptome and Ganoderic Acid of the Medicinal Fungus Ganoderma lingzhi. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:jof8121257. [PMID: 36547590 PMCID: PMC9784716 DOI: 10.3390/jof8121257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Ganoderma (Ganodermaceae) is a genus of edible and medicinal mushrooms that create a diverse set of bioactive compounds. Ganoderma lingzhi has been famous in China for more than 2000 years for its medicinal properties. However, the genome information of G. lingzhi has not been characterized. Here, we characterized its 49.15-Mb genome, encoding 13,125 predicted genes which were sequenced by the Illumina and PacBio platform. A wide spectrum of carbohydrate-active enzymes, with a total number of 519 CAZymes were identified in G. lingzhi. Then, the genes involved in sexual recognition and ganoderic acid (GA, key bioactive metabolite) biosynthesis were characterized. In addition, we identified and deduced the possible structures of 20 main GA constituents by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS, including a new special ganochlearic acid A. Furthermore, 3996 novel transcripts were discovered, and 9276 genes were predicted to have the possibility of alternative splicing from RNA-Seq data. The alternative splicing genes were enriched for functional categories involved in protein processing, endocytosis, and metabolic activities by KEGG. These genomic, transcriptomic, and GA constituents’ resources would enrich the toolbox for biological, genetic, and secondary metabolic pathways studies in G. lingzhi.

Abstract
The fungus Schizophyllum commune is a cosmopolitan basidiomycete, which is popular as an edible, medical mushroom. It causes wood rot and often used as a model object in research. In this study, we analyzed thirty-two genomes of S. commune strains from the NCBI database and designed forty-seven unique SSR DNA markers. The detailed analysis revealed the enrichment of the S. commune genome for CG, GC, CTC, GAG, and TCG motifs. Principal components analysis confirmed the effectiveness of novel SSR DNA markers that preserve the initial heterogeneity of populations. The construction of a network between strains showed single one at a maximum similarity of 38%, and increasing the similarity to 55% breaks the linkage between large groups while separating two new groups containing strains of the population Ru and test cultures S. commune. The amplicons' presence was identified as a sufficient sign of relation of the culture to a specific population. Testing the novel SSR markers allowed to establish a clear delimitation of all groups by geographic location and to differentiate the H4-8 (GCA_000143185.1) strain from the USA population. This research is the basis for the further analysis of S. commune populations and improvement of approaches to determine its genetic diversity.

Abstract
Oyster mushrooms have a high biological efficiency and are easy to cultivate, which is why they are produced all over the world. Cap color is an important commercial trait for oyster mushrooms. Little is known about the genetic mechanism of the cap color trait in oyster mushrooms, which limits molecular breeding for the improvement of cap color-type cultivars. In this study, a 0.8-Mb major quantitative trait locus (QTL) region controlling cap color in the oyster mushroom Pleurotus cornucopiae was mapped on chromosome 7 through bulked-segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) and extreme-phenotype genome-wide association studies (XP-GWAS). Candidate genes were further selected by comparative transcriptome analysis, and a tyrosinase gene (PcTYR) was identified as the highest-confidence candidate gene. Overexpression of PcTYR resulted in a significantly darker cap color, while the cap color of RNA interference (RNAi) strains for this gene was significantly lighter than that of the wild-type (WT) strains, suggesting that PcTYR plays an essential role in cap color formation. This is the first report about fine mapping and functional verification of a gene controlling cap color in oyster mushrooms. This will enhance our understanding of the genetic basis for cap color formation in oyster mushrooms and will facilitate molecular breeding for cap color. IMPORTANCE Oyster mushrooms are widely cultivated and consumed over the world for their easy cultivation and high biological efficiency (mushroom fresh weight/substrate dry weight × 100%). Fruiting bodies with dark caps are more and more popular according to consumer preferences, but dark varieties are rarely seen on the market. Little is known about the genetic mechanism of the cap color trait in oyster mushrooms, which limits molecular breeding for the improvement of cap color-type cultivars. A major QTL of cap color in oyster mushroom P. cornucopiae was fine mapped by using bulked-segregant analysis (BSA) and extreme-phenotype genome-wide association study (XP-GWAS) analysis. A candidate gene PcTYR coding tyrosinase was further identified with the help of comparative transcriptome analysis. qPCR analysis and genetic transformation tests proved that PcTYR played an essential role in cap color formation. This study will contribute to revealing the genetic mechanism of cap color formation in mushrooms, thereby facilitating molecular breeding for cap color trait.

Abstract
The genus Pleurotus, namely oyster mushroom, is widely cultivated and consumed worldwide. Cap color is an important commercial trait for oyster mushroom. Diverse color is determined by various pigment constituents. However, the pigments of oyster mushrooms are still ambiguous. In this study, we extracted and identified pigments of oyster mushroom species with black, yellow and pink cap color. The extracted pigments appearing the three color types correspondingly to the cap color, which were all identified as melanin using a panel of spectroscopic and physical/imaging techniques. Nevertheless, HPLC and elemental analysis indicated that the melanin in oyster mushrooms was actually a mixture of eumelanin and phaeomelanin. Differences in the quantities and relative proportions of eumelanin and phaeomelanin resulted in the color variation in oyster mushroom caps. Electron microscopy studies showed that the melanin units are likely located in the cell wall, as reported in other fungi. The pigments in oyster mushrooms with three different cap color were extracted and identified for the first time in this study, which provided fundamental knowledge for future studies on the mechanism of color formation in mushrooms.

Analysis of the Genome Sequence of Strain GiC-126 of Gloeostereum incarnatum with Genetic Linkage Map. MYCOBIOLOGY 2021; 49:406-420. [PMID: 34512084 PMCID: PMC8409960 DOI: 10.1080/12298093.2021.1954321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Revised: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Gloeostereum incarnatum has edible and medicinal value and was first cultivated and domesticated in China. We sequenced the G. incarnatum monokaryotic strain GiC-126 on an Illumina HiSeq X Ten system and obtained a 34.52-Mb genome assembly sequence that encoded 16,895 predicted genes. We combined the GiC-126 genome with the published genome of G. incarnatum strain CCMJ2665 to construct a genetic linkage map (GiC-126 genome) that had 10 linkage groups (LGs), and the 15 assembly sequences of CCMJ2665 were integrated into 8 LGs. We identified 1912 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci and detected 700 genes containing 768 SSRs in the genome; 65 and 100 of them were annotated with gene ontology (GO) terms and KEGG pathways, respectively. Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were identified in 20 fungal genomes and annotated; among them, 144 CAZymes were annotated in the GiC-126 genome. The A mating-type locus (MAT-A) of G. incarnatum was located on scaffold885 at 38.9 cM of LG1 and was flanked by two homeodomain (HD1) genes, mip and beta-fg. Fourteen segregation distortion markers were detected in the genetic linkage map, all of which were skewed toward the parent GiC-126. They formed three segregation distortion regions (SDR1-SDR3), and 22 predictive genes were found in scaffold1920 where three segregation distortion markers were located in SDR1. In this study, we corrected and updated the genomic information of G. incarnatum. Our results will provide a theoretical basis for fine gene mapping, functional gene cloning, and genetic breeding the follow-up of G. incarnatum.

Abstract
Background With an enormous amount of research concerning kidney cancer being conducted, various treatments have been applied to its cure. However, high recurrence and metastasis rates continue to pose a threat to the survival of patients with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). Methods Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas were downloaded, and a series of analyses were performed, including differential analysis, Cox analysis, weighted gene coexpression network analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis, multivariate Cox analysis, survival analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curve and functional enrichment analysis. Results A total of 5,777 differentially expressed genes were identified from the differential analysis. The Cox analysis showed 1,853 significant genes (P < 0.01). Weighted gene coexpression network analysis revealed that 226 genes in the module were related to clinical parameters, including Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) staging. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and multivariate Cox analyses suggested that four genes (CDKL2, LRFN1, STAT2, and SOWAHB) had a potential function in predicting the survival time of patients with KIRC. Survival analysis uncovered that a high risk of these four genes was associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis further confirmed the accuracy of the risk score model. The analysis of clinicopathological parameters of the four identified genes revealed that they were associated with the progression of KIRC. Conclusion The gene expression model consisting of CDKL2, LRFN1, STAT2, and SOWAHB is a promising tool for predicting the prognosis of patients with KIRC. The results of this study may provide insights into the diagnosis and treatment of KIRC.

Abstract
Tetraena mongolica is a xerophytic shrub endemic to desert regions in Inner Mongolia. This species has evolved distinct survival strategies that allow it to adapt to hyper-drought and heterogeneous habitats. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) may provide a molecular basis in plants for fast adaptation to environmental change. Thus, identifying SSRs and their possible effects on gene behavior has the potential to provide valuable information for studies of adaptation. In this study, we sequenced six individual transcriptomes of T. mongolica from heterogeneous habitats, focused on SSRs located in genes, and identified 811 polymorphic SSRs. Of the identified SSRs, 172, 470, and 76 were located in 5' UTRs, CDSs, and 3' UTRs in 591 transcripts; and AG/CT, AAC/GTT, and AT/AT were the most abundant repeats in each gene region. Functional annotation showed that many of the identified polymorphic SSRs were in genes that were enriched in several GO terms and KEGG pathways, suggesting the functional significance of these genes in the environmental adaptation process. The identification of polymorphic genic SSRs in our study lays a foundation for future studies investigating the contribution of SSRs to regulation of genes in natural populations of T. mongolica and their importance for adaptive evolution of this species.

Abstract
Recently, Morchella importuna, M. sextelata, M. eximia, M. exuberans, Mel-13, and Mel-21 have been successfully cultivated in China and planting areas rapidly expanded because of their economic importance. Effective molecular markers are urgently needed for accurately identifying morel cultivars. Microsatellites are widely utilized for strain authentication in many fungal groups. To our knowledge, for the first time we characterized the distribution of microsatellites (simple sequence repeats, SSRs) in the M. importuna genome with 12902 SSRs and reported the first set of SSRs developed for Morchella species. Mono-nucleotides (66.2 %) were the most frequent motifs, followed by tri- (15.4 %), di- (12.1 %), tetra- (3.7 %), penta- (1.3 %) and hexa-nucleotides (1.3 %). We tested the cross-species amplification of 180 SSRs on 24 samples from the six species and high cross-species transferability of SSRs (87.7 %) was found. Among twenty-two microsatellites selected for genetic diversity analysis on 127 samples from the six species, fifteen to twenty polymorphic loci were identified in M. importuna, M. sextelata, M. eximia, M. exuberans, Mel-13 and Mel-21. Interspecific hybridization events were detected among morel species, indicating the potential application of morel crossbreeding. Ninety-one cultivated samples were characterized as new cultivars with different genotypes, but cultivar names used for these by farmers was confusing, with misnaming, synonyms and homonyms. Our results are not only helpful for cultivar identification and morel breeding programs in China, but also provide molecular tools for genetic studies in morels.

Abstract
Fungal secretory heme peroxidase (Class II POD) plays a significant role in biomass conversion due to its lignin-degrading activity. In this study, genome-wide identification and bioinformatics were performed to analyze P leurotus ostreatus peroxidases (PoPODs). A total of six manganese peroxidases (MnPs) and three versatile peroxidases (VPs) were obtained. Bioinformatics analysis and qRT-PCR showed that P. ostreatus mnp6 (Pomnp6) and P. ostreatus vp3 (Povp3) could be involved in lignin degradation. Both Pomnp6 and Povp3 transgenetic fungi showed significantly increased lignin degradation of cotton stalks. 1H-NMR revealed that Pomnp6 and Povp3 may preferentially degrade S-lignin in cotton stalks and mainly break β-O-4' bond linkages and hydroxyl. These results support the possible utility of Pomnp6 and Povp3 in natural straw resources and development of sustainable energy.

Abstract
The ascomycete fungus Colletotrichum truncatum is a major phytopathogen with a broad host range which causes anthracnose disease of chilli. The genome sequencing of this fungus led to the discovery of functional categories of genes that may play important roles in fungal pathogenicity. However, the presence of gaps in C. truncatum draft assembly prevented the accurate prediction of repetitive elements, which are the key players to determine the genome architecture and drive evolution and host adaptation. We re-sequenced its genome using single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology to obtain a refined assembly with lesser and smaller gaps and ambiguities. This enabled us to study its genome architecture by characterising the repetitive sequences like transposable elements (TEs) and simple sequence repeats (SSRs), which constituted 4.9 and 0.38% of the assembled genome, respectively. The comparative analysis among different Colletotrichum species revealed the extensive repeat rich regions, dominated by Gypsy superfamily of long terminal repeats (LTRs), and the differential composition of SSRs in their genomes. Our study revealed a recent burst of LTR amplification in C. truncatum, C. higginsianum, and C. scovillei. TEs in C. truncatum were significantly associated with secretome, effectors and genes in secondary metabolism clusters. Some of the TE families in C. truncatum showed cytosine to thymine transitions indicative of repeat-induced point mutation (RIP). C. orbiculare and C. graminicola showed strong signatures of RIP across their genomes and "two-speed" genomes with extensive AT-rich and gene-sparse regions. Comparative genomic analyses of Colletotrichum species provided an insight into the species-specific SSR profiles. The SSRs in the coding and non-coding regions of the genome revealed the composition of trinucleotide repeat motifs in exons with potential to alter the translated protein structure through amino acid repeats. This is the first genome-wide study of TEs and SSRs in C. truncatum and their comparative analysis with six other Colletotrichum species, which would serve as a useful resource for future research to get insights into the potential role of TEs in genome expansion and evolution of Colletotrichum fungi and for development of SSR-based molecular markers for population genomic studies.

Abstract
Pleurotus genus is one of most extensively studied white-rot fungi due to its exceptional ligninolytic properties. It is an edible mushroom and it also has several biological effects, as it contains important bioactive molecules. In basidiomycete fungi, lignocellulolytic enzymes are affected by many typical fermentation factors, such as medium composition, ratio of carbon to nitrogen, pH, temperature, air composition, etc. The survival and multiplication of mushrooms is related to a number of factors, which may act separately or have interactive effects among them. Out that understanding challenges in handling Pleurotus species mushroom requires a fundamental understanding of their physical, chemical, biological and enzymatic properties. This review presents a practical checklist of available intrinsic and extrinsic factors, providing useful synthetic information that may help different users. An in-depth understanding of the technical features is needed for an appropriate and efficient production of Pleurotus spp.
