Abstract
Quantitative reverse transcription PCR analysis and total RNA staining demonstrated that Lentinula edodes recQ gene (Le.recQ) transcript is present in all the parts of the fruiting body, but in hymenophore at the highest density. Results of in situ RNA-RNA hybridization showed that the Le.recQ transcript level within the hymenophore is higher in the hymenium, subhymenium, and the outer region of the trama. Trama cells themselves contain a lower level of the transcript.

Abstract
This study investigated the molecular mechanism of the fruiting body development and sporulation in the cap of the Shiitake mushroom, Lentinula edodes. Although there has been much research into L. edodes, there remain significant gaps in our knowledge of how the species reproduces. In order to provide molecular resources and to understand the molecular mechanism of the fruiting body development in basidiomycete comprehensively, we searched for the genes which are important for fruiting body development and sporulation in the cap of mature fruiting body of L. edodes by using the whole-genome approach. Massive cDNA pyrosequencing was used to generate >7000 sequence contigs from mature fruiting bodies. We used Gene Ontology to categorize the contigs to form the catalog of genes expressed at the stage of the mature fruiting body. We also assigned the contigs into the KEGG pathways. The catalog of expressed genes indicates that the mature fruiting bodies (1) sense the external environment, (2) transmit signals to express genes through regulatory systems, (3) produce many proteins, (4) degrade unwanted proteins, (5) perform extensive biosynthesis, (6) generate energy, (7) regulate the internal environment, (8) transport molecules, (9) carry out cell division, and (10) differentiate and develop. After establishing the catalog of expressed genes in L. edodes, we used the LongSAGE approach to analyze the expression levels of genes found in mature fruiting bodies before (FB) and after (FBS) spores appeared. Gene-expression patterns according to GO categories were similar in these two stages. We have also successfully identified genes differentially expressed in FB and FBS. Fold-changes in expression levels of selected genes based on LongSAGE tag counts were similar to those obtained by real-time RT-PCR. The consistency between real-time RT-PCR and LongSAGE results indicates reliability of the LongSAGE results. Overall, this study provides valuable information on the fruiting processes of L. edodes through a combination of massive cDNA pyrosequencing and LongSAGE sequencing, and the knowledge thereby obtained may provide insight into the improvement of the yield of commercially grown Shiitake mushrooms.

Abstract
Lentinula edodes (Shiitake mushroom) is a common edible mushroom that has high nutritional and medical value. Although a number of genes involved in the fruit of the species have been identified, little is known about the process of differentiation from dikaryotic mycelium to primordium. In this study, serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was applied to determine the gene expression profiles of the dikaryotic mycelium and primordium of L. edodes in an effort to advance our understanding of the molecular basis of fruit body development. A total of 6363 tags were extracted (3278 from the dikaryotic mycelium and 3085 from the primordium), 164 unique tags matched the in-house expressed sequence tag (EST) database. The difference between the expression profiles of the dikaryotic mycelium and primordium suggests that a specific set of genes is required for fruit body development. In the transition from the mycelium to the primordium, different hydrophobins were expressed abundantly, fewer structural genes were expressed, transcription and translation became active, different genes became involved in intracellular trafficking, and stress responses were expressed. These findings advance our understanding of fruit body development. We used cDNA microarray hybridization and Northern blotting to verify the SAGE results, and found SAGE to be highly efficient in the performance of transcriptome analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first SAGE study of a mushroom.

Abstract
Gibberella zeae (anamorph: Fusarium graminearum), a self-fertile ascomycete, is an important pathogen of cereal crops. Here, we have focused on the genes specifically controlled by the mating type (MAT) locus, a master regulator of sexual developmental process in G. zeae. To identify these genes, we employed suppression subtractive hybridization between a G. zeae wild-type strain Z03643 and the isogenic self-sterile mat1-2 strain T43deltaM2-2. Both reverse Northern and cDNA microarray analyses using 291 subtractive unigenes confirmed that 58.8% (171 genes) were significantly down-regulated in T43deltaM2-2. Among these, 98 could be either manually or automatically annotated based on known functions of their possible homologs. Northern blot analysis revealed that all of the genes examined were differentially regulated by MAT1-2 during sexual development. This study is the first report on the set of genes that are transcriptionally altered by the deletion of MAT1-2 during sexual reproduction in G. zeae.

Abstract
To understand molecular mechanisms of the fruiting body development in basidiomycetes, we attempted to isolate developmentally regulated genes expressed specifically during the fruiting body formation of Lentinula edodes (Shiitake-mushroom). cDNA representational difference analysis (cDNA-RDA) between vegetatively growing mycelium and two developmental substages, primordium and mature fruiting body, resulted in an isolation of 105 individual genes (51 in primordium and 54 in mature fruiting body, respectively). A search of homology with the protein databases and two basidiomycetous genomes in Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Coprinopsis cinerea revealed that the obtained genes encoded various proteins similar to those involved in general metabolism, cell structure, signal transduction, and responses to stress; in addition, there were apparently several metabolic pathways and signal transduction cascades that could be involved in the fruiting body development. The expression products of several genes revealed no significant homologies to those in the databases, implying that those genes are unique in L. edodes and the encoding products may possess possible functions in the course of fruiting body development. RT-PCR analyses revealed that 20 candidates of the obtained genes were specifically or abundantly transcribed in the course of the fruiting body formation, suggesting that the obtained genes in this work play roles in fruiting body development in L. edodes.

Abstract
A cDNA homologue of Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc5(+) was isolated from the basidiomycete mushroom Lentinula edodes and it was named Le.cdc5 cDNA. The deduced Le.CDC5 (842 amino acid residues) possessed N-terminal amino acid sequence highly homologous to those of S. pombe cdc5(+) gene product (Sp.cdc5p) and Sp.cdc5p-related proteins (SPCDC5RPs). The N-terminal 185 amino acid peptide of Le.CDC5 (Le.CDC5(1-185) peptide) produced in Escherichia coli was subjected to random binding-site selection analysis, revealing that Le.CDC5(1-185) peptide binds to a 7-bp sequence with the consensus sequence of 5'GCAATGT3' (complementary; 5'ACATTGC3'). Genomic binding-site (GBS) cloning by using Le.CDC5(1-185) peptide resulted in an isolation of the DNA fragment that contained three sets of 7-bp consensus-like sequence and TATA box. The Le.CDC5 protein contained two putative phosphorylation sites of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A kinase) in its C-terminus. There exists a possible leucine zipper between the two phosphorylation sites. The Le.CDC5 fragment containing the two phosphorylation sites was actually phosphorylated by commercially available A kinase. Yeast two-hybrid analysis suggested the homodimerization of Le.CDC5 protein probably through the leucine zipper. Northern blot analysis showed that Le.cdc5 gene is most actively transcribed in primordia and small immature fruiting bodies of L. edodes, implying that Le.cdc5 may play a role in the beginning and early stage of fruiting-body formation.

Abstract
A new gene of Neurospora crassa, designated pco-1, was characterized and shown to regulate the expression of several genes which encode enzymes required for the catabolism of purines. Unlike the wild type, a pco-1 mutant created by repeat-induced point mutation cannot utilize purines as a nitrogen source. The PCO1 protein contains a Zn(II)2Cys6 binuclear cluster motif near its N-terminus, followed by a putative coiled-coil motif. A chemical crosslinking experiment demonstrated that PCO1 forms homodimers. PCO1 binds to CGG-N6-CCG elements located in the upstream promoter region of four genes encoding purine catabolic enzymes. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that a functional PCO1 protein is required for induction of xdh, which encodes xanthine dehydrogenase. Moreover, PCO1 was required for induction of three different purine catabolic enzymes. Two glutamine-rich domains occur in the C-terminal region of PCO1 and at least one of the glutamine-rich regions is required for PCO1 function, suggesting that they might play a role in transcriptional activation. The PCO1 protein does not interact with the global-acting NIT2 protein or the negative-acting NMR protein that functions in nitrogen catabolite repression. Induction of the xdh gene and synthesis of xanthine dehydrogenase is completely dependent upon PCO1, but does not require the global-acting NIT2 protein, suggesting that it is controlled by a novel regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Deoxynucleoside monophosphate kinase (dNMP kinase) of bacteriophage T5 (EC 2.7.4.13) was purified to apparent homogeneity from phage-infected Escherichia coli cells. Electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel showed that the enzyme has a molecular mass of about 29 kDa. The molecular mass of dNMP kinase estimated by analytical equilibrium ultracentrifugation turned out to be 29.14 +/- 3.03 kDa. These data suggest that the enzyme exists in solution as a monomer. The isoelectric point of dNMP kinase was found to be 4.2. The N-terminal amino acid sequence, comprising 21 amino acids, was determined to be VLVGLHGEAGSGKDGVAKLII. A comparison of this amino acid sequence and those of known enzymes with a similar function suggests the presence of a nucleotide-binding site in the sequenced region.

Abstract
The types, economic significance and methods of production of the principal cultivated mushrooms are described in outline. These organisms are all less than ideal for conventional genetic analysis and breeding, so molecular methods afford a particular opportunity to advance our understanding of their biology and potentially give the prospect of improvement by gene manipulation. The sequences described are limited to those found in GenBank by August 1999. The gene sequences isolated from the white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus, the shiitake Lentinula edodes, the oyster mushrooms Pleurotus spp., the paddy straw mushroom Volvariella volvacea and the enotake Flammulina velutipes are described. The largest group are genes from A. bisporus, which includes 29 for intracellular proteins and 12 for secreted proteins. In comparison, only a total of 26 sequences can be reported for the other cultivated species. A. bisporus is also the only cultivated species for which molecular karyotyping is already supported by reliable markers for all 13 of its chromosomes.

Abstract
We have previously isolated the uck1 gene encoding UMP-CMP kinase from the basidiomycete Lentinus edodes (Kaneko et al., 1998). It was shown to be most actively transcribed in hymenophores of mature fruiting bodies of L. edodes. The reduction of NDPs produced by the nucleoside monophosphate kinase to dNDPs has been known to be catalyzed by ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) which consists of a heterodimer of large and small subunits. So we attempted to isolate the L. edodes cDNA(s) of RNR and study the expression in L. edodes of the corresponding gene(s), resulting in an isolation of the small subunit cDNA from a mature fruiting-body cDNA library of the fungus. This cDNA, named Le.rnr2c, was shown to encode a 418 amino acids (aa) protein, named Le.RNR2, of which the deduced aa sequence shows an overall identity of 71.9% to that of Schizosaccharomyces pombe RNR small subunit. The Le.rnr2 gene was found to be most actively transcribed in hymenophores of mature fruiting body of L. edodes. The in situ RNA-RNA hybridization analysis showed the presence of markedly large amount of the Le.rnr2 transcript in both hymenium and outer region of trama in the hymenophore. The same experiment was done for the uck1 gene, obtaining a similar result. The hymenium contains many basidia in which fusion of two nuclei, meiosis, replication, etc. essential for production of basidiospores occur. The outer region of trama is the region branching out into subhymenium. These imply that Le.rnr2 gene (and uck1 gene) play a role mainly in the nucleotide biosynthesis essential both for production of basidiospores and for divergence of trama cells into subhymenium cells in the hymenophore.
