Abstract
Transcription factors (TFs) play a crucial role in gene expression, and studying them can lay the foundation for future research on the functional characterization of TFs involved in various biological processes. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide identification and analysis of TFs in the thermotolerant basidiomycete fungus, Coriolopsis trogii. The TF repertoire of C. trogii consisted of 350 TFs, with C2H2 and Zn2C6 being the largest TF families. When the mycelia of C. trogii were cultured on PDA and transferred from 25 to 35 °C, 14 TFs were up-regulated and 14 TFs were down-regulated. By analyzing RNA-seq data from mycelia cultured at different temperatures and under different carbon sources, we identified 22 TFs that were differentially expressed in more than three comparisons. Co-expression analysis revealed that seven differentially expressed TFs, including four Zn2C6s, one Hap4_Hap_bind, one HMG_box, and one Zinc_knuckle, showed significant correlation with 729 targeted genes. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive characterization of the TF family and systematically screens TFs involved in the high-temperature adaptation of C. trogii, laying the groundwork for further research into the specific roles of TFs in the heat tolerance mechanisms of filamentous fungi.

Microb Biotechnol 2024; 17:e14413. [PMID: 38376071 PMCID: PMC10877997 DOI: 10.1111/1751-7915.14413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (TF) is widespread among eukaryotes and serves different roles in fungal processes including nutrient utilization, growth, stress responses and development. The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is an important and widely cultivated edible mushroom worldwide; nevertheless, reports are lacking on the identification or function of bZIP gene family members in P. ostreatus. Herein, 11 bZIPs on 6 P. ostreatus chromosomes were systematically identified, which were classified into 3 types according to their protein sequences. Phylogenetic analysis of PobZIPs with other fungal bZIPs indicated that PobZIPs may have differentiated late. Cis-regulatory element analysis revealed that at least one type of stress-response-related element was present on each bZIP promoter. RNA-seq and RT-qPCR analyses revealed that bZIP expression patterns were altered under heat stress and different developmental stages. We combined results from GST-Pull-down, EMSA and yeast two-hybrid assays to screen a key heat stress-responsive candidate gene PobZIP3. PobZIP3 overexpression in P. ostreatus enhanced tolerance to high temperature and cultivation assays revealed that PobZIP3 positively regulates the development of P. ostreatus. RNA-seq analysis showed that PobZIP3 plays a role in glucose metabolism pathways, antioxidant enzyme activity and sexual reproduction. These results may support future functional studies of oyster mushroom bZIP TFs.

MAC Family Transcription Factors Enhance the Tolerance of Mycelia to Heat Stress and Promote the Primordial Formation Rate of Pleurotus ostreatus. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 10:13. [PMID: 38248923 PMCID: PMC10816978 DOI: 10.3390/jof10010013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus is a typical tetrapolar heterologous edible mushroom, and its growth and development regulatory mechanism has become a research hotspot in recent years. The MAC1 protein is a transcription factor that perceives copper and can regulate the expression of multiple genes, thereby affecting the growth and development of organisms. However, its function in edible mushrooms is still unknown. In this study, two transcription factor genes, PoMCA1a and PoMAC1b, were identified. Afterwards, PoMAC1 overexpression (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi) strains were constructed to further explore gene function. The results showed that the PoMAC1 mutation had no significant effect on the growth rate of mycelia. Further research has shown that OE-PoMAC1a strains and RNAi-PoMAC1b strains exhibit strong tolerance under 32 °C heat stress. However, under 40 °C heat stress, the OE of PoMAC1a and PoMAC1b promoted the recovery of mycelial growth after heat stress. Second, the OE of PoMAC1a can promote the rapid formation of primordia and shorten the cultivation cycle. In summary, this study indicated that there are functional differences between PoMAC1a and PoMAC1b under different heat stresses during the vegetative growth stage, and PoMAC1a has a positive regulatory effect on the formation of primordia during the reproductive growth stage.

Comprehensive Analysis of the Catalase ( CAT) Gene Family and Expression Patterns in Rubber Tree ( Hevea brasiliensis) under Various Abiotic Stresses and Multiple Hormone Treatments. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:70. [PMID: 38203241 PMCID: PMC10779098 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Catalase (CAT) is one of the key enzymes involved in antioxidant defense systems and mainly scavenges H2O2 and plays a vital role in plant growth, development, and various adverse stresses. To date, a systematic study of the CAT gene family in rubber tree has not been reported. In this study, five HbCAT gene family members were identified from the rubber tree genome, and these were mainly clustered into two subfamilies. Gene structure and motif analysis showed that exon-intron and motif patterns were conserved across different plant species. Sequence analysis revealed that HbCAT proteins contain one active catalytic site, one heme-ligand signature sequence, three conserved amino acid residues (His, Tyr, and Asn), and one peroxisome-targeting signal 1 (PTS1) sequence. Fragment duplication is a selection pressure for the evolution of the HbCAT family based on Ka/Ks values. Analysis of cis-acting elements in the promoters indicated that HbCAT gene expression might be regulated by abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), and MYB transcription factors; furthermore, these genes might be involved in plant growth, development, and abiotic stress responses. A tissue-specific expression analysis showed that HbCATs gradually increased with leaf development and were highly expressed in mature leaves. Gene expression profiling exhibited the differential expression of the HbCATs under cold, heat, drought, and NaCl stresses. Our results provide comprehensive information about the HbCAT gene family, laying the foundation for further research on its function in rubber tree.

Abstract
Temperature plays an impactful role in mushroom cultivation. To obtain insights of transcriptomic response in macrofungi against heat stress, we performed RNA-seq analysis using Pleurotus tuoliensis mycelium cells that were treated under 32 °C and 36 °C for consecutive 96 h. By comparing the growth rate data, we found mycelium cells could maintain normal growth rate almost the same as control under 32 °C, yet halted the growths under 36 °C. In total, 2724 differential expressed genes were identified from the three pair-wise comparisons, which were classified to four clusters based on their expression patterns. We also performed gene set enrichment analysis using both GO and KEGG databases, and revealed 48, 113 and 105 enriched GO terms, and 1, 5, and 6 enriched KEGG pathways for three pair-wise comparisons accordingly. In addition, we identified 9 overlapping GO terms and 1 overlapping KEGG pathway shared by the three comparisons. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in cell communication, amino acid metabolic process, intracellular signal transduction and small molecule biosynthesis were identified in two heat stress treatments despite of the stress intensity. However, the expression of two heat shock protein genes (HSP10 and HSP60) were induced by increasing temperature. Our findings also suggested the DEGs associated with cell cycle regulation had various expression patterns under two heat stress conditions possibly due to different functions. Furthermore, 11 DEGs related to ergosterol biosynthesis were identified with similar expression trends, indicating the ergosterol levels and cell membrane composition may have a tight connection to the acquisition of thermotolerance, which warrant further investigations for deeper understanding of molecular mechanisms in fungal stress responses.

Abstract
Flavonoids are chemical compounds that occur widely across the plant kingdom. They are considered valuable food additives with pro-health properties, and their sources have also been identified in other kingdoms. Especially interesting is the ability of edible mushrooms to synthesize flavonoids. Mushrooms are usually defined as a group of fungal species capable of producing macroscopic fruiting bodies, and there are many articles considering the content of flavonoids in this group of fungi. Whereas the synthesis of flavonoids was revealed in mycelial cells, the ability of mushroom fruiting bodies to produce flavonoids does not seem to be clearly resolved. This article, as an overview of the latest key scientific findings on flavonoids in mushrooms, outlines and organizes the current state of knowledge on the ability of mushroom fruiting bodies to synthesize this important group of compounds for vital processes. Putting the puzzle of the current state of knowledge on flavonoid biosynthesis in mushroom cells together, we propose a universal scheme of studies to unambiguously decide whether the fruiting bodies of individual mushrooms are capable of synthesizing flavonoids.

Front Microbiol 2022; 13:997485.

Abstract
Strain degradation is a common problem in many artificially-cultivated edible mushrooms. As a fungus with poor tolerance to low-temperature, Volvariella volvacea cannot delay its degradation by long-term low temperature storage like other fungi, so its degradation is particularly severe, which hinders industrial applications. Periodic mycelial subculture is a common storage method for V. volvacea, but excessive subculturing can also lead to strain degeneration. After 20 months of continuous subculturing every 3 days, V. volvacea strains S1–S20 were obtained, and their characteristics throughout the subculture process were analyzed. With increasing number of subculture, the growth rate, mycelial biomass, the number of fruiting bodies and biological efficiency gradually decreased while the production cycle and the time to primordium formation was lengthened. Strains S13–S20, obtained after 13–20 months of mycelial subculturing, also lacked the ability to produce fruiting bodies during cultivation experiments. Determination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) content as well as enzyme activity showed that decreased lignocellulase activity, along with excessive accumulation of ROS, was concomitant with the subculture-associated degeneration of V. volvacea. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was eventually used to analyze the gene expression for lignocellulase and antioxidant enzymes in subcultured V. volvacea strains, with the results found to be consistent with prior observations regarding enzyme activities. These findings could form the basis of further studies on the degeneration mechanism of V. volvacea and other fungi.

Functional Roles of LaeA-like Genes in Fungal Growth, Cellulase Activity, and Secondary Metabolism in Pleurotus ostreatus. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:jof8090902.

Abstract
The global regulator LaeA plays crucial roles in morphological development and secondary metabolite biosynthesis in filamentous fungi. However, the functions of LaeA in basidiomycetes are less reported. The basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus is a well-known fungus used both in medicine and as food that produces polysaccharides and cellulolytic enzymes. In this study, we characterized three LaeA homologs (PoLaeA1, PoLaeA2, and PoLaeA3) in P. ostreatus. PoLaeA1 showed different expression patterns than PoLaeA2 and PoLaeA3 during different developmental stages. Silencing PoLaeA1 decreased the intracellular polysaccharide (IPS) content by approximately 28–30% and reduced intracellular ROS levels compared with those of the WT strain. However, silencing PoLaeA2 and PoLaeA3 decreased cellulase activity by 31–34% and 35–40%, respectively, and reduced the cytosolic Ca2+ content, compared with those of the WT strain. Further analysis showed that PoLaeA1 regulated IPS biosynthesis through intracellular ROS levels, whereas PoLaeA2 and PoLaeA3 regulated cellulase activity through intracellular Ca2+ signaling. Our results provide new insights into the regulation of polysaccharide biosynthesis and cellulase production in filamentous fungi.

Mnsod1 promotes the development of Pleurotus ostreatus and enhances the tolerance of mycelia to heat stress. Microb Cell Fact 2022; 21:155.

Abstract
Background Superoxide dismutases (SODs, EC 1.15.1.1) are defense proteins that can be used as sweepers to clear reactive oxygen species (ROS). They have been widely studied in the plant. Intensive research demonstrates that SOD plays an essential role in plants. However, in Pleurotus ostreatus, the function and regulatory pathway of SOD in the growth and development and the abiotic stress response have not been clear. Results In this study, three MnSOD-encoding genes of the P. ostreatus CCMSSC00389 strain were cloned and identified. Mnsod1, Mnsod2, and Mnsod3 were interrupted by 3, 7, and 2 introns, and encoded proteins of 204, 220, and 344 amino acids, respectively. By comparing the relative expression of three MnSOD-encoding genes in mycelia, the results showed that the gene with the highest primary expression was Mnsod1. Subsequently, the function of P. ostreatus Mnsod1 was explored by overexpression (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi). The results showed that during the growth and development of P. ostreatus, MnSOD1 protein increased gradually from mycelia to the fruiting body, but decreased in spores. The change of Mnsod1 transcription level was not consistent with the changing trend of MnSOD1 protein. Further studies showed that during primordia formation, the expression of Mnsod1 gradually increased, reaching a peak at 48 h, and the transcription level was 2.05-folds compared to control. H2O2 content progressively accumulated during the formation of primordia, and its change trend was similar to that of Mnsod1 transcription. OE-Mnsod1-1 and OE-Mnsod1-21 strains accelerated the formation of primordia. The results suggested that Mnsod1 may participate in the formation rate of P. ostreatus primordium by regulating the signal molecule H2O2. In addition, OE-Mnsod1-1 and OE-Mnsod1-21 strains shortened the mycelial recovery time after heat stress and improved the tolerance of the strains to 2.5 mM and 5 mM H2O2, which showed that Mnsod1 was involved in the response of P. ostreatus mycelium to heat stress. Conclusions This study indicates that Mnsod1 plays an active role in the formation of P. ostreatus primordia and the response to abiotic stress.

Abstract
Ganoderma lucidum has a wide carbon spectrum, while the expression profile of key genes relevant to carbon metabolism on different carbon sources has been seldom studied. Here, the transcriptomes of G. lucidum mycelia cultured on each of 19 carbon sources were conducted. In comparison with glucose, 16 to 1,006 genes were upregulated and 7 to 1,865 genes were downregulated. Significant gene expression dynamics and induced activity were observed in laccase genes when using agricultural and forestry residues (AFRs) as solo carbon sources. Furthermore, study of laccase gene family in two haploids of G. lucidum GL0102 was conducted. Totally, 15 and 16 laccase genes were identified in GL0102_53 and GL0102_8, respectively, among which 15 pairs were allelic genes. Gene structures were conserved between allelic laccase genes, while sequence variations (most were SNPs) existed. Nine laccase genes rarely expressed on all the tested carbon sources, while the other seven genes showed high expression level on AFRs, especially Gllac2 and Gllac7, which showed 5- to 1,149-fold and 4- to 94-fold upregulation in mycelia cultured for 5 days, respectively. The expression of H53lac7 was consistently higher than that of H8lac7_1 on all the carbon sources except XM, exhibiting a case of allelic expression bias. A total of 47 SNPs and 3 insertions/deletions were observed between promoters of H53lac7 and H8lac7_1, which lead to differences in predicted binding sites of zinc fingers. These results provide scientific data for understanding the gene expression profile and regulatory role on different carbon sources and may support further functional research of laccase.

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.

Abstract
Temperature is one of the key factors that affects the growth and development of macrofungi. Heat stress not only negatively affects the morphology and growth rate of macrofungi, but also destroys cell structures and influences cell metabolism. Due to loosed structure of cell walls and increased membrane fluidity, which caused by heat stress, the outflow of intracellular nutrients makes macrofungi more vulnerable to invasion by pathogens. Macrofungi accumulate reactive oxygen species (ROS), Ca2+, and nitric oxide (NO) when heat-stressed, which transmit and amplify the heat stimulation signal through intracellular signal transduction pathways. Through regulation of some transcription factors including heat response factors (HSFs), POZCP26 and MYB, macrofungi respond to heat stress by different mechanisms. In this paper, we present mechanisms used by macrofungi to adapt and survive under heat stress conditions, including antioxidant defense systems that eliminate the excess ROS, increase in trehalose levels that prevent enzymes and proteins deformation, and stabilize cell structures and heat shock proteins (HSPs) that repair damaged proteins and synthesis of auxins, which increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes. All of these help macrofungi resist and adapt to heat stress. KEY POINTS: • The effects of heat stress on macrofungal growth and development were described. • The respond mechanisms to heat stress in macrofungi were summarized. • The further research directions of heat stress in macrofungi were discussed.

Abstract
Hydrophobins are small, secreted proteins with important physiological functions in mycelial growth and fungal development. Here, 1 nucleus-specific and 35 allelic hydrophobin genes were identified in the genome of a white rot fungus, Coriolopsis trogii. Among these, 22 were eight-cysteine class I hydrophobin genes and the other 14 were uncommon six-cysteine hydrophobin genes. The six-cysteine hydrophobins were speculated to have originated from a common ancestor. The hydrophobin genes favored a clustering distribution and two recent duplication pairs were identified. The genes had conserved gene structures with three exons and two introns. Cthyd18, Cthyd19, and Cthyd32 were constitutively highly expressed in all developmental stages. Cthyd20, Cthyd21, Cthyd22, Cthyd28, Cthyd30, Cthyd31, and Cthyd33 were highly expressed in mycelia, and Cthyd12 and Cthyd35 in the reproductive stages. Sixteen hydrophobin genes were regulated differently in the transition from mycelia to primordia; Cthyd35 showed maximal upregulation of 1922-fold, and Cthyd23 showed maximal downregulation of 552-fold. Most (32) hydrophobin genes showed significant differential expression between mycelia cultured in different media (potato dextrose agar or broth). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis and promoter analysis revealed that C2H2 zinc finger proteins may regulate hydrophobin genes. These results may support further research into the function and evolution of hydrophobins.

Alternative oxidase gene induced by nitric oxide is involved in the regulation of ROS and enhances the resistance of Pleurotus ostreatus to heat stress. Microb Cell Fact 2021; 20:137. [PMID: 34281563 PMCID: PMC8287771 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-021-01626-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 07/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In China, during the cultivation process of Pleurotus ostreatus, the yield and quality of fruiting bodies are easily affected by high temperatures in summer. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important regulatory role in the response to abiotic stress, and previous studies have found that NO can induce alternative oxidase (aox) experssion in response to heat stress (HS) by regulating aconitase. However, the regulatory pathway of NO is complex, and the function and regulation of the aox gene in the response to HS remain unclear. Results In this study, we found that NO affected nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, reduced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2−) contents, and slowed O2− production. Further RNA-Seq results showed that NO regulated the oxidation-reduction process and oxidoreductase activity, affected the cellular respiration pathway and activated aox gene expression. The function of aox was determined by constructing overexpression (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi) strains. The results showed that the OE-aox strains exhibited obviously improved growth recovery after exposure to HS. During exposure to HS, the OE-aox strains exhibited reduced levels of NADH, the product of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and decreased synthesis of ATP, which reduced the production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), whereas the RNAi-aox strains exhibited the opposite result. In addition, aox mediated the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes in the mycelia of P. ostreatus under HS through the retrograde signaling pathway. Conclusions This study shows that the expression of the aox gene in P. ostreatus mycelia can be induced by NO under HS, that it regulates the TCA cycle and cell respiration to reduce the production of ROS, and that it can mediate the retrograde signaling pathway involved in the mycelial response to HS.

Abstract
Stropharia rugosoannulata is a popular edible mushroom in the world. High temperature seriously affects its yield and quality. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on the mycelia of heat-resistant strains and heat-sensitive strains heat-treated at 38 °C for 0 h and 24 h. The changes of catalase (CAT) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and trehalose content in the mycelia under high temperature stress were also measured and analyzed. We find that the differential genes are mainly enriched in the pathways of glycerophospholipid metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, etc. The expression levels of genes encoding trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP), CAT, SOD, etc. are quite different. And these genes' variation range in the thermotolerant strain are higher than that in heat-sensitive strain. The CAT activity and trehalose content of the two strains increase first and then decrease, and the SOD activity increase slowly. The CAT, SOD activity and trehalose content of the thermotolerant strain are higher than those of the heat-sensitive strain. This study will provide a basis for further research on important signal pathways and gene function identification of S. rugosoannulata related to high temperature stress.

Abstract
Heat stress is an important adverse environmental stress that influences the growth and development of Hypsizygus marmoreus (white var.). However, the molecular basis of heat stress response in H. marmoreus remains poorly understood. In this study, label-free comparative proteomic technique was applied to investigate global protein expression profile of H. marmoreus mycelia under heat stress. Confocal laser scanning microscope observation revealed that mycelia underwent autolysis and apoptosis under heat stress. Autolysis was mediated by upregulating the expression of cell wall degradation enzymes and inhibiting cell wall synthesis enzymes, and apoptosis might be induced by ROS and activation of caspases. TBARS analysis indicated that ROS was accumulated in H. marmoreus mycelia under heat stress. H. marmoreus induced antioxidant defense system by upregulating the expression of catalases, superoxide dismutases and peroxidases to prevent oxidative damage. MAPK cascade was found to be involved in heat stress signal transduction. The stress signal induced a ubiquitous defense response: inducible expression of different kinds of heat shock proteins. Trehalose synthesis enzymes were also upregulated, suggesting the accumulation of stress protector trehalose under heat stress. Besides, upregulated proteasome was identified, which could prevented the accumulation of non-functional misfolding proteins. To satisfy ATP depletion in heat response cellular processes, such as ROS scavenging, and protein folding and synthesis, enzymes involved in energy production (carbon metabolism and ATP synthesis) system were upregulated under heat stress. Taken together, these findings improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the response of heat stress in H. marmoreus.

Immunoproteomic Analysis Reveals Novel Candidate Antigens for the Diagnosis of Paracoccidioidomycosis Due to Paracoccidioides lutzii. J Fungi (Basel) 2020; 6:jof6040357.

Abstract
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a life-threatening systemic infection caused by the fungal pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and related species. Whole-genome sequencing and stage-specific proteomic analysis of Paracoccidioides offer the opportunity to profile humoral immune responses against P. lutzii and P. brasiliensis s. str. infection using innovative screening approaches. Here, an immunoproteomic approach was used to identify PCM-associated antigens that elicit immune responses by combining 2-D electrophoresis of P. lutzii and P. brasiliensis proteomes, immunological detection using a gold-standard serum, and mass spectrometry analysis. A total of 16 and 25 highly immunoreactive proteins were identified in P. lutzii and P. brasiliensis, respectively, and 29 were shown to be the novel antigens for Paracoccidioides species, including seven uncharacterized proteins. Among the panel of proteins identified, most are involved in metabolic pathways, carbon metabolism, and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in both immunoproteomes. Remarkably, six isoforms of the surface-associated enolase in the range of 54 kDa were identified as the major antigens in human PCM due to P. lutzii. These novel immunoproteomes of Paracoccidioides will be employed to develop a sensitive and affordable point-of-care diagnostic assay and an effective vaccine to identify infected hosts and prevent infection and development of human PCM. These findings provide a unique opportunity for the refinement of diagnostic tools of this important neglected systemic mycosis, which is usually associated with poverty.

Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus is one of the most widely cultivated mushrooms in China. The regulatory mechanisms of fruiting body formation and the response to heat stress in P. ostreatus are main research focuses. The Zn(II)2Cys6 family is one of the largest families of transcriptional factors and plays important roles in multiple biological processes in fungi. In this study, we identified 66 zinc cluster proteins in P. ostreatus (PoZCPs) through a genome-wide search. The PoZCPs were classified into 15 types according to their zinc cluster domain. Physical and chemical property analyses showed a huge diversity among the PoZCPs. Phylogenetic analysis of PoZCPs classified these proteins into six groups and conserved motif combinations and similar gene structures were observed in each group. The expression profiles of these PoZCP genes during different developmental stages and under heat stress were further investigated by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), revealing diverse expression patterns. A total of 13 PoZCPs that may participate in development or the heat stress response were selected for validation of their expression levels through real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis, and some developmental stage-specific and heat stress-responsive candidates were identified. The findings contribute to our understanding of the roles and regulatory mechanisms of ZCPs in P. ostreatus.

Abstract
Our previous study found that LeDnaJ07 RNAi decreased Lentinula edodes resistance to heat stress and Trichoderma atroviride infection. In this study, the structure and function of the LeDnaJ07 gene was analyzed by gene cloning and overexpression in L. edodes stress-sensitive strain YS55 via the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method. Transformants were confirmed by qRT-PCR, fluorescence observation and Southern blotting. Overexpression of LeDnaJ07 in YS55 not only enhanced L. edodes mycelial resistance to heat stress but also facilitated mycelial growth. In the presence of heat stress, the intracellular IAA content showed a significant increase in the two LeDnaJ07 overexpression strains but only a slight change in the YS55 wild type strain. Moreover, the interaction between LeDnaJ07 and LetrpE was demonstrated via Y2H and BiFC assays. These results suggested that LeDnaJ07 may be involved in regulating IAA biosynthesis and the resistance of L. edodes to heat stresses via interacting with LetrpE.

Nitric Oxide Improves the Tolerance of Pleurotus ostreatus to Heat Stress by Inhibiting Mitochondrial Aconitase. Appl Environ Microbiol 2020; 86:AEM.02303-19. [PMID: 31862720 PMCID: PMC7028963 DOI: 10.1128/aem.02303-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 12/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Heat stress is one of the abiotic stresses that affect the growth and development of edible fungi. Our previous study found that exogenous NO had a protective effect on mycelia under heat stress. However, its regulatory mechanism had not been elucidated. In this study, we found that NO altered the respiratory pathway of mycelia under heat stress by regulating aco. The results have enhanced our understanding of NO signaling pathways in P. ostreatus. Pleurotus ostreatus is widely cultivated in China. However, its cultivation is strongly affected by seasonal temperature changes, especially the high temperatures of summer. Nitric oxide (NO) was previously reported to alleviate oxidative damage to mycelia by regulating trehalose. In this study, we found that NO alleviated oxidative damage to P. ostreatus mycelia by inhibiting the protein and gene expression of aconitase (ACO), and additional studies found that the overexpression and interference of aco could affect the content of citric acid (CA). Furthermore, the addition of exogenous CA can induce alternative oxidase (aox) gene expression under heat stress, reduce the content of H2O2 in mycelium, and consequently protect the mycelia under heat stress. An additional analysis focused on the function of the aox gene in the heat stress response of mycelia. The results show that the colony diameter of the aox overexpression (OE-aox) strains was significantly larger than that of the wild-type (WT) strain under heat stress (32°C). In addition, the mycelia of OE-aox strains showed significantly enhanced tolerance to H2O2. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that NO can affect CA accumulation by regulating aco gene and ACO protein expression and that CA can induce aox gene expression and thereby be a response to heat stress. IMPORTANCE Heat stress is one of the abiotic stresses that affect the growth and development of edible fungi.

Abstract
The 70-kD heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) have been proved to be important for stress tolerance and protein folding and unfolding in almost all organisms. However, the functions of Hsp70s in mushroom are not well understood. In the present study, a hsp70 gene from Hypsizygus marmoreus, hmhsp70, was cloned and transferred to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) to evaluate its function in thermotolerance. Sequence alignments and phylogenetic analysis revealed that HmHsp70 may be located in the mitochondria region. qPCR analysis revealed that the transcription level of hmhsp70 in H. marmoreus mycelia increased after heat shock treatment in high temperature (42 °C) compared with untreated mycelia (at 25 °C). Transgenic tobaccos expressing hmhsp70 gene showed enhanced resistance to lethal temperature compared with the wild type (WT) plants. Nearly 30% of the transgenic tobaccos survived after treated at a high temperature (50 °C and 52 °C for 4 h); however, almost all the WT tobaccos died after treated at 50 °C and no WT tobacco survived after heat shock at 52 °C. This study firstly showed the function of a hsp70 gene from H. marmoreus.

Integration of ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq Identifies Key Genes in Light-Induced Primordia Formation of Sparassis latifolia. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 21:ijms21010185. [PMID: 31888059 PMCID: PMC6981827 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21010185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2019] [Revised: 12/20/2019] [Accepted: 12/22/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Light is an essential environmental factor for Sparassis latifolia primordia formation, but the molecular mechanism is still unclear. In this study, differential expression profiling of light-induced primordia formation (LIPF) was established by integrating the assay for transposase accessible chromatin by sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA-seq technology. The integrated results from the ATAC-seq and RNA-seq showed 13 down-regulated genes and 17 up-regulated genes in both the L vs. D and P vs. D groups, for both methods. According to the gene ontology (GO) annotation of these differentially expressed genes (DEGs), the top three biological process categories were cysteine biosynthetic process via cystathionine, vitamin B6 catabolic, and glycine metabolic; the top three molecular function categories were 5-methyltetrahydropteroyltriglutamate-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity, glycine binding, and pyridoxal phosphate binding; cellular component categories were significantly enriched in the glycine cleavage complex. The KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were associated with vitamin B6 metabolism; selenocompound metabolism; cysteine and methionine metabolism; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism pathways. The expression of most of the DEGs was validated by qRT-PCR. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first integrative analysis of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq for macro-fungi. These results provided a new perspective on the understanding of key pathways and hub genes in LIPF in S. latifolia. It will be helpful in understanding the primary environmental response, and provides new information to the existing models of primordia formation in edible and medicinal fungi.

Abstract
Background Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.24) is the first key enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway. The pal gene has been widely studied in plants and participates in plant growth, development and defense systems. However, in Pleurotus ostreatus, the biological functions of pal during organismal development and exposure to abiotic stress have not been reported. Results In this study, we cloned and characterized the pal1 (2232 bp) and pal2 (2244 bp) genes from the basidiomycete P. ostreatus CCMSSC 00389. The pal1 and pal2 genes are interrupted by 6 and 10 introns, respectively, and encode proteins of 743 and 747 amino acids, respectively. Furthermore, prokaryotic expression experiments showed that PAL enzymes catalyzed the conversion of L-phenylalanine to trans-cinnamic acid. The function of pal1 and pal2 was determined by constructing overexpression (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi) strains. The results showed that the two pal genes had similar expression patterns during different developmental stages. The expression of pal genes was higher in the reproductive growth stage than in the vegetative growth stage. And the interference of pal1 and pal2 delayed the formation of primordia. The results of heat stress assays showed that the RNAi-pal1 strains had enhanced mycelial tolerance to high temperature, while the RNAi-pal2 strains had enhanced mycelial resistance to H2O2. Conclusions These results indicate that two pal genes may play a similar role in the development of P. ostreatus fruiting bodies, but may alleviate stress through different regulatory pathways under heat stress.

Purification and characterization of Terfezia claveryi TcCAT-1, a desert truffle catalase upregulated in mycorrhizal symbiosis. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0219300. [PMID: 31291312 PMCID: PMC6620010 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0219300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2019] [Accepted: 06/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Terfezia claveryi Chatin is a mycorrhizal fungus that forms ectendomycorrhizal associations with plants of Helianthemum genus. Its appreciated edibility and drought resistance make this fungus a potential alternative crop in arid and semiarid areas of the Mediterranean region. In order to increase the knowledge about the biology of this fungus in terms of mycorrhiza formation and response to drought stress, a catalase from T. claveryi (TcCAT-1) has been purified to apparent homogeneity and biochemically characterized; in addition, the expression pattern of this enzyme during different stages of T. claveryi biological cycle and under drought stress conditions are reported. The results obtained, together with the phylogenetic analysis and homology modeling, indicate that TcCAT-1 is a homotetramer large subunit size monofunctional-heme catalase belonging to Clade 2. The highest expression of this enzyme occurs in mature mycorrhiza, revealing a possible role in mycorrhiza colonization, but it is not upregulated under drought stress. However, the H2O2 content of mycorrhizal plants submitted to drought stress is lower than in well watered treatments, suggesting that mycorrhization improves the plant's oxidative stress response, although not via TcCAT-1 upregulation.

Trehalose induced by reactive oxygen species relieved the radial growth defects of Pleurotus ostreatus under heat stress. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2019; 103:5379-5390.

Abstract
Trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide, and it plays an intracellular protective role in organisms under various stress conditions. In this study, the trehalose synthesis and its protective role in Pleurotus ostreatus were investigated. As a signal in metabolic regulation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulated in the mycelia of P. ostreatus under heat stress (HS). Furthermore, mycelial growth was significantly inhibited, and the malondialdehyde (MDA) level significantly increased under HS. First, exogenous addition of H2O2 inhibited mycelial growth and elevated the MDA level, while N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and vitamin C (VC) reduced the MDA level and recovered mycelial growth under HS by scavenging ROS. These results indicated that the mycelial radial growth defect under HS might be partly caused by ROS accumulation. Second, adding NAC and VC to the media resulted in rescued trehalose accumulation, which indicated that ROS has an effect on inducing trehalose synthesis. Third, the mycelial growth was recovered by addition of trehalose to the media after HS, and the MDA level was reduced. This effect was further verified by the overexpression of genes for trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and neutral trehalase (NTH), which led to increased and reduced trehalose content, respectively. In addition, adding validamycin A (NTH inhibitor) to the media promoted trehalose accumulation and the recovered mycelial growth after HS. In conclusion, trehalose production was partly induced by ROS accumulation in the mycelia under HS, and the accumulated trehalose could promote the recovery of growth after HS, partly by reducing the MDA level in the mycelia.

Abstract
High temperature is a key limiting factor for mycelium growth and development in Pleurotus ostreatus. Thermotolerance includes the direct response to heat stress and the ability to recover from heat stress. To better understand the mechanism of thermotolerance in P. ostreatus, we used morphological and physiological analysis combined with an iTRAQ-based proteomics analysis of P. ostreatus subjected to 40°C for 48 h followed by recovery at 25°C for 3 days. High temperature increased the concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) indicating that the mycelium of P. ostreatus were damaged by heat stress. However, these physiological changes rapidly returned to control levels during the subsequent recovery phase from heat stress. In comparison to unstressed controls, a total of 204 proteins were changed during heat stress and/or the recovery phase. Wherein, there were 47 proteins that responded to both stress and recovery conditions, whereas 84 and 73 proteins were responsive to only heat stress or recovery conditions, respectively. Furthermore, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) confirmed differential expression of nine candidate genes revealed that some of the proteins, such as a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), and heat shock protein (HSP), were also regulated by heat stress at the level of transcription. These differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in mycelium of P. ostreatus under heat stress were from 13 biological processes. Moreover, protein-protein interaction analysis revealed that proteins involved in carbohydrate and energy metabolism, signal transduction, and proteins metabolism could be assigned to three heat stress response networks. On the basis of these findings, we proposed that effective regulatory protein expression related to MAPK-pathway, antioxidant enzymes, HSPs, and other stress response proteins, and glycolysis play important roles in enhancing P. ostreatus adaptation to and recovery from heat stress. Of note, this study provides useful information for understanding the thermotolerance mechanism for basidiomycetes.

Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus is a commercially grown mushroom species in China. However, studies on the mechanisms of the fruiting body development and stress response of P. ostreatus are still at a primary stage. In this study, we report the entire genome sequence of P. ostreatus CCMSSC03989. Then, we performed comprehensive genome-wide characterization and expression analysis of the MYB transcription factor family during a series of developmental stages and under the condition of heat stress. A 34.76 Mb genome was obtained through next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Bionano optical mapping approaches. The genome has a scaffold N50 of 1.1 Mb and contains 10.11% repeats, and 10,936 gene models were predicted. A total of 20 MYB genes (PoMYB) were identified across the genome, and the full-length open reading frames were isolated. The PoMYBs were classified into 1 repeat (1R), 2R, and 3R-MYB groups according to their MYB domain repeat numbers, and 3R-MYBs possessed relatively more introns than 1R and 2R-MYBs. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the PoMYBs were divided into four groups and showed close relationships with the MYB genes of plants and fungi. RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses revealed that PoMYB expression showed stage-specific patterns in reproductive stages and could be induced by heat stress. The P. ostreatus draft genome will promote genome-wide analysis, and our study of PoMYBs will promote further functional analysis of MYB genes in mushrooms.
