  • 摘要: 【目的】对尖孢镰刀菌古巴专化型野生型菌株及其胱硫醚γ-合酶基因(FoMETB)敲除突变体(ΔFoMETB)进行转录组测序,分析氨基酸合成通路中富集的差异表达基因(DEGs)的功能,为深入探究该病菌的致病机理和香蕉枯萎病的绿色防控提供理论依据。【方法】利用转录组测序技术对尖孢镰刀菌古巴专化型野生型菌株和ΔFoMETB菌株在PDB培养基中振荡培养18 h后的菌丝进行转录组测序,对筛选出的DEGs进行GO功能注释和KEGG信号通路富集分析,利用in silico技术分析氨基酸合成通路中富集的DEGs的功能,利用实时荧光定量PCR对转录组测序结果进行验证。【结果】野生型菌株和ΔFoMETB菌株的转录组测序共鉴定出10140个基因,其中在野生型菌株中特异表达的基因有923个、在ΔFoMETB菌株中特异表达的基因有706个、在野生型菌株和ΔFoMETB菌株均表达的基因有8511个;相较野生型菌株,ΔFoMETB菌株共有3077个DEGs,包括1598个上调和1479个下调的DEGs。GO功能注释分析结果显示,共有2465个DEGs注释在529个GO功能条目,显著富集的前4个GO功能条目为属于分子功能的辅酶结合和属于生物学过程的有机酸代谢过程、含氧酸代谢过程和羧酸代谢过程。KEGG信号通路富集分析结果显示,DEGs数量富集最多的前20个通路中有8个通路与氨基酸的合成与代谢相关。对氨基酸合成通路中的51个DEGs进行in silico分析发现,其中有22个DEGs已在不同种类真菌中被鉴定,其参与调控真菌的致病性、生长发育、氮源利用、氨基酸合成和次级代谢产物合成。利用实时荧光定量PCR检测10个DEGs的表达情况,其结果与转录组测序结果基本一致。【结论】FoMETB基因通过调控氨基酸合成通路中的关键DEGs来影响尖孢镰刀菌古巴专化型的生理特性和致病性。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】To perform transcriptome sequencing on the wild-type strain of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense(Foc)and the cystathionine γ-synthase gene(FoMETB)knockout mutant(ΔFoMETB),and to analyze the functions of differentially expressed genes(DEGs)enriched in the amino acid synthesis pathway,which could provide reference for exploring the virulence mechanism of this fungus and green control of banana fusarium wilt disease.【Method】 Transcriptome sequencing technology was used to conduct transcriptome sequencing on Foc wild type strain and the ΔFoMETB strain after 18 h of shaking culture in liquid PDB medium. The DEGs were annotated for GO functional categories and analyzed for KEGG signaling pathway enrichment. In silico technology was employed to analyze the functions of DEGs enriched in the amino acid synthesis pathway. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to validate the results of the transcriptomic sequencing.【Result】Transcriptome sequencing of wild type strain and ΔFoMETB strain identified a total of 10140 genes,among which 923 genes were specifically expressed in wild type strain,706 genes were specifically expressed in ΔFoMETB strain,and 8511 genes were expressed in both wild type strain and ΔFoMETB strain. Compared with wild type strain,there were 3077 DEGs in ΔFoMETB strain,including 1598 up-regulated genes and 1479 down-regulated genes. GO function annotation analysis showed that 2465 DEGs were enriched in 529 GO terms,with the top 4 significantly enriched GO terms related to molecular functions such as coenzyme binding and biological processes including organic acid metabolic process,oxygen acid metabolic process and carboxylic acid metabolic process. KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis revealed that 8 out of the top 20 pathways with DEGs enrichment number were associated with amino acid synthesis and metabolism. In silico analysis of 51 DEGs in the amino acid synthesis pathway found that 22 genes have been identified in different types of fungi,involved in regulating fungal pathogenicity,growth and development,nitrogen source utilization,amino acid synthesis and secondary metabolite synthesis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of 10 DEGs,and the results were consistent with the transcriptomic sequencing data.【Conclusion】The FoMETB gene affects the physiological characteristics and pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense by regulating the key DEGs in the amino acid synthesis pathway.
