It is also a useful tool to compare metabolic differences within a genus. Species of <i>Pseudogymnoascus</i>, a genus under the phyla Ascomycota, have been shown to play an important role in the soil environment. They have been found in both polar and temperate regions and are a known producer of many extracellular hydrolases that contribute to soil decomposition. Despite the apparent importance of <i>Pseudogymnoascus</i> spp. in the soil ecosystem, investigations into their molecular functions are still very limited. In the present study, proteomic characterization of six <i>Pseudogymnoascus</i> spp. isolated from three biogeographic regions (the Arctic, Antarctic, and temperate regions) was carried out using tandem mass spectrometry. Prior to proteomic analysis, the optimization for protein extraction was carried out. Trichloroacetic acid‑acetone‑phenol was found to be the best extraction method to be used for proteomic profiling of <i>Pseudogymnoascus</i> spp. The proteomic analysis identified 2003 proteins that were successfully mapped to the UniProtKB database. The identified proteins were clustered according to their biological processes and molecular functions. The shared proteins found in all <i>Pseudogymnoascus</i> spp. (1201 proteins) showed a significantly close relationship in their basic cellular functions, despite differences in morphological structures. Analysis of <i>Pseudogymnoascus</i> spp. proteome also identified proteins that were unique to each region. However, a high number of these proteins belonged to protein families of similar molecular functions, namely, transferases and hydrolases. Our proteomic data can be used as a reference for <i>Pseudogymnoascus</i> spp. across different global regions and a foundation for future soil ecosystem function research.</p>","PeriodicalId":18779,"journal":{"name":"Mycologia","volume":" ","pages":"449-463"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140131921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(<i>TF</i>), or the white jelly mushroom, is well known for its myriad of pharmacological properties, such as immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antitumor, and antioxidant activities, and hypocholesterolemic and hepatoprotective effects that boost human health. Most of the studies of <i>TF</i> are concentrated on its polysaccharide (glucuronoxylomannan) composition, which is responsible for its pharmacological as well as rheological properties. It is well established that mushrooms are a great source of dietary vitamin D due to the presence of ergosterol in their cell membrane. There is a lack of published data on <i>TF</i> as a source of vitamin D<sub>2</sub>. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the vitamin D<sub>2</sub> composition of the fruiting bodies of <i>TF</i> using triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/QQQ). The results showed highest vitamin D<sub>2</sub> content (292.02 µg/g dry weight) in the sample irradiated with ultraviolet B (UVB; 310 nm) for 180 min as compared with the control group (52.47 µg/g dry weight) (<i>P</i> ≤ 0.001). The results showed higher accumulation potential of vitamin D<sub>2</sub> in <i>TF</i> as compared with published data available for other extensively studied culinary mushrooms, such as <i>Agaricus bisporus, Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus, Cordiceps militaris</i>, and <i>Calocybe indica</i>. Moreover, the impact of UV treatment on antioxidant capacities and total polyphenol content of <i>TF</i> was also studied.
