Are1-mediated nitrogen metabolism is associated with iron regulation in the mycoparasite Trichoderma atroviride
Trichoderma atroviride is a mycoparasitic fungus with antagonistic activity against fungal pathogens and is used as a pathogen control agent alternative to synthetic fungicides. Sensing nutrient availability in the environment and adjusting metabolism for optimal growth, development and reproduction is essential for adaptability and is relevant to its mycoparasitic activity. During mycoparasitism, secondary metabolites are produced to weaken the fungal prey and support the attack. Are1-like proteins act as major GATA-type transcription factors in the activation of genes subject to nitrogen catabolite repression. Since the quality and quantity of nitrogen has been proven particularly relevant in remodeling the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in fungi, we decided to functionally characterize Are1, the ortholog of Aspergillus nidulans AreA, in T. atroviride. We show that the growth of the T. atroviride ∆are1 mutant is impaired in comparison to the wild type on several nitrogen sources. Deletion of are1 enhanced sensitivity to oxidative and cell-wall stressors and altered the mycoparasitic activity. We were able to identify for the first time a link between Are1 and iron homeostasis via a regulatory mechanism that does not appear to be strictly linked to the nitrogen source, but rather to an independent role of the transcription factor.
期刊介绍:
Microbiological Research is devoted to publishing reports on prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms such as yeasts, fungi, bacteria, archaea, and protozoa. Research on interactions between pathogenic microorganisms and their environment or hosts are also covered.
