A FOX transcription factor phosphorylated for regulation of autophagy facilitates fruiting body development in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Autophagy is a recycling process by which eukaryotic cells degrade their own components, and the fruiting body (sexual structure) is a necessary structure for some plant pathogenic fungi to start the infection cycle. However, the transcriptional regulation of plant pathogenic fungal autophagy and autophagy regulating sexual reproduction remains elusive.
Here, we provide the report linking autophagy transcription and fruiting body development in phytopathogenic fungi. The forkhead box transcription factor (FOX TF) SsFoxE2 in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Ss) binds to the promoters of ATG genes, thus promoting their transcription. SsFoxE2 is phosphorylated by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) SsSnf1, and the phosphorylated SsFoxE2 interacts with (translationally controlled tumor protein) SsTctp1, leading to enhanced stability and ATG transcription activity of SsFoxE2.
Importantly, the regulation of autophagy by SsFoxE2 affects the balance of the ubiquitination system and the early development of the fruiting body, which directly determines the occurrence and prevalence of plant disease. Furthermore, transcriptional binding of FOX TF to ATG gene promoters is conserved in phytopathogenic fungi.
Taken together, our results bring new insights into pathogen initiation in phytopathogenic fungi and connect it to other autophagy-regulated processes in plant pathogens.
期刊介绍:
New Phytologist is an international electronic journal published 24 times a year. It is owned by the New Phytologist Foundation, a non-profit-making charitable organization dedicated to promoting plant science. The journal publishes excellent, novel, rigorous, and timely research and scholarship in plant science and its applications. The articles cover topics in five sections: Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. These sections encompass intracellular processes, global environmental change, and encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal recognizes the use of techniques from molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches in plant science. Abstracting and Indexing Information for New Phytologist includes Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, Agroforestry Abstracts, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Botanical Pesticides, CAB Abstracts®, Environment Index, Global Health, and Plant Breeding Abstracts, and others.
