    Abstract The Ca2+ signaling genes cpe-1, plc-1, ncs-1, splA2, camk-1, camk-2, camk-3, camk-4, cmd, and cnb-1 are necessary for a normal circadian period length in Neurospora crassa. In addition, the Q10 values ranged between 0.8 and 1.2 for the single mutants lacking cpe-1, splA2, camk-1, camk-2, camk-3, camk-4, and cnb-1, suggesting that the circadian clock exhibits standard temperature compensation. However, the Q10 value for the ∆plc-1 mutant was 1.41 at 25 and 30 °C, 1.53 and 1.40 for the ∆ncs-1 mutant at 20 and 25 °C, and at 20 and 30 °C, respectively, suggesting a partial loss of temperature compensation in these two mutants. Moreover, expression of frq, a regulator of the circadian period, and the blue light receptor wc-1, were increased >2-fold in the Δplc-1, ∆plc-1; ∆cpe-1, and the ∆plc-1; ∆splA2 mutants at 20 °C. The frq mRNA level was increased >2-fold in the Δncs-1 mutant compared to the ras-1bd strain at 20 °C. Therefore, multiple Ca2+ signaling genes regulate the circadian period, by influencing expression of the frq and wc-1 genes that are critical for maintaining the normal circadian period length in N. crassa.

    Abstract The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa has historically been a model for understanding the relationship between genes and metabolism-auxotrophic mutants of N. crassa were used by Beadle and Tatum to develop the one-gene-one-enzyme hypothesis for which they earned the Nobel Prize in 1958. In the ensuing decades, several techniques have been developed for the systematic analysis of metabolites in N. crassa and other fungi. Untargeted and targeted approaches have been used, with a focus on secondary metabolites over primary metabolism. Here, we describe a pipeline for sample preparation, metabolite extraction, Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), and data analysis that can be used for targeted metabolomics of primary metabolites in N. crassa. Liquid cultures are grown with shaking in a defined minimal medium and then collected using filtration. Samples are lyophilized for 2 days at -80°C, pulverized, and mixed with a solution to extract polar metabolites. The metabolites are separated and identified using LC-MS, with downstream analysis using Skyline interpretive software. Relative levels of hundreds of metabolites can be detected and compared across strains. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Abstract Due to crucial roles in gene regulation, noncoding small RNAs (sRNAs) of 20-30 nucleotides (nt) have been intensively studied in mammals and plants and are implicated in significant diseases and metabolic disorders. Elucidation of biogenesis mechanisms and functional characterization of sRNAs is often achieved using tools such as separation of small-sized RNA and deep sequencing. Although RNA interference pathways, such as quelling and meiotic silencing, have been well-described in Neurospora crassa, knowledge of sRNAs in other filamentous fungi is still limited compared to other eukaryotes. As a prerequisite for study, isolation and sequence analysis of sRNAs is necessary. We developed a protocol for isolation and library construction of sRNAs of 20-30 nt for deep sequencing in two filamentous fungi, N. crassa and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. Using 200-300 μg total RNA, sRNA was isolated by size-fractionation and ligated with adapters and amplified by RT-PCR for deep sequencing. Sequence analysis of several cDNA clones showed that the cloned sRNAs were not tRNAs and rRNAs and were fungal genome-specific. In order to validate fungal miRNAs that were imported into the host cell, we developed a straightforward method to isolate protoplasts from tomato roots infected by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici using enzymatic digestion.

    Abstract Heterotrimeric (αβγ) G protein signaling pathways are critical environmental sensing systems found in eukaryotic cells. Exchange of GDP for GTP on the Gα subunit leads to its activation. In contrast, GTP hydrolysis on the Gα is accelerated by Regulator of G protein Signaling (RGS) proteins, resulting in a return to the GDP-bound, inactive state. Here, we analyzed growth, development and extracellular cellulase production in strains with knockout mutations in the seven identified RGS genes (

    Abstract Calcineurin is a calcium/calmodulin dependent protein phosphatase in eukaryotes that consists of a catalytic subunit A and a regulatory subunit B. Previous studies in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa had suggested that the catalytic subunit of calcineurin might be an essential protein. We generated N. crassa strains expressing the A (cna-1) and B (cnb-1) subunit genes under the regulation of Ptcu-1, a copper-responsive promoter. In these strains, addition of bathocuproinedisulfonic acid (BCS), a copper chelator, results in induction of cna-1 and cnb-1, while excess Cu2+ represses gene expression. Through analysis of these strains under repressing and inducing conditions, we found that the calcineurin is required for normal growth, asexual development and female fertility in N. crassa. Moreover, we isolated and analyzed cnb-1 mutant alleles generated by repeat-induced point mutation (RIP), with the results further supporting roles for calcineurin in growth and fertility in N. crassa. We demonstrated a direct interaction between the CNA-1 and CNB-1 proteins using an assay system developed to study protein-protein interactions in N. crassa.

    Abstract Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) are conserved in fungi, plants and animals. The Vam7 gene encodes a v-SNARE protein that involved in vesicle trafficking in fungi. Here, we identified and characterized the function of FolVam7, a homologue of the yeast SNARE protein Vam7p in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol), a fungal pathogen of tomato. FolVam7 contains SNARE and PX (Phox homology) domains that are indispensable for normal localization and function of FolVam7. Targeted gene deletion showed that FolVam7-mediated vesicle trafficking is important for vegetative growth, asexual development, conidial morphology and plant infection. Further cytological examinations revealed that FolVam7 is localized to vesicles and vacuole membranes in the hyphae stage. Moreover, the ΔFolvam7 mutant is insensitive to salt and osmotic stresses and hypersensitive to cell wall stressors. Taken together, our results suggested that FolVam7-mediated vesicle trafficking promotes vegetative growth, conidiogenesis and pathogenicity of Fol.

    Abstract Due to crucial roles in gene regulation, noncoding small RNAs (smRNAs) of 20-30 nucleotides (nt) have been intensively studied in mammals and plants, and are known to be implicated in significant diseases and metabolic disorders. Elucidation of biogenesis mechanisms and functional characterization of smRNAs are often achieved using tools, such as separation of small-sized RNA and high-throughput sequencing. Although RNA interference pathways such as quelling and meiotic silencing have been well described in Neurospora crassa, knowledge of smRNAs in filamentous fungi is still limited compared to other eukaryotes. As a prerequisite for study, isolation and sequence analysis of smRNAs are necessary. We developed a protocol for isolation and library construction of smRNAs of 20-30 nt for Solexa sequencing in two -filamentous fungi, N. crassa and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. Using 200-300 μg total RNA, smRNA was isolated by size fractionation, ligated with adapters, and amplified by RT-PCR for Solexa sequencing. Sequence analysis of several cDNA clones showed that the cloned smRNAs were not tRNAs and rRNAs and were fungal genome specific.
