金针菇外切-β-1,3-葡聚糖酶家族基因鉴定及在不同发育时期的差异表达

金针菇具有很高的营养与保健价值,菌柄长短决定金针菇的产量与品质,而菌柄伸长的相关作用酶及分子机理尚不清楚。前期草菇中发现外切-β-1,3-葡聚糖酶基因（exg2）可能与菌柄伸长相关,但在金针菇中尚没有exg基因的相关报道。本研究首先在金针菇全基因组中鉴定到3个外切-β-1,3-葡聚糖酶家族基因（分别命名为：Ffexg1、Ffexg2、Ffexg3）,并进行了克隆验证。进一步采用定量PCR对3个基因在金针菇不同发育时期及组织部位的差异性表达进行了分析。结果显示：Ffexg1只在菌柄中高表达,Ffexg2与Ffexg3在菌柄中表达量先上升后下降,在菌盖中呈逐渐上升趋势。3个Ffexg基因均在菌柄发生伸长的部位表达量较高,且在菇体水平放置后菌柄弯曲程度较大的部位表达量较高。结果显示金针菇exg家族3个基因存在时空差异性表达,在菌柄中伸长较快的时期及部位伴随着Ffexg基因的高表达。结合其功能预测,Ffexg家族基因可能作用于细胞壁成分β-1,3-葡聚糖链,从而在金针菇菌柄及菌盖发育中起作用。     

金针菇细胞色素c过氧化物酶基因（ffccp）及其在菌柄伸长的差异表达初步分析

细胞色素c过氧化物酶（cytochrome C peroxidase,CcP）是细胞内H₂O₂的主要降解酶,参与真菌的氧化应答过程。本研究基于基因组数据获得一个金针菇细胞色素c过氧化物酶编码基因,命名为ffccp。该基因全长1 913bp,包含一个1 098bp的完整开放阅读框,编码365个氨基酸。生物信息学分析结果显示,该基因编码的蛋白质（FfCcP）无跨膜结构和信号肽,不形成二硫键结构,亚细胞定位于线粒体上,具备血红素结合蛋白的保守位点。序列比对和进化分析结果显示,金针菇与糙皮侧耳Pleurotus ostreatus等大型真菌的CcP序列高度相似（相似度均超过70%）,属于CcP家族蛋白。RT-qPCR的检测结果显示,氧化胁迫和损伤胁迫均能诱导ffccp基因上调表达,但两种胁迫对ffccp表达的调控机制可能并不相同。进一步检测ffccp在子实体发育过程中的差异表达情况,发现ffccp在伸长期菌柄出现显著上调表达,且表达量与菌柄伸长速度的相关性达到0.998,为极强正相关。推测ffccp的上调表达可能有利于菌柄的伸长。

MADS-box转录因子编码基因Vvrin1在草菇不同发育时期的表达分析

草菇是我国土特产出口的主要种类之一,而采后易开伞问题限制了草菇的贮藏及运输。MADS-box转录因子对植物的成熟衰老和真菌的子实体发育起到重要的调控作用。目前尚未见草菇MADS-box转录因子的相关报道。本研究通过生物信息方法及分子生物学的手段对草菇的基因组、转录组数据进行分析,获得了草菇MADS-box转录因子基因Vvrin1。该基因全长1 392bp,含2个内含子,编码419个氨基酸残基。该转录因子含有一个MADS-box结构域,序列与双孢蘑菇Agaricus bisporus、斑玉蕈Hypsizygus marmoreus和灰盖鬼伞Coprinopsis cinerea的MADS-box转录因子相似性分别为71%、67%和61%。通过表达谱数据及荧光定量PCR分析表明Vvrin1基因在草菇子实体伸长期菌柄的表达量出现高峰,具有极显著性差异（P<0.01）,推测该转录因子参与调控草菇菌柄的伸长,菌盖的开伞。这些结果为草菇成熟衰老（特别是开伞）的调控研究提供数据支持。     

磁场对金针菇菌丝生长的影响及磁受体和铁离子转运蛋白的鉴定表达

磁场作为一种无法避免的自然因子,对生物的生长发育有重要影响。然而,目前磁场对大型真菌影响的研究还鲜有报道。本研究采用铷磁铁对金针菇菌丝进行处理,检测金针菇菌丝在不同磁极刺激下的生长和基因表达规律。结果显示：磁场是铷磁铁抑制金针菇菌丝生长的主要原因,且在磁感应强度0.003T以上对菌丝生长的抑制作用较强。通过同源比对获得一个金针菇磁受体和一个铁离子转运蛋白的编码基因,分别命名为ff-magr和ff-fief。定量PCR结果显示ff-magr在N极和S极均出现显著下调表达,N极和S极磁场对ff-fief 的表达均无显著影响。结果表明：磁受体蛋白参与了金针菇菌丝受磁场抑制的应答过程,而磁受体不仅仅是通过调控铁的含量来调控菌丝的生长发育。以上结果为合理利用磁场调控真菌生长发育奠定基础,同时也为深入研究磁场对真菌生长发育的分子机理提供参考。

Effect of simvastatin on the uptake and metabolic conversion of palmitic, dihomo-gamma-linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids in A549 cells

It is well known that simvastatin affects cholesterol synthesis. Furthermore it inhibits growth and proliferation and perturbs fatty acid metabolism in some cell lines. We have studied the effects of simvastatin on the uptake and metabolism of exogenous fatty acid in the human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. Simvastatin inhibited the proliferation of A549, and caused an increment in phospholipid/cholesterol ratio due to an increment in phospholipid content without affecting cholesterol content. All the fatty acids were uptaken and metabolized in both control and treated cells. The conversion of palmitic, linoleic and dihomo-gamma-linoleic acids to their metabolites and products/precursor ratios for the desaturation and elongation reactions showed that simvastatin enhanced the Delta5 desaturation step and altered some elongating steps. The machinery for unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in A549 is quite sensitive to simvastatin and its effects could have important implication taking into account that highly unsaturated fatty acids are involved in the regulation of diverse cellular functions by themselves or through their metabolites.     

Elongation growth and gravitropic curvature in the Flammulina velutipes (Agaricales) fruiting body

Differential elongation of stipe hyphae drives the gravitropic reorientation of Flammulina velutipes (Agaricales) fruiting bodies. The gravitropic curvature is strictly dependent on the presence of the transition zone between pileus and stipe. Elongation growth, providing the driving force for curvature, is also promoted by the pileus. Gravitropic curvature is successfully suppressed by clinostatic rotation, but the elongation rate is not affected. Explantation of fruiting body stipes lowers curvature and elongation rates corresponding to explant size reduction. In Flammulina, 25 mm length of transition zone explants is an efficient size for reproducible curvature and elongation during 48- to 72-h curvature tests. Submersion of specimens in aqueous medium causes cessation of the gravitropic curvature, but does not affect elongation. Thus the involvement of a diffusible factor in transmission of the curvature signal is probable. Splitting the fruiting body stipe in segments of 1/8 diameter does not suppress the gravitropic response, and the segments are individually reoriented to the vertical. It is concluded that the graviresponse of the Flammulina fruiting body is based on cellular perception of the gravistimulus and that a differential growth signal is transmitted in the stipe by a soluble factor that regulates hyphal elongation.     

Fatty acid biosynthesis in Erlich cells. The mechanism of short term control by exogenous free fatty acids.

We have examined the mechanism by which extracellular free fatty acids regulate fatty acid biosynthesis in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. De novo biosynthesis in intact cells was inhibited by stearate greater than oleate greater than palmitate greater than linoleate. The amount of citrate and long chain acyl-CoA in the cells was not changed appreciably by the addition of free fatty acids to the incubation medium, indicating than free fatty acids do not regulate fatty acid biosynthesis by changing the total intracellular content of these metabolites. By measuring the incorporation of labeled free fatty acids into acyl-CoA, however, it was determined that the fatty acid composition of the acyl-CoA poolwas changed dramatically to reflect the composition of the exogenous free fatty acids. The relative inhibitory effects of different free fatty acids appear to depend on the ability of their acyl-CoA derivatives to regulate acyl-CoA carboxylase activity. The acyl-CoA concentration needed to produce 50% inhibition of purified Ehrlich cell carboxylase was found to be 0.68 mum for stearoyl-CoA, 1.6 mum for oleoyl-CoA, 2.2 mum for palmitoyl-CoA, 23 mum for myristoyl-CoA, 30 mum for lauroyl-CoA, and 37 mum for linoleoyl-CoA. In contrast to their effects on de novo synthesis, all of the free fatty acids added except stearate stimulated chain elongation in intact cells. Microsomal chain elongation, the major system for elongation in Ehrlich cells, also was regulated by the composition of the cellular acyl-CoA pool. Lauroyl-CoA, myristoyl-CoA, and palmitoyl-CoA were good substrates for elongation by isolated microsomes; oleoyl-CoA, and linoleoyl-CoA were intermediate; and stearoyl-CoA was a very poor substrate. We conclude that free fatty acids regulate fatty acid biosynthesis by changing the composition of the cellular acyl-CoA pool. These changes control the rate of malonyl-CoA production and, because of the acyl-CoA substrate specificity of the microsomal elongation system, modulate the amount of malonyl-CoA used for chain elongation.     

Characterization and solubilization of an acyl chain elongation system in microsomes of leek epidermal cells

Microsomes prepared from leek epidermal tissue readily elongate stearoyl-CoA to very long chain fatty acid with malonyl-CoA as the C2 unit. In the absence of stearoyl-CoA, but in the presence of ATP, microsomes elongate endogenous free fatty acids. Endogenous CoA is the source of CoA. Palmitoyl, stearoyl, and higher saturated acyl-CoAs are readily elongated by the microsomal system but oleoyl-CoA is ineffective; however, the higher monounsaturated acyl-CoAs can be elongated. Since the very long chain fatty acids of the leek epidermis are all saturated, it would appear that the reaction controlling the nature of the final acyl product is the inactivity of oleoyl-CoA as a substrate. There is no evidence that acyl carrier protein participates in the elongation reactions. Evidence is also presented suggesting that (a) there may be two elongation systems, one responsible for the conversion of stearoyl-CoA to arachidonyl-CoA and the second involved in the conversion of arachidonyl-CoA to very long chain fatty acids, and that (b) the elongation activities may be associated with a large polypeptide.
