Proteomic analysis of the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea during cellulose degradation

The ascomycete Botrytis cinerea is a phytopathogenic fungus infecting and causing significant yield losses in a number of crops. Moreover, in the last few years, B. cinerea has been adopted as an important model system in molecular phytopathology. In spite of these contributions, the molecular basis of the infection cycle remains unclear. Proteomic approaches have revealed significant information about the infective cycle of several pathogens, including B. cinerea. The main aim of this study is to make available a proteomic database containing a significant number of identified proteins from B. cinerea. In brief, three independent B. cinerea cultures supplemented with carboxymethylcellulose were used, and the extracted proteins were independently separated by 2‐D PAGE to obtain the proteome map from B. cinerea. Two hundred and sixty‐seven spots were selected for MALDI TOF/TOF MS analysis, resulting in 303 positive identifications, mostly representing unannotated proteins. Identified proteins were then classified into categories using the PANTHER classification system ( www.pantherdb.org ), showing the relevance of protein metabolism and modification process and oxidoreductase activity. Since cellulose is one of the major components of the plant cell wall, many of the identified proteins may have a crucial role in the pathogenicity process. In brief, this proteomic map of B. cinerea will be a useful basis for exploring the proteins involved in the infection cycle, which will in turn provide new targets for crop diagnosis and focused fungicide design.     

The autophagy‐related gene BcATG1 is involved in fungal development and pathogenesis in Botrytis cinerea

Autophagy, a ubiquitous intracellular degradation process, is conserved from yeasts to humans. It serves as a major survival function during nutrient depletion stress and is crucial for correct growth and differentiation. In this study, we characterized an atg1 orthologue Bcatg1 in the necrotrophic plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) assays showed that the expression of BcATG1 was up‐regulated under carbon or nitrogen starvation conditions. BcATG1 could functionally restore the survival defects of the yeast ATG1 mutant during nitrogen starvation. Deletion of BcATG1 (ΔBcatg1) inhibited autophagosome accumulation in the vacuoles of nitrogen‐starved cells. ΔBcatg1 was dramatically impaired in vegetative growth, conidiation and sclerotial formation. In addition, most conidia of ΔBcatg1 lost the capacity to form the appressorium infection structure and failed to penetrate onion epidermis. Pathogenicity assays showed that the virulence of ΔBcatg1 on different host plant tissues was drastically impaired, which was consistent with its inability to form an appressorium. Moreover, lipid droplet accumulation was significantly reduced in the conidia of ΔBcatg1, but the glycerol content was increased. All of the defects of ΔBcatg1 were complemented by re‐introduction of an intact copy of the wild‐type BcATG1 into the mutant. These results indicate that BcATG1 plays a critical role in numerous developmental processes and is essential to the pathogenesis of B. cinerea.     

Presence of a vanadium-dependent haloperoxidase in Botrytis cinerea

The presence of a haloperoxidase in the mycelium of Botrytis cinerea, extractable with buffer, is demonstrated. A low level of extracellular enzyme activity was also detected. The haloperoxidase from the fungus is a vanadium-dependent glycoprotein, with a pH optimum of about 5.5. Native gel electrophoresis indicates that it is a high molecular mass protein. It appears to react with antibodies against haloperoxidase from Caldariomyces fumago. Enzyme activity is increased 3.5-fold and 15-fold by culture of the fungus in the presence of NaCl or vanadium, respectively. Activity is partly reduced by removal of vanadium and activity can be restored by the addition of vanadium to the enzyme. The possible function of this haloperoxidase is discussed.     

Yeasts as biological agents to control Botrytis cinerea

Yeasts, isolated from different sources, were identified and tested for inhibition using YMA-MB plates seeded with Botrytis cinerea strains. A total of 42 yeast strains of 20 different species were tested in vitro for antagonism against 18 pathogenic B. cinerea strains. Pichia membranifaciens, P. anomala and Debaryomyces hansenii displayed the most important inhibitory effect against Botrytis strains. In small-scale trials, post-harvest application of P. membranifaciens CYC 1106 to apple wounds inhibited B. cinerea CYC 20010. Purified killer toxin from P. membranifaciens CYC 1106 inhibited B. cinerea CYC 20010. Results indicated that certain yeasts, or their toxins such us P. membranifaciens CYC 1106 killer toxin, might have potential as novel agents to control B. cinerea.     

A double-stranded RNA mycovirus in Botrytis cinerea

In wild-type Botrytis cinerea CVg25 strain we have detected the presence of extrachromosomal genetic elements corresponding to double-stranded RNA molecules. These genetic elements have been designated L, M₁ and M₂ with molecular sizes of 8.3, 2.0 and 1.4 kb, respectively. The visualization by electron microscopy of mycelium ultrathin sections from B. cinerea CVg25 showed the presence of isometric virus-like particles of about 40 nm in diameter. Linear sucrose gradient centrifugation of mycelium-free extracts was done to determine if the double-stranded RNAs were associated with virus-like particles. The gradient profile obtained at 260 and 280 nm revealed a major peak that was analyzed by both agarose-gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy. It was observed that only the L-double-stranded RNA molecule copurified with isometric virus-like particles. These virus-like particles had a similar morphology and size as those detected by electron microscopy in the mycelium sections. These results suggest that only the L-double-stranded RNA would be encapsidated.
