天麻种子萌发过程中与其共生真菌石斛小菇间的相互作用*

天麻Gastrodiaelata种子与石斛小菇Mycenadendrobii的共生萌发试验表明,石斛小菇可与天麻共生,促进天麻种子发芽并形成原球茎。菌丝主要分布于原球茎的柄状细胞、外皮层细胞和内皮层细胞,在外皮层细胞中形成菌丝结,内皮层细胞中的菌丝则被消化。原球茎细胞中的菌丝均被电子透明物质和原球茎细胞质膜包围而与原球茎细胞质相隔离,菌丝进一步液泡化并最终被水解。含有衰败菌丝的原球茎细胞常被菌丝重新定殖。这一菌丝被消化及菌丝的重新定殖过程在整个原球茎发育过程中可不断重复发生。

Carrier-mediated transport of riboflavin in Ashbya gossypii

The filamentous hemiascomycete Ashbya gossypii is used for industrial riboflavin production. We examined riboflavin uptake and excretion at the plasma membrane using riboflavin auxotrophic and overproducing mutants. The riboflavin uptake system had low activity [Vmax = 20 +/- 4 nmol min(-1) g(-1) mycelial dry weight (dw)] and high affinity (KM = 40 +/- 12 microM). Inhibitor studies with the analogs FMN and FAD revealed high specificity of the uptake system. Excretion of riboflavin was not the consequence of non-specific permeability of the plasma membrane. Excretion rates in the mid-production phase were determined to be 2.5 nmol min(-1) g(-1) dw for wild-type cells and 66.7 nmol min(-1) g(-1) dw for an overproducing mutant, respectively. Inhibition of the reverse reaction, riboflavin uptake, led to an increase in apparent riboflavin efflux in the early production phase, indicating the presence of a separate excretion carrier. Riboflavin accumulation in A. gossypii vacuoles leading to product retention was found to be a secondary transport process. To address the question of whether a flux from the vacuoles back into the cytoplasm is present, we characterized efflux in hyphae in which the plasma membrane was permeabilized with digitonin. Efflux kinetics across the vacuolar membrane were unaffected by the lack of vacuolar H+ATPase activity and ATP, suggesting a passive mechanism. Based on the characterization of riboflavin transport processes in this study, the design of new production strains with improved riboflavin excretion may be possible.     

Flavin affinity chromatography: General methods for purification of proteins that bind riboflavin

Analogs of riboflavin that were altered at positions N(3), 8α, and N(10) of the 7,8-dimethylisoalloxazine ring were immobilized by covalent attachment to aminoalkylated agarose and polyacrylamide beads. These materials were used for affinity chromatographic purification of the riboflavin-carrier protein from egg white, egg yolk, and blood from laying hens, of flavokinase from rat liver, and of partially purified flavodoxin from Azotobacter vinelandii (FMN). The apo-carrier protein, which tightly complexes riboflavin (K_d ≈ 2 nm), was bound by the N(3)-, 8α-, and N(10)-flavinyl beads and was selectively displaced in moderate to high yield by 10 μm riboflavin or 1 m NaCl at pH 3.5. Flavokinase, which complexes less tightly with riboflavin (K_m ≈ 12 μm), was bound by the 8α- and N(10)-flavinyl beads. Binding to the latter was sufficiently tight that the addition of riboflavin was needed to displace flavokinase from the beads. The A. vinelandii flavodoxin, which normally complexes riboflavin 5′-phosphate (K₃ ≈ 5 nm) but less avidly complexes riboflavin (K_d ≈ 0.6 μm), was bound by the N(10)-flavinyl beads and eluted in low yield upon addition of FMN; most of the apoprotein denatured on the column despite the inclusion of thiol-protecting reagents. These flavin affinity materials may be generally useful for isolating a variety of other proteins that bind riboflavin.     

Scanning Electron Microscope Studies of Interactions between Agaricus bisporus (Lang) Sing Hyphae and Bacteria in Casing Soil

Relationships between the hyphae of Agaricus bisporus (Lang) Sing and bacteria from the mushroom bed casing layer were examined with a scanning electron microscope. Hyphae growing in the casing layer differed morphologically from compost-grown hyphae. Whereas the compost contained thin single hyphae surrounded by calcium oxalate crystals, the casing layer contained mainly wide hyphae or mycelial strands without crystals. The bacterial population in the hyphal environment consisted of several types, some attached to the hyphae with filamentlike structures. This attachment may be important in stimulation of pinhead initiation.     

Lumazine synthase from Candida albicans as an anti-fungal target enzyme: structural and biochemical basis for drug design

Lumazine synthase is an enzyme involved in riboflavin biosynthesis in many plants and microorganisms, including numerous human pathogens. The fact that the enzymes of the riboflavin biosynthesis pathway are not present in the human or animal host makes them potential targets for anti-infective agents. The crystal structure of lumazine synthase from Candida albicans was solved by molecular replacement and refined at 2.5-Angstrom resolution. The results of crystallographic investigations and sedimentation equilibrium experiments clearly indicated the presence of pentameric assemblies of the enzyme either in crystals or in solution. Isothermal titration calorimetry measurements of the binding reactions of four different inhibitors revealed high affinity for all four compounds with binding constants in the micromolar range. Structural comparison with previously determined structures of the enzyme.ligand complexes of other orthologue allowed modeling of the binding of four different inhibitors into the active site of lumazine synthase from Candida albicans.     

A developmental stage of hyphal cells shows riboflavin overproduction instead of sporulation in Ashbya gossypii

The hemiascomycete Ashbya gossypii develops a mycelium. Nutritional stress leads to its differentiation into sporangia. These generate spores. In parallel, the yellow pigment riboflavin is produced. Intracellularly accumulated riboflavin, made visible as a bright green fluorescence, was observed in only 60 % of the hyphal cells. For the remaining 40 %, it was unclear whether these cells simply export riboflavin or its biosynthesis remains down-regulated in contrast to the accumulating cells. The approach followed in this work was to convert the hyphae into protoplasts by enzymatic degradation of the cell wall. Afterwards, the protoplasts were sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorting on the basis of riboflavin accumulation. When a reporter strain expressing lacZ under the control of the most important riboflavin biosynthesis promoter, RIB3, was used, green protoplasts were found to have more than tenfold greater reporter activity than hyaline protoplasts. This was true on the basis of total protein as well as on the basis of hexokinase specific activity, a marker for constitutive expression. These results allow the conclusion that hyphal cells of A. gossypii differ in phenotype regarding riboflavin overproduction and accumulation.     

MICROSPECTROPHOTOMETRY AND THE PHOTORECEPTOR OF PHYCOMYCES I

By applying microspectrophotometry to the sporangiophore of Phycomyces blakesleeanus wild-type and the albino car-10(-) type II, absorption spectra were obtained for 1- to 5-day cultures. Spectra in the growing-zone of the wild-type during Stage IVb, taken from 0.1 to 3 mm below the base of the sporangium, show two distinctly different spectra: one is more characteristic of a carotene, the other of a flavin. Combined, these absorption spectra reproduce closely the action spectrum. For the albino car-10(-), which is deficient in carotenes, only the spectrum characteristic of lumichrome or a reduced flavin was found. A c-type cytochrome was isolated from both strains which, if coupled with a flavin, could permit a photoreversible oxidation-reduction system. Birefringent crystals were observed to be aligned in the growing zone in which the photoreceptor is believed to lie. Micro-spectrophotometry of these crystals shows absorption peaks similar to those of riboflavin crystals.
