Melanin is a complex polymer which is secreted outside or constitutes the structure of fungal cell wall. It is considered as an important virulence factor in opportunistic pathogenic fungi. In this study, one albino mutant (CBS 125149) was generated from a parent meristematic mutant (CBS 122845) of Fonsecaea monophora. Transmission electron microscopy profiles showed that melanin in the parent strains appeared as electron-dense granules which located on the cell wall surface. We extracted the cell wall fractions from the two different strains by an alkali–acid method. The different strains or its cell wall fractions were interacted with the activated RAW264.7. The pigmented strain and its cell wall fraction could reduce the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase gene and inhibit the synthesis of nitric oxide in vitro (P < 0.05). Exacerbated Th2 and inhibited Th1 response occurred in the interaction between activated RAW264.7 and the pigmented strain or its cell wall fraction. Collectively, our results suggest that melanin plays an important role in escaping the killing of oxidative burst in vitro. The exacerbated Th2 response probably accelerates the persistence of the fungus. 相似文献

A characterization of a non-pigment producing mutant Monascus purpureus M12 compared with its parental strain Monascus purpureus Went CBS 109.07 has been performed aiming to investigate the relation between pigment biosynthesis and other characteristics
of these fungi. A comparison has been made of morphological features, some physiological properties and biochemical activities
of both strains. The albino mutant exhibits an anamorph life cycle, high conidia forming capability, slower radial growth
rate and temperature sensitivity. The assimilation capacity of both strains for mono-, disaccharides and some alcohols is
in the same range (YX/C 0.2 – 0.35), while the red strain has a higher fermentation capacity. In a selected albino mutant, the growth rate, metabolic
activity and capacity for production of typical for Monascus fungi secondary metabolites were reduced considerably. Hydrolytic activity towards natural substrates expressed through glucoamylase
and protease was approximately 10 fold lower in the non pigment producing strain (0.05 – 0.08 U/mg protein and 0.01 – 0.07
U/mg protein respectively) compared with the red one. Important qualitative differences between both strains was found in
fatty acid composition and in the production of citrinin and monacolin. The mutant strain possessed C17, C20 and C22 fatty acids and did not produce citrinin.

Melanin biosynthesis of appressoria inColletotrichum lagenaru was studied using color mutants. Mutant 8015 ofC. lagenarium obtained byN-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitroso-guanidine treatment formed a red-brown colony and secreted a substance which restored black coloration to colonies of albino mutants. This substance was identified as scytalone (3,4-dihydro-3,6,8-trihydroxy-1(2H)naphthalenone). Nineteen albino mutants formed colorless appressoria, but in the presence of 0.75 mM scytalone, the albino mutants formed darkly pigmented appressoria indistinguishable from those of the parent strain. Furthermore, the time course of appressorial pigmentation of albino mutants in the presence of scytalone was the same as that of the parent strain. On nitrocellulose membranes and host cucumber cotyledons, the colorless appressoria of albino mutants germinated laterally to form secondary appressoria, and consequently had little ability to form penetration hyphae. In the presence of 0.75 mM scytalone, however, the pigmented appressoria penetrated nitrocellulose membranes and host cucumber cell walls similarly to those of the parent strain. From these results, we conclude that scytalone is a normal precusor of melanin in appressoria, and that appressorial pigmentation is essential for the formation of penetration hyphae inC. lagenarium. 相似文献

Melanin synthesis in the dematiaceous, polymorphic hyphomycete Wangiella dermatitidis, a human pathogen, was investigated by biochemical and physiological techniques. Mutants with a decrease or loss in melanin synthesis were induced and isolated. Melanin precursors were obtained from the mutants, purified, and then identified by comparison with authentic compounds from Verticillium dahliae. Isolation of scytalone, vermelone, flaviolin, and 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene from the mutants of Wangiella dermatitidis, and cross-feeding of the mutants with those of Verticillium dahliae indicated that melanin synthesis in this organism took place by the pentaketide pathway. Melanin that formed in cell walls of an albino mutant treated with scytalone was identical in appearance to that in cell walls of the wild-type strain. This also suggested that pentaketide synthesis of melanin occurred in the fungus. 相似文献

Stab inoculation of agar medium with yeasts of the human pathogen Wangiella dermatitidis resulted in induction of invasive hyphae. Mechanical penetration of agar was indicated by the observation that an increase in medium gel strength slowed the rate of substrate invasion. A melanized wild-type strain (8656) exhibited much faster invasive growth through 2–8% agar than three melanin-deficient mutants. Inhibition of melanin synthesis in strain 8656 using tricyclazole resulted in a decrease in its rate of invasive growth, while scytalone restored melanin synthesis in the albino mel3 strain and boosted its rate of invasive growth. Earlier research established that cellular melanization is also associated with invasive hyphal growth in the mouse brain, and infections with strain 8656 are invariably lethal. Together, these in vitro and in vivo data indicate that biomechanical characteristics of fungi may be important determinants of virulence and disease progression in human and animal mycoses. 相似文献

Regulation of melanin biosynthesis in relation to appressorium differentiation ofColletotrichum lagenarium was investigated. When spores of the parent strain 104-T were incubated at 24°C, appressorial pigmentation started at 6 h of incubation and was preceded by appressorim swelling; appressoria were darkly pigmented at 12 h of incubation. The same time course of appressorial pigmentation was observed in albino mutant 79215 when scytalone, a natural precursor of melanin biosynthesis, was applied before the swelling of appressoria. In accordance with this result, [14C]scytalone was not incorporated into germlings of albino mutant 79215 before the swelling of appressoria. Cycloheximide applied 1 h or more after incubation of spores of the parent strain 104-T, or of albino mutant 79215 treated with scytalone, inhibited neither appressorium formation nor appressorial pigmentation. These results indicate that enzymes involved in melanin biosynthesis subsequent to scytalone are preexisting enzymes or synthesized as inactive forms during 1 h of incubation, and that they are activated during appressorium differentiation. In addition, an early step(s) prior to scytalone in the melanin biosynthesis of appressoria was temperature sensitive; when colorless appressoria of the parent strain 104-T formed during 6 h of incubation at 24°C were postincubated at 32°C, the appressoria did not melanize, whereas application of scytalone to the postincubation at 32°C permitted melanization of the appressoria. Also, albino mutant 79215 formed melanized appressoria during postincubation at 32°C in the presence of scytalone. These results indicate that high temperatures inhibit melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting one or more steps prior to scytalone synthesis. 相似文献

Summary Deoxyglucose-resistant mutants of Cellulomonas biazotea secreted elevated levels of cellulases and xylanases. The production of β-glucosidase in the constitutive mutant was increased 5-fold over its parent strain. This mutant showed an approximately 1.6-fold
enhanced productivity of extracellular endo-glucanase following growth on Leptochloa fusca over the mutant parent. Extracellular production of xylanase, filter-paper cellulase (FPase) and endo-glucanase (CMCase)
were also altered in the mutant. Maximum volumetric productivities for xylanase, β-xylosidase, FPase, β-glucosidase and endo-glucosidase were 451, 98, 80, 95, and 143 IU l−1 h−1 which were significantly more than their respective values from the parental strains. The enzyme preparation of the mutants
exhibited improved saccharification of kallar grass straw. 相似文献

Color mutants of Cochliobolus miyabeanus defective in melanin biosynthesis were isolated. Although the wild-type strain KU-13 formed dark green colonies, color mutants formed white, brown, and gray colonies or white colonies with red pigment secretion. From the white mutant which secreted red pigment, designated scy, a melanin precursor which restored melanization of albino mutants alm-1 was isolated and identified as scytalone. This indicated that scy mutant was defective in the conversion of scytalone to 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene and that melanin of this fungus is of pentaketide origin formed from oxidation of 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene. Albino mutants alm-1 were considered to be defective in pentaketide cyclization and brown mutants brm were considered to be defective in the conversion of 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene to vermelone. Albino mutants alm-2 whose coloration was not restored by application of scytalone were also isolated. The alm-2 gene was believed to be a gene transactively regulating the pentaketide cyclization and conversion of scytalone. From crossing experiments among the color mutants, it was indicated that alm-1, alm-2, and brm were linked and that scy segregates independently of these three mutant loci. Crossing of a methionine requiring mutant with alm and scy indicated that the three loci segregate independently of each other. 相似文献

Molecular characterization of rhizobacterial isolate RM-3, based on sequencing of a partial 1,313-bp fragment of 16S rDNA
amplicon, validated the strain as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The strain showed significant growth inhibition of different phytopathogenic fungi in dual plate and liquid culture assays.
Maximum growth inhibition was found in case of Macrophomina phaseolina in plate assay (68%), whereas it was 93% in Dreschlera graminae in dual liquid assay. Microscopic studies (light and scanning electron) showed morphological abnormalities such as perforation,
fragmentation, swelling, shriveling and lysis of hyphae of pathogenic fungi. The strain also exhibited production of siderophore
and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) on chrome azurol S and King’s B media, respectively. Besides, this strain also produced extracellular
chitinase enzyme and an important antibiotic, phenazine. Seed bacterization with RM-3 showed a significant (P < 0.05) increase in seed germination, shoot length, shoot fresh and dry weight, root length, root fresh and dry weight and
leaf area. It was also able to colonize the rhizosphere of plants and reduced percent disease incidence in M. phaseolina-infested soil by 83%. Yield parameters such as pods, number of seeds and grain yield per plant also enhanced significantly
(P < 0.05) in comparison to control. Thus, the secondary metabolites producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain RM-3 exhibited innate potential of plant growth promotion and biocontrol potential in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

Zbed3, a BED finger domain-containing protein was found to promote cancer proliferation by regulating β-catenin expression through interacting with Axin. But whether and how BED finger domain function in regulating cancer proliferation is unknown. We constructed five mutants of Zbed3, which lacks the Axin-Zbed3 binding site, and the 43 to 52, 69 to 77, 87 to 92, and 97 to 104 sequences in BED finger domain, respectively and named them as Z-A, Z1, Z2, Z3, and Z4. Transfection of both wild-type of Zbed3 and the mutants Z1, Z3, and Z4 (P < 0.05), but not Z2 (P > 0.05) significantly upregulated β-catenin expression in NCI-H1299 cells. Overexpression of both wild-type of Zbed3 and the mutants Z1, Z3, and Z4 (P < 0.05) but not Z2 (P > 0.05) significantly promoted cancer cell proliferation and invasion. The ability of proliferation (P < 0.05) but not invasion (P < 0.05) of cancer cells transfected with Z1 and Z4 was significantly lower than that with wild-type Zbed3 and Z3. Overexpression of wild-type Zbed3 (P < 0.05) but not the mutant Z-A, which lacks the binding site with Axin and Z2 (P > 0.05) significantly upregulated the interaction of Axin and Zbed3, β-catenin expression and the activity of Wnt signaling. Both overexpression of wild-type Zbed3 and the mutant Z1 and Z4 significantly upregulated the activity of Wnt signaling and promoted cancer cell proliferation (P < 0.05) but only overexpression of wild-type Zbed3 (P < 0.05), but not the mutant Z1, and Z4 (P > 0.05), significantly upregulated the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in NCI-H1299 cells. These results indicate that Zbed3 may promote lung cancer cell proliferation through regulating PCNA expression besides regulating β-catenin expression and BED finger domain can impact on this function. 相似文献

To identify virulence-associated genes of a fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri, we screened a total of 1056 mini-Tn5-Km2 signature-tagged mutants in rainbow trout by immersion challenge. Of 1056, 25 mutants
were found survival-defective as they could not be re-isolated from fish kidney 7 days after infection. Mutated gene in F2-4
mutant, one of the 25 mutants, was homologous to uvrY that encodes UvrY response regulator of BarA–UvrY two-component system
(TCS). Mutant F2-4 was significantly more sensitive (P < 0.05) to H2O2-mediated killing and was less able to infect Epithelioma papulosum cyprini cells. However, UvrY mutation did not affect survival of F2-4 mutant in the presence of non-immune fish serum and its ability
to grow under iron starvation. In a time-course co-infection, mutant F2-4 had lower bacterial loads on day 1 itself, and by
day 5 there was nearly a 1,000-fold difference in infection levels of the parent and mutant strains. The barA homolog of Y. ruckeri was PCR-amplified and sequence analyses identified four domains that were characteristic of hybrid histidine kinases. To
conclude, the BarA–UvrY TCS contributes to the pathogenesis of Y. ruckeri in its natural host rainbow trout, possibly by regulating invasion of epithelial cells and sensitivity to oxidative stress
induced by immune cells. 相似文献

Copper (Cu)-transporting P-type ATPase (CTPA) genes have been documented to play an important role in resistance to heavy
metals. However, our understanding of roles of CTPA genes of the filamentous fungi was based only on sequence similarity prediction
before. In a previous study, we isolated a Penicillum janthinellum strain GXCR of higher tolerance to Cu (200 mM). In this study, we cloned the partial cDNA of CTPA gene, named PcpA, from the strain GXCR. Sequence alignment indicated that the cloned cDNA sequence has the highest identity (94.4%) with a
predictive CTPA gene of Aspergillus clavatus. The PcpA-encoded protein, termed PcpA, has classical functional domains of CTPAs, and shows differences from reported CTPAs in some
specific sequence motifs and transmembrane regions. Expression of the PcpA was induced by extracellular Cu, cadmium (Cd), and silver (Ag). PcpA RNA interference (RNAi) mutants with a reduced level of PcpA mRNA were more sensitive to Cu, iron, Cd, and Ag than the wild-type (WT) strain GXCR. When grown in the presence of Cu, iron,
and Cd, intracellular Cu and iron contents in the PcpA RNAi mutant were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those in the WT; However, intracellular Cd content in the mutant was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that in the WT. Taken together, it can be concluded that the PcpA functions in Cu uptake and homeostasis, iron uptake, and Cd export from the cytosol to the extracytosol. 相似文献

The habit of cigarette smoking is associated with higher oral candidal carriage and possible predisposition to oral candidosis.
The effects of exposure to smoke on the virulence properties of oral yeasts remain obscure. Hence, we showed in vitro the
effect of cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) on ten clinical isolates of Candida albicans obtained from nonsmoking volunteers, as well the type-strain CBS562. CSC was generated by complete burn of five commercial
cigarettes in an in-house smoking machine and used to prepare the culture broth in which the strains were grown. In 24-h intervals
(T24, T48, and T72), the cells were harvested, washed, subcultured, and the resultant growth were evaluated for possible variations for secreted
aspartyl protease, phospholipase, chondroitinase, and hemolysins, adhesion to acrylic and cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH).
The results indicated a temporal increase in the secretion rates of enzymes, particularly when yeast cells were exposed to
CSC for 48–72 h (P < 0.05). Similarly, adhesion to acrylic and CSH increased with exposure period (P < 0.05). Based on foregoing, we concluded that CSC may promote significant enhance in the secretion of candidal histolytic
enzymes and adherence to denture surfaces, thereby promoting oral yeast carriage and possible infection. 相似文献

A mutant strain of Pyropia yezoensis, strain E, was isolated from the free‐living conchocelis of a pure strain (NA) treated with ethyl methane sulfonate. The incremental quantities of young strain E blades were higher than those of NA after 14 d of cultivation, indicating that young blades of mutant strain E released more archeospores. The mean length and weight of large E blades were both over three times greater than those of NA after 4 weeks of cultivation. The photosynthetic parameters (Fv/Fm, Y[I], Y[II], and O2 evolution rate) and pigment contents (including phycoerythrin and phycocyanin) of strain E blades were higher than those of NA (P < 0.05). The cellular respiratory rate of strain E blades was lower than that of NA (P < 0.05). In order to investigate the causes of changes in strain E blades, total RNA in strain E and NA blades were sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq platform. Compared with NA, 1,549 unigenes were selected in strain E including 657 up‐regulated and 892 down‐regulated genes. According to the physiology measurement and differentially expressed genes analysis, cell respiration in strain E might decrease, whereas anabolic‐like photosynthesis and protein biosynthesis might increase compared with NA. This means substance accumulation might be greater than decomposition in strain E. This might explain why strain E blades showed improved growth compared with NA. In addition, several genes related to stress resistance were up‐regulated in strain E indicating that strain E might have a higher stress resistance. The sequencing dataset may be conducive to Pyropia yezoensis molecular breeding research. 相似文献

A new class of albino mutant ofCochliobolus heterostrophus was isolated. Its colony color was indistinguishable from that of albino mutants previously reported. Application of the
melanin intermediate scytalone induced this mutant to pigment slightly, but not completely. Genetic analyses showed that the
mutant had two deficient genes. When only one of these genes was deficient, the colony color was indistinguishable from the
wild type, whereas deficiency of both genes resulted in the albino phenotype. These deficiencies lie upstream of scytalone
biosynthesis. These genes were designated asCal1 andCal2. 相似文献

We aimed to assess the feasibility of enhancing the intestinal development of weaned rats using glucagon‐like peptide‐2 (GLP‐2)‐expressing Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae). GLP‐2‐expressing S. cerevisiae (GLP2‐SC) was generated using a recombinant approach. The diet of weaned rats was supplemented with the GLP2‐SC strain. The average daily gain (ADG), the intestinal morphology and the activities of the digestive enzymes in the jejunum were tested to assess the influence of the GLP2‐SC strain on intestinal development. The proliferation of rat enterocytes was also assessed in vitro. The study revealed that the ADG of the weaned rats that received GLP2‐SC was significantly greater than that of the controls fed a basal diet (Control) and S. cerevisiae harbouring an empty vector (EV‐SC) (P < 0.05) but was equivalent to that of positive control rats fed recombinant human GLP‐2 (rh‐GLP2) (P > 0.05). Furthermore, GLP2‐SC significantly increased villous height (P < 0.01) and digestive enzyme activity (P < 0.05) in the jejunum. Immunohistochemistry analysis further affirmed that enterocyte proliferation was stimulated in rats fed the GLP2‐SC strain, as indicated by the greater number of enterocytes stained with proliferative cell nuclear antigen (P < 0.05). In vitro, the proliferation of rat enterocytes was also stimulated by GLP‐2 expressed by the GLP2‐SC strain (P < 0.01). Herein, the combination of the GLP‐2 approach and probiotic delivery constitute a possible dietary supplement for animals after weaning. 相似文献

Aim
To determine whether novobiocin resistance strategy could be used to attenuate a virulent Aeromonas hydrophila AH11P strain and to characterize the growth and pathogenic differences between the novobiocin‐resistant strain and its virulent parent strain AH11P.Methods and Results
A novobiocin‐resistant strain AH11NOVO was obtained from a virulent Aer. hydrophila strain AH11P through selection of resistance to novobiocin. AH11NOVO was found to be avirulent to channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), whereas AH11P was virulent. When AH11NOVO vaccinated channel catfish were challenged with AH11P at 14 days postvaccination, relative per cent of survival of vaccinated fish was 100%. The cell proliferation rate of AH11NOVO was found to be significantly (P < 0·05) less than that of AH11P. In vitro motility assay revealed that AH11NOVO was nonmotile, whereas AH11P was motile. AH11NOVO had significantly (P < 0·05) lower in vitro chemotactic response to catfish mucus than that of AH11P. Although the ability of AH11NOVO to attach catfish gill cells was similar to that of AH11P, the ability of AH11NOVO to invade catfish gill cells was significantly (P < 0·05) lower than that of AH11P.Conclusions
The novobiocin‐resistant AH11NOVO is attenuated and different from its parent AH11P in pathogenicity.Significance and Impact of the Study
The significantly lower chemotactic response and invasion ability of AH11NOVO compared with that of its virulent parent strain AH11P might shed light on the pathogenesis of Aer. hydrophila. 相似文献19.

The effects of Cu(II) supplementation on glycemic parameters, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), antioxidant status (glutathione;
GSH and total antioxidant capacity; TAOC) and lipid peroxidative damage (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, TBARS) were
investigated in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. The study was carried out on Wistar albino rats grouped as control
(n = 10), CuCl2 treated (n = 9), STZ (n = 10) and STZ,CuCl2 treated (n = 9). STZ was administered intraperitoneally at a single dose of 65 mg/kg and CuCl2, 4 mg copper/kg, subcutaneously, every 2 days for 60 days. At the end of this period, glucose(mg/dl), Cu(μg/dl), TBARS(μmol/l),
TAOC(mmol/l) were measured in plasma, GSH(mg/gHb) in erythrocytes and glycated hemoglobin (GHb)(%) in blood. Plasma AGE-peptides(%)
were measured by HPLC flow system with spectrofluorimetric and spectrophotometric detectors connected on-line. Data were analyzed
by the non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U test. In the STZ group glucose, GHb and AGE-peptide levels were all
significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05, and P < 0.01, respectively). CuCl2 treated group had significantly lower glucose but significantly higher GHb, TAOC and TBARS levels than the control group
(P < 0.05, P < 0.001, P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). STZ,CuCl2 treated group had significantly higher GHb, TAOC and TBARS levels compared with the control group (P < 0.001, P < 0.05 and P < 0.05, respectively); but only TAOC level was significantly higher than the STZ group (P < 0.01). This experimental study provides evidence that copper intake increases total antioxidant capacity in both nondiabetic
and diabetic states. However despite the potentiated antioxidant defence, lipid peroxidation and glycation enhancing effects
of CuCl2 are evident under nondiabetic conditions. 相似文献

Summary Yeast mutant strains which secrete large amounts of human lysozyme were screened using an agar medium containing bacterial cells. Nine mutants secreted over 10 times more lysozyme than the wild-type parent strain. The mRNA levels for lysozyme in the mutants were not higher than that of the wild-type strain. Three of the mutant strains were deficient in carboxypeptidase Y activity. It was found that the protease deficiency was caused by a deficiency in conversion of proenzyme to mature enzyme in ssl1 mutant cells. The ssl1 gene was found to be closely linked to the centromere and determine both the efficiency of secretion of lysozyme and the processing of carboxypeptidase Y.Abbreviations CPY
