摘要
The study aimed at elucidation the bio-function of an epigenetic regulator-ash1 gene in A.flavus.The ash1 gene deletion strain(Δash1) and ash1 Complementation strain(Com-ash1) were constructed by homologous recombination in the study.It was found in morphology analysis that conidial production in the Δash1 strain was increased compared to Com-ash1 and WT strains.By Q-PCR analysis,it was found that ash1 gene depressed conidial production by conidia development regulator genes:aba A and brl A.On YPD medium,the flavus colonies were significantly smaller than those of WT and com-ash1 strains when ash1 gene was deleted,and ash1 gene was found involved in sclerotia development.It showed ash1 gene deletion significantly affect the development of sclerotia in 6 d culture,none sclerotia was found in Δash1 strain compare to Com-ash1 and WT strains.By Q-PCR test,The results showed ash1 gene regulate sclerotia formation through sclerotia regulators:nsd C and nsd D.In secondary metabolites bio-synthesis analysis by TLC and HPLC analysis,it was found that Aflatoxin B1(AFB1) expression level was dramatically down-regulated when ash1 gene was deleted.Q-PCR analysis revealed ash1 gene regulator the secondary metabolites of A.flavus by AFB1 bio-synthesis regulators afl R and afl S,and by AFB1 bio-synthesis related enzymes:afl C,afl D,afl K,and afl Q.It also found ash1 gene could shape the expression spectrum of the secondary metabolites of A.flavus by HPLC analysis with ultraviolet full wavelength scanning.It was found that a significant peak near 15 min disappear from Δash1 strains compared to WT strain at 254 nm.In peanut and corn invasion analysis,the AFB1 bio-synthesis and the conidia producing capacity of A.flavus was significantly down-regulated when ash1 gene was deleted,which suggested ash1 gene is required in the process of mycotoxin contamination and offspring transmission of A.flavus among crops.In animal invasion model,lethality of A.flavus to silkworm and Kunming mice were significantly down-regulated when ash1 gene was knockout.The study showed that Epigenetic regulation-histone lysine methylation transferase Ash1 play an critical role in morphogenesis,secondary metabolites bio-synthesis,and pathogenicity of A.flavus.And more attention should be paid on the role of histone methylation transferases on fungal development,secondary metabolism,and even pathogenicity.
