Abstract:
:The biocontrol fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum SMF2 secretes a large quantity of peptaibols that have been shown to have a range of biological activities and therefore great application values. However, the mechanism of the regulatory expression of peptaibols is still unclear. The putative methyltransferase LaeA/LAE1 is a global regulator involved in the biosynthesis of some secondary metabolites in filamentous fungi. In this study, we demonstrated that the ortholog of LaeA/LAE1 in the biocontrol fungus T. longibrachiatum SMF2, TlLAE1, plays an important role in the regulation of peptaibols production. Deletion of Tllae1 resulted in a slight negative impact on mycelial growth, and a significant defect in conidial production. Deletion of Tllae1 also compromised the production of peptaibols to a large degree. Further analyses indicated that this defect occurred at the transcriptional level of the two synthetases-encoding genes, tlx1 and tlx2, which are responsible for peptaibols production. By contrast, constitutive expression of Tllae1 in T. longibrachiatum SMF2 led to 2-fold increased peptaibols production, suggesting that this is a strategy to improve peptaibols production in Trichoderma fungi. These results demonstrate the important role of LAE1 in the regulation of peptaibols production in T. longibrachiatum SMF2.
