Absence of AfuXpot, the yeast Los1 homologue, limits Aspergillus fumigatus growth under amino acid deprived condition.

Abstract:

:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, los1 encodes a nuclear tRNA exporter. Despite the non-essentiality, the deletion of los1 has been shown to extend replicative life span in yeast. Here, we characterized AfuXpot, the los1 homologue in human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus and found that it is continuously expressed during fungal growth. Microscopic examination of an AfuXpot-GFP-expressing transformant confirmed the nuclear localization of the fusion protein. The targeted gene deletion affirmed the non-essential role of AfuXpot in hyphal growth and sporulation. However, the growth of the deletion mutant was affected by amino acid, but not glucose, deprivation. The susceptibility of the deletant strain to protein and DNA/RNA synthesis inhibitors was also altered. Using bioinformatics tools, some transcription factor binding sites were predicted in AfuXpot promoter. Expression analyses of potential AfuXpot-interacting genes showed a marked down-regulation of sfp1 and mtr10 homologues in ΔAfuXpot strain. Our data demonstrates some conserved aspects of AfuXpot as a tRNA exporter in A. fumigatus.
