摘要
探究LaeA蛋白对黑曲霉形态发展,赭曲霉毒素合成和氧化耐受的影响,为控制黑曲霉侵染和赭曲霉毒素合成提供理论基础。利用农杆菌介导的同源重组方法,构建黑曲霉laeA基因敲除菌株,比较野生株和敲除菌株在形态发展、赭曲霉毒素合成和氧化耐受性的差异。结果表明相比野生型菌株,△laeA菌株生长速度减慢,产孢减少,菌丝长且松散,枝节相对较少;赭曲霉毒素A(ochratoxin A,OTA)合成量大幅减少,光照培养7 d,OTA减少92.45%,黑暗培养7 d,OTA减少99.03%;对氧的敏感性增加,10 mmol/L H_2O_2可完全抑制△laeA菌株生长,5 mmol/L H_2O_2胁迫条件下,△laeA菌株相比于野生菌株,细胞内抗氧化酶活性显著降低。LaeA蛋白正调控黑曲霉产孢、OTA合成及氧化耐受性。
To explore the function of the LaeA protein with regard to morphological development,ochratoxin biosynthesis and oxidative stress tolerance in Aspergillus niger. Also,to contribute to a better understanding of the laeA regulatory mechanism in Aspergillus niger. We proposed the laeA gene as a potential target in developing a control strategy to prevent Aspergillus niger infection and ochratoxin biosynthesis. An Aspergillus niger laeA gene disruption strain was constructed by Agrobacterium-mediated homologous recombination. A wild type(WT)was compared with the △laeA strain to examine differences in morphological development,ochratoxin biosynthesis and oxidative stress tolerance. Compared with WT,the △laeA strain had reduced hyphal growth,hyphal branching,and conidia production. Moreover,the △laeA strain almost abolished the bios-ynthesis of ochratoxin A(OTA). After 7 d of growth in both light and dark conditions,OTA production decreased by 92.45 % and 99.03 %,respectively,when compared with WT. The △laeA strain also showed increased sensitivity to oxidative stress. When 10 mmol/L H_2O_2 was added to the growth medium,the △laeA strain could not grow,whereas the WT strain was able to form colonies. Compared with WT,the △laeA strain has significantly decreased antioxidant enzyme activity under 5 mmol/L H_2O_2 oxidative stress. The LaeA protein acts as a positive regulator on conidia production,OTA biosynthesis,and oxidative stress tolerance in Aspergillus niger.
