De Novo Transcriptome Sequencing of the Deep-Sea-Derived Fungus Dichotomomyces cejpii and Analysis of Gliotoxin Biosynthesis Genes

Abstract: Gliotoxin, produced by fungi, is an epipolythiodioxopiperazine (ETP) toxin with bioactivities such as anti-liver fibrosis, antitumor, antifungus, antivirus, antioxidation, and immunoregulation. Recently, cytotoxic gliotoxins were isolated from a deep-sea-derived fungus, Dichotomomyces cejpii. However, the biosynthetic pathway for gliotoxins in D. cejpii remains unclear. In this study, the transcriptome of D. cejpii was sequenced using an Illumina Hiseq 2000. A total of 19,125 unigenes for D. cejpii were obtain… Show more

“…However, the binding capacity of DcGliZ core protein with the pG promoter was indeed verified by EMSA assay. The pG promoter was obtained using genome walking kit to amplify the upstream sequences of the gliG gene, which encodes glutathione S-transferase (GST), and the function of GST in gliotoxin biosynthesis has been proven in our previous study [27]. The transcriptional activity of pG promoter was also confirmed by assaying fluorescence intensity [48].…”

“…The cDNA library was sequenced on the Illumina sequencing platform (Illumina HiSeq™ 2500, San Diego, CA, USA) using the paired-end (PE) technology within a single run, in which 100 bp PE reads were obtained. The original image process to sequences, base calling, and quality value calculation were performed using the Illumina GA Pipeline (version 1.6) [42,43]. All the sequencing processes of different B. sorokiniana samples were conducted in duplicates.…”

“…Moreover, LaeA [18] and VeA [19] global regulators have also been demonstrated to play an important role in the generation of gliotoxins in A. fumigutas. In addition, the in vitro function of genes related to gliotoxin biosynthesis, including gliZ, gliG, gliI, and gliO in deep-sea fungus Dichotomyces cejpii FS110 [20] and gliotoxin biosynthesis-related genes gliK, gliM, and gliT in deep-sea fungus Geosmithia pallida FS140 [21], have been characterized by their biochemical reaction. Interestingly, GliK was reported to exert the function of gliotoxin acetylation, thus facilitating the generation of gliotoxin derivates in G. pallida FS140.…”

“…Gliotoxin and its derivatives have been excavated from deep-sea fungus D. cejpii FS110 [20] and G. pallida FS140 [21] in our group. Additionally, epipolythiodioxopiperazine derivatives of gliotoxin with the dithiol group showed weaker cytotoxicity compared with gliotoxin, and gliotoxin derivates of the methylthio group showed much weaker cytotoxicity than that of dithiol gliotoxin.…”
