Exploring MicroRNA-Like Small RNAs in the Filamentous Fungus Fusarium oxysporum

Abstract: RNA silencing such as quelling and meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA (MSUD) and several other classes of special small RNAs have been discovered in filamentous fungi recently. More than four different mechanisms of microRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) production have been illustrated in the model fungus Neurospora crassa including a dicer-independent pathway. To date, very little work focusing on small RNAs in fungi has been reported and no universal or particular characteristic of milRNAs were defined clearly. In thi… Show more

“…Only the miRNA-like sequences were identified since they were identified in the model filamentous fungus N. crassa (Lee et al, 2010). Many milRNAs have been identified in many other fungi, such as Fusarium oxysporum (Chen et al, 2014), T. reesei (Kang et al, 2013), P. marneffei (Lau et al, 2013) and M. anisopliae (Zhou et al, 2012b), but the presence of milRNAs in aflatoxinproducing filamentous fungus A. flavus was largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated, for the first time, experimental evidence supporting the existence of milRNAs in A. flavus.…”

“…The genomes of several filamentous pathogens have evolved towards compartmentalization into repeat-rich, genesparse regions that contain effector genes, and repeat-poor gene-rich regions that contain housekeeping genes (Dong et al, 2015;FouchĂ© et al, 2018). Although there have been several sRNA profiling studies on plant pathogenic fungi (Chen et al, 2014;Mueth et al, 2015;Zhou et al, 2012), whether sRNA loci are associated with repeat-rich, gene-poor regions of fungal genomes has not yet been considered.…”

“…Previously, it was generally accepted that miRNA and miRNA-like did not exist in fungus. In recent years, the small RNAs, especially miRNA-like small RNAs, were widely studied in fungal species based on the deep sequencing technology, such as Fusarium oxysporum (Schumann et al 2013;Chen et al 2014), Cryptococcus neoformans (Jiang et al 2012), Trichoderma reesei (Kang et al 2013), Penicillium marneffei (Lau et al 2013), Neurospora crassa , Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Zhou et al 2012a), and Metarhizium anisopliae (Zhou et al 2012b).…”
