Light‐stimulated phosphorylation of proteins in cell‐free extracts from Trichoderma viride

Abstract: When illuminated by visible light, cell-free extracts from the fungus Trichoderma viride catalysed the phosphorylation of at least two proteins with molecular masses of 18 and I14 kDa which were practically absent when the phosphorylation was performed in the dark. The effect of light could be substituted by 3mM cyclic AMP, not only in the cell-free extract, but also in the separated cytosol. It is concluded that the process of photoinduced conidiation in Trichoderma involves phosphorylation of conidiation-spe… Show more

“…As mentioned above, light induces protein phosphorylation; the addition of cAMP to a cell-free extract of T. viride (now T. atroviride) can mimic the action of light in this process (Gresík et al, 1989). This modification of proteins is a common mechanism of post-translational regulation and is due to the action of protein kinases.…”

“…Light also impacts the cAMP signaling pathway, where it is well established that cAMP as a second messenger is produced by adenylyl cyclase, an enzyme whose activity is modulated by heterotrimeric G-protein ␣-subunits, highlighting the possibility that a photoreceptor coupled to G-proteins (GPCR-like) could be involved in this signaling pathway. Artificially increased intracellular cAMP levels in the dark mimic a light effect in T. atroviride (639) and in T. viride, illumination causes a transient rise in cAMP levels and protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent phosphorylation (640). Additionally, cAMP levels modulate cellulase gene expression (641) and induce coiling (53) in Trichoderma spp.…”

“…Thereby, illumination causes rapid but transient increase in intracellular concentrations of ATP and cAMP, which might contribute to phosphorylation of proteins in response to light. With respect to phosphorylation, the effect of light can be substituted by addition of 3 mM cAMP (Gresik et al 1989). These cAMP levels could be adjusted by the membrane associated adenylyl cyclase, which is activated by light—in contrast to 3′5′ cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, for which this is not the case (Kolarova et al 1992).…”
