The regulation of virulence in plant-pathogenic fungi has emerged as a key area of importance underlying host infections. Recent work has highlighted the role of transcription factors (TFs) that mediate the expression of virulence-associated genes. A prominent example is Pf2, a member of the Zn2Cys6 family of fungal TFs, where orthologues regulate the expression of genes linked to parasitism in several plant-pathogen lineages. These include PnPf2 which controls effector-gene expression in Parastagonospora nodorum, thereby determining the outcome of effector-triggered susceptibility on its host, wheat. PnPf2 is a promising target for disease suppression but the genomic targets, or whether other are regulators involved, remain unknown. This study used chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) and a mutagenesis analysis to investigate these components. Two distinct binding motifs connected to positive gene-regulation were characterised and genes directly targeted by PnPf2 were identified. These included genes encoding major effectors and other components associated with the P. nodorum pathogenic lifestyle, such as carbohydrate-active enzymes and nutrient assimilators. This supports a direct involvement of PnPf2 in coordinating virulence on wheat. Other TFs were also prominent PnPf2 targets, suggesting it also operates within a transcriptional network. Several TFs were therefore functionally investigated in connection to fungal virulence. Distinct metabolic and developmental roles were evident for the newly characterised PnPro1, PnAda1, PnEbr1 and the carbon-catabolite repressor PnCreA. Overall, the results uphold PnPf2 as the central transcriptional regulator orchestrating genes that contribute to virulence on wheat and provide mechanistic insight into how this occurs.
