The siderophore-mediated iron uptake machinery is required by the tangerine pathotype of Alternaria alternata to colonize host plants. The present study reports the functions of the GATA-type transcription regulator SreA by analyzing loss- and gain-of-function mutants. The expression of sreA is transiently upregulated by excess iron. The sreA deficiency mutant (ΔsreA) shows severe growth defect but produces ACT toxin and incites necrotic lesions on citrus leaves as efficiently as wild type. SreA suppresses the expression of genes encoding polypeptides required for siderophore biosynthesis and transport under iron-replete conditions. Under iron-replete conditions, SreA impacts the expression of the genes encoding the NADPH oxidase complex involved in H2O2 production. SreA negatively impacts H2O2 resistance as ΔsreA increases resistance to H2O2. However, sreA deficiency has no effects on the expression of genes encoding several key factors (Yap1, Hog1, and Skn7) involved in oxidative stress resistance. ΔsreA increases resistance to calcofluor white and Congo red, which may suggest a role of SreA in the maintenance of cell wall integrity. Those are novel phenotypes associated with fungal sreA. Overall, our results indicate that SreA is required to protect fungal cells from cytotoxicity caused by excess iron. The results also highlight the regulatory functions of SreA and provide insights into the critical role of siderophore-mediated iron homeostasis in resistance to oxidative stress in A. alternata.

铁载体阻遏物 SreA 维持植物病原真菌 Alternaria alternata 的生长、过氧化氢抗性和细胞壁完整性。

铁载体介导的铁吸收机制是 Alternaria alternata 的橘子病型在寄主植物中定殖所必需的。本研究通过分析功能缺失和功能获得突变体来报告 GATA 型转录调节因子 SreA 的功能。sreA 的表达被过量铁瞬时上调。sreA 缺陷突变体 (ΔsreA) 显示严重的生长缺陷,但产生 ACT 毒素并在柑橘叶片上与野生型一样有效地引发坏死病变。SreA 抑制在铁充足条件下铁载体生物合成和转运所需的多肽编码基因的表达。在铁充足的条件下,SreA 影响编码参与 H2O2 产生的 NADPH 氧化酶复合物的基因的表达。SreA 对 H2O2 的抵抗力产生负面影响,因为 ΔsreA 会增加对 H2O2 的抵抗力。然而,sreA 缺乏对编码参与氧化应激抗性的几个关键因子(Yap1、Hog1 和 Skn7)的基因表达没有影响。ΔsreA 增加了对 calcofluor 白和刚果红的抵抗力,这可能表明 SreA 在维持细胞壁完整性方面的作用。这些是与真菌 sreA 相关的新表型。总的来说,我们的结果表明 SreA 是保护真菌细胞免受过量铁引起的细胞毒性所必需的。结果还突出了 SreA 的调节功能,并提供了对铁载体介导的铁稳态在 A. alternata 抗氧化应激中的关键作用的见解。ΔsreA 增加了对 calcofluor 白和刚果红的抵抗力,这可能表明 SreA 在维持细胞壁完整性方面的作用。这些是与真菌 sreA 相关的新表型。总的来说,我们的结果表明 SreA 是保护真菌细胞免受过量铁引起的细胞毒性所必需的。结果还突出了 SreA 的调节功能,并提供了对铁载体介导的铁稳态在 A. alternata 抗氧化应激中的关键作用的见解。ΔsreA 增加了对 calcofluor 白和刚果红的抵抗力,这可能表明 SreA 在维持细胞壁完整性方面的作用。这些是与真菌 sreA 相关的新表型。总的来说,我们的结果表明 SreA 是保护真菌细胞免受过量铁引起的细胞毒性所必需的。结果还突出了 SreA 的调节功能,并提供了对铁载体介导的铁稳态在 A. alternata 抗氧化应激中的关键作用的见解。
