Abstract:

【Objective】Abp1 is one of the actin binding proteins that plays a central role in actin cytoskeleton of diverse eukaryotic organisms. The objective of this study is to analyze functions of the actin binding protein FgAbp1 in growth and development, sensitivity to the novel fungicide phenamacril and toxisome formation inFusarium graminearum.【Method】Targeted gene deletion construct and fluorescent protein fusion vectors were generated by double-joint PCR and budding yeast gap repair system, respectively. Then, the mutant ΔFgAbp1 and fluorescently labeled strains were obtained using polyethylene glycol (PEG) mediated protoplast transformation. Mycelia growth, sexual/asexual reproduction and sensitivity to phenamacril of wild type PH-1, the mutant ΔFgAbp1 and complemented strain ΔFgAbp1-C were investigated. Localization of FgAbp1 in hyphae was examined through fusion green fluorescent protein. Transmission electron microscopy was carried out to assay the role of FgAbp1 in vacuole/vesicle morphology. Under noninducing medium and DON biosynthesis induction conditions, the role of FgAbp1 in the toxisome formation of F. graminearum was performed by dual fluorescence colocalization assay.【Result】FgAbp1 is primarily localized near the cell membrane in patches of F. graminearum. In MM medium, the growth rate of gene knockout mutant ΔFgAbp1 was reduced by 15% compared with the wild type. But in the nutrient-rich CM, the growth rate of ΔFgAbp1 was decreased by 38%. The mutant ΔFgAbp1 had no obvious defects in sexual and asexual reproduction in comparison with the wild type, while the mycelial growth of ΔFgAbp1 was completely inhibited and the conidia showed significant reduction of germination rate with 0.5 μg·mL -1 phenamacril treatment. Moreover,FgAbp1 deletion resulted in a high vesicle number and a block of normal vacuole formation. During growth in a toxin noninducing condition, FgAbp1 and the DON biosynthetic key enzyme Tri1 co-fluoresced in vesicles. Unexpectedly, FgAbp1 and Tri1 cellular co-localized in toxisomes under DON biosynthesis inducing conditions. Furthermore, disruption of FgAbp1resulted in abnormal toxisomes.【Conclusion】The actin binding protein FgAbp1 plays an important role in vegetative growth, development, phenamacril tolerance and toxisome formation inF. graminearum.

Key words: Fusarium graminearum, FgAbp1, phenamacril, toxisome
