Item PacCl, a pH-responsive transcriptional regulator, is essential in the pathogenicity of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, a causal agent of anthracnose in bean plants(European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2014-08-08) Nogueira, Guilherme Bicalho; Soares, Marcos Antônio; Bazzolli, Denise Mara Soares; Araújo, Elza Fernandes de; Langin, Thierry; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira deIn fungi, the expression of genes encoding proteins related to parasitism is regulated by several factors, including pH. This study reports the structural and functional characterization of the pacCl gene, which encodes the transcription factor PacC of C. lindemuthianum. The pacCl gene showed reduced expression in acidic pH, and its transcription was activated by elevated extracellular pH. The importance of this gene was demonstrated by the development of a pacC1 disruption mutant line of C. lindemuthianum. The mutant line was able to penetrate the host tissue through differentiation of primary hyphae. However, it was not able to cause maceration on the infected plant tissue. The results suggest that PacCl is a regulator of gene activation, and its expression is required for fungal growth in alkaline conditions, as well as for the transcription of genes necessary for the passage from the biotrophic to the necrotrophic phase.Item Beginning to understand the role of sugar carriers in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum: the function of the gene mfs1(Journal of Microbiology, 2012-10-12) Pereira, Monalessa Fábia; Santos, Carolina Maria de Araújo dos; Araújo, Elza Fernandes de; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Bazzolli, Denise Mara SoaresFungi of the Colletotrichum genus are among the most prominent phytopathogens that cause diseases with a considerable economic impact, such as anthracnose. The hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (teleomorph Glomerella cingulata f. sp. phaseoli) is the causal agent of the anthracnose of the common bean; and similarly to other phytopathogens, it uses multiple strategies to gain access to different carbon sources from its host. In this study, we examine mfs1, a newly identified C. lindemuthianum hexose transporter. The mfs1 gene is expressed only during the necrotrophic phase of the fungus’ interaction within the plant and allows it to utilize the available sugars during this phase. The deletion of mfs1 gene resulted in differential growth of the fungus in a medium that contained glucose, mannose or fructose as the only carbon source. This study is the first to describe a hexose transporter in the hemibiotrophic pathogen C. lindemuthianum and to demonstrate the central role of this protein in capturing carbon sources during the necrotrophic development of the plant/pathogen interaction.Item Draft genome sequences of two isolates of colletotrichum lindemuthianum, the causal agent of anthracnose in common beans(Genome Announcements, 2017-03-15) Queiroz, Casley Borges de; Correia, Hilberty L.

Pereira; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira deColletotrichum lindemuthianum is the causal agent of anthracnose in common beans, one of the main limiting factors of their culture. Here, we report for the first time, to our knowledge, a draft of the complete genome sequences of two isolates belonging to 83.501 and 89 A2 2-3 of C. lindemutuianum.Item Draft genome sequences of two isolates of colletotrichuml indemuthianum, the causal agent of anthracnose in common beans(Genome Announcements, 2017-05-04) Queiroz, Casley Borges de; Correia, Hilberty L.
