Regulation of subtelomeric fungal secondary metabolite genes by H3K4me3 regulators CclA and KdmB

Abstract: Summary Studies on the regulation of fungal secondary metabolism highlight the importance of histone H3K4 methylation regulators Set1, CclA (Ash2) and KdmB (KDM5), but it remains unclear whether these proteins act by direct modulation of H3K4me3 at the target genes. In filamentous fungi, secondary metabolite genes are frequently located near telomeres, a site where H3K4 methylation is thought to have a repressive role. Here we analyzed the role of CclA, KdmB and H3K4me3 in regulating the subtelomeric EAS and L… Show more

“…In fact, from the analyzed SMs that are affected by the loss of FgKdm5, all of them were found to be downregulated in ∆ fgkdm5 . Similarly, lack of the KDM5 homolog KdmB in Epichloë festucae resulted in reduced expression of the SMGCs involved in lolitrem ( ltm ) as well as ergoalkaloids and indole diterpenes ( eas ) biosynthesis (Lukito et al, 2019). Contrary to A. nidulans but in line with F. fujikuroi (Janevska et al, 2018), Fusarium strains deficient for H3K4 methylation did not phenocopy the ∆ fgkdm5 strain.…”

“…This is not surprising given that H3K9 and H3K36 methylation defects would affect the expression of a large number of genes, resulting in more dramatic phenotypes for these mutants. However, these host colonization and symbiosis defects appear to be specific to these two H3 marks as mutations that affect H3K4 and H3K27 methylation have little or no impact on the host interaction phenotype [8,10].…”

“…Deletion of the cclA gene, which encodes a homolog of the Bre2 component of the COMPASS (Set1) complex responsible for deposition of H3K4me3, also led to transcriptional activation of the IDT and EAS genes in axenic culture. In contrast, deletion of the kdmB gene, which encodes the H3K4me3 demethylase, decreased in planta expression of the IDT and EAS genes, and reduced levels of IDTs in planta [10]. Plants infected with the cclA or kdmB mutants have a host interaction phenotype that is similar to wildtype, demonstrating that loss of the ability to add (DcclA) or remove (DkdmB) H3K4me3 does not impact on the ability of E. festucae to establish a symbiosis.…”
