The cAMP signal pathway controls various biological functions, including secondary metabolism of filamentous fungi. We found that exogenous cAMP represses the production of lovastatin, red pigments, and citrinin in Monascus. Interestingly, a mutant MK-1 with increased lovastatin and red pigments production was not influenced by cAMP on these productions, indicating that cAMP signaling might be lacking in MK-1.
环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)信号通路控制着多种生物学功能,包括丝状真菌的次级代谢。我们发现,外源性cAMP可抑制红曲霉菌中洛伐他汀、红色色素和桔霉素的产生。有趣的是,洛伐他汀和红色色素产量增加的突变体MK-1在这些产物的产生上不受cAMP的影响,这表明MK-1可能缺乏cAMP信号传导。
