Abstract

species are commonly isolated from environmental and clinical samples. As common causes of zoonotic mycosis, species may result in localized or disseminated infections, posing considerable threat to animal and human health. However, the pathogenic profiles of different species varied, in virulence, geographic location and host ranges, which have yet to be explored. Analysing the genomes of species are useful for understanding their pathogenicity. In this study, we analyzed the whole genome of 12 species and six isolates from different clinical samples in China. By combining comparative analyses with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Carbohydrate-Active enZymes (CAZy), antiSMASH, Pfam, and PHI annotations, species showed exuberant primary and secondary metabolism processes. The genome sizes of four main clinical species, i.e., , , , and were significantly smaller than other environmental and clinical species. The contracted genes included mostly CAZymes and peptidases genes that were usually associated with the decay of plants, as well as the genes that were associated with the loss of pathogenicity and the reduced virulence. Our results could, to some extent, explain a habitat shift of species from a saprobic life in plant materials to a pathogenic life in mammals and the increased pathogenicity during the evolution. Gene clusters of melanin and clavaric acid were identified in this study, which improved our understanding on their pathogenicity and possible antitumor effects. Moreover, our analyses revealed no significant genomic variations among different clinical isolates of from different regions in China.

摘要

这些物种通常从环境和临床样本中分离得到。作为人畜共患真菌病的常见病因,这些物种可能导致局部或播散性感染,对动物和人类健康构成相当大的威胁。然而,不同物种的致病特征在毒力、地理位置和宿主范围方面存在差异,尚待探索。分析这些物种的基因组有助于了解它们的致病性。在本研究中,我们分析了来自中国不同临床样本的12个物种和6个分离株的全基因组。通过将比较分析与京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)、碳水化合物活性酶(CAZy)、抗SMASH、Pfam和PHI注释相结合,这些物种显示出旺盛的初级和次级代谢过程。四种主要临床物种,即[具体物种1]、[具体物种2]、[具体物种3]和[具体物种4]的基因组大小明显小于其他环境和临床物种。收缩的基因大多包括通常与植物腐烂相关的CAZy和肽酶基因,以及与致病性丧失和毒力降低相关的基因。我们的结果在一定程度上可以解释这些物种从在植物材料中腐生生活到在哺乳动物中致病生活的栖息地转变以及进化过程中致病性的增加。本研究鉴定了黑色素和棒曲霉素的基因簇,这增进了我们对它们的致病性和可能的抗肿瘤作用的理解。此外,我们的分析表明,来自中国不同地区的不同临床分离株之间没有显著的基因组变异。
