Genetically encoded Ca indicators (GECIs) enable long-term monitoring of cellular and subcellular dynamics of this second messenger in response to environmental and developmental cues without relying on exogenous dyes. Continued development and optimization in GECIs, combined with advances in gene manipulation, offer new opportunities for investigating the mechanism of Ca signaling in fungi, ranging from documenting Ca signatures under diverse conditions and genetic backgrounds to evaluating how changes in Ca signature impact calcium-binding proteins and subsequent cellular changes. Here, we attempted to express multi-color (green, yellow, blue, cyan, and red) circularly permuted fluorescent protein (FP)-based Ca indicators driven by multiple fungal promoters in Fusarium oxysporum, F. graminearum, and Neurospora crassa. Several variants were successfully expressed, with GCaMP5G driven by the Magnaporthe oryzae ribosomal protein 27 and F. verticillioides elongation factor-1α gene promoters being optimal for F. graminearum and F. oxysporum, respectively. Transformants expressing GCaMP5G were compared with those expressing YC3.60, a ratiometric Cameleon Ca indicator. Wild-type and three Ca signaling mutants of F. graminearum expressing GCaMP5G exhibited improved signal-to-noise and increased temporal and spatial resolution and are also more amenable to studies involving multiple FPs compared to strains expressing YC3.60.
遗传编码的钙指示剂 (GECIs) 能够长期监测这种第二信使在响应环境和发育线索时的细胞和亚细胞动力学,而无需依赖外源染料。GECIs 的持续发展和优化,结合基因操作的进步,为研究真菌中钙信号转导的机制提供了新的机会,范围从记录不同条件和遗传背景下的钙特征,到评估钙特征的变化如何影响钙结合蛋白和随后的细胞变化。在这里,我们试图在尖孢镰刀菌、禾谷镰刀菌和粗糙脉孢菌中表达由多个真菌启动子驱动的多色(绿色、黄色、蓝色、青色和红色)环状排列荧光蛋白(FP)基钙指示剂。成功表达了几种变体,其中由稻瘟病菌核糖体蛋白 27 和 F. verticillioides 延伸因子-1α 基因启动子驱动的 GCaMP5G 分别是禾谷镰刀菌和尖孢镰刀菌的最佳选择。表达 GCaMP5G 的转化体与表达比率型 Cameleon Ca 指示剂 YC3.60 的转化体进行了比较。与表达 YC3.60 的菌株相比,表达 GCaMP5G 的禾谷镰刀菌野生型和三个钙信号突变体表现出改善的信噪比和增加的时间和空间分辨率,并且还更适合涉及多个 FP 的研究。
