Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized as an important mechanism for cell-cell interactions. Their role in fungi is still poorly understood and they have been isolated from only a handful of species. Here, we isolated and characterized EVs from Aureobasidium pullulans, a biotechnologically important black yeast-like fungus that is increasingly used for biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. After optimization of the isolation protocol, characterization of EVs from A. pullulans by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed a typical cup-shaped morphology and different subpopulations of EVs. These results were confirmed by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), which revealed that A. pullulans produced 6.1 × 10 nanoparticles per milliliter of culture medium. Proteomic analysis of EVs detected 642 proteins. A small fraction of them had signal peptides for secretion and transmembrane domains. Proteins characteristic of different synthesis pathways were found, suggesting that EVs are synthesized by multiple pathways in A. pullulans. Enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology showed that most of the proteins found in the EVs were associated with primary metabolism. When sequencing the small RNA fraction of A. pullulans EVs, we found two hypothetical novel mil-RNAs. Finally, we tested the biocontrol potential of EVs from A. pullulans. The EVs did not inhibit the germination of spores of three important phytopathogenic fungi-Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum acutatum, and Penicillium expansum. However, exposure of grown cultures of C. acutatum and P. expansum to A. pullulans EVs resulted in visible changes in morphology of colonies. These preliminary results suggest that EVs may be part of the antagonistic activity of A. pullulans, which is so far only partially understood. Thus, the first isolation and characterization of EVs from A. pullulans provides a starting point for further studies of EVs in the biotechnologically important traits of the biocontrol black fungus A. pullulans in particular and in the biological role of fungal EVs in general.

摘要

细胞外囊泡(EVs)日益被认为是细胞间相互作用的重要机制。它们在真菌中的作用仍知之甚少,且仅从少数几个物种中分离得到过。在此,我们从出芽短梗霉中分离并鉴定了细胞外囊泡,出芽短梗霉是一种在生物技术领域具有重要意义的类酵母黑真菌,越来越多地用于对植物病原真菌和细菌的生物防治。在优化分离方案后,通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)对出芽短梗霉的细胞外囊泡进行表征,揭示了典型的杯状形态和不同亚群的细胞外囊泡。纳米颗粒跟踪分析(NTA)证实了这些结果,该分析表明出芽短梗霉每毫升培养基产生6.1×10个纳米颗粒。对细胞外囊泡的蛋白质组分析检测到642种蛋白质。其中一小部分具有分泌信号肽和跨膜结构域。发现了不同合成途径特有的蛋白质,这表明出芽短梗霉中的细胞外囊泡是通过多种途径合成的。使用基因本体论进行的富集分析表明,在细胞外囊泡中发现的大多数蛋白质与初级代谢相关。对出芽短梗霉细胞外囊泡的小RNA部分进行测序时,我们发现了两种假定的新型mil-RNA。最后,我们测试了出芽短梗霉细胞外囊泡的生物防治潜力。这些细胞外囊泡并未抑制三种重要植物病原真菌——灰葡萄孢、尖孢炭疽菌和扩展青霉的孢子萌发。然而,将尖孢炭疽菌和扩展青霉的培养物暴露于出芽短梗霉细胞外囊泡中,导致菌落形态出现明显变化。这些初步结果表明,细胞外囊泡可能是出芽短梗霉拮抗活性的一部分,目前对此仅部分了解。因此,首次从出芽短梗霉中分离和鉴定细胞外囊泡为进一步研究细胞外囊泡在这种具有生物防治作用的重要黑真菌(特别是出芽短梗霉)的生物技术特性以及真菌细胞外囊泡的生物学作用方面提供了一个起点。
