Isolation and Cloning of Cre1 Gene from a Filamentous Fungus Trichoderma Harzianum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellulases and hemicellulases are two important classes of enzymes produced by filamentous fungi and secreted into the cultivation medium. The production of these enzymes is under carbon catabolite repression (CCR), a general mechanism that prevents their synthesis in the presence of a preferred carbon source such as glucose. CRE1 causes the repression of transcription of cellulase and xylanase encoding genes. This study describes the isolation and cloning of a partial sequence of glucose repressor creI gene from Trichoderma harzianum E-58. The fungus was grown in Vogel’s medium at 28C, and pH 5.5 with glucose as a carbon source. Genomic DNA was subjected to the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplification of cre1 gene by using degenerate primers. The PCR product was purified through agarose gel electrophoresis and ligated into pTZ57R/T vector. The ligation mixture was then transformed into E. coli DH10B and spread on the LB agar plate containing ampicillin. Clone analysis by PCR was done to confirm the positive transformants. These results will help study the regulation of cellulase and xylanase gene expression in the fungus in future.

Trichoderma spp. are important biocontrol filamentous fungi, which are widely used for their adaptability, broad antimicrobial spectrum, and various antagonistic mechanisms. In our previous studies, we cloned thga1 gene encoding GαI protein from Trichoderma harzianum Th-33. Its knockout mutant showed that the growth rate, conidial yield, cAMP level, antagonistic action, and hydrophobicity decre...

Trichoderma harzianum is a filamentous fungus well adapted to different ecological niches. Owing to its ability to antagonize a wide range of plant pathogens, it is used as a biological control agent in agriculture. Selected strains of T. harzianum are also able to increase the tolerance of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little is known about the regulatory elements of the T. h...

Trichoderma harzianum is a filamentous fungus reported to be a producer of extracellular N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase) when grown in chitin-containing medium. An approximately 64-kDa protein with NAGase activity was purified by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The involvement of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the synthesis of NAGase from T. harzianum in chitin-containing medium ...
