The use of RNAi to suppress gene function in industrial fungi Nigel S. Dunn-Coleman BMS Meeting, Manchester September , 2005 RNAi pathway in N. crassa mRNA cleavage and degradation mRNA mRNA cleavage and degradation AAA AAA endogene QDE2 Nucleus RISC siRNA transgenes DNA\DNA interaction QDE3 epigenetic modifications DCR1 DCR2 dicer QDE3 dsRNA QDE1 RdRP aberrant ssRNA activity 3 RNAi vector for T. reesei The inverted repeat is placed under the control of a quinic acid inducible promoter XmaI 5’end 945nt 350nt intron XmaI qa-2p XmaI trpC T pIR dsRNA 3’end benomyl 4 Isolation of multicopy transformants Southern Blot T. ressei transformed with N.crassa albino gene (al-1) RNAi vector 13 65 3 12 14 24 25 49 51 57 60 M B M B 5 Evidence for the RNAi pathway activity DICER in T. reesei Small interfering RNAs corresponding to the al-1 dsRNA.The transformants 1, 24 and 42 show a clear accumulation of siRNA. The RNA was extracted from cultures either in quinic induced (i) or noninduced conditions (ni). The 6xw is a Neurospora silenced strain with multiple copies of transgene, used as positive control. The strains B1 and B7 are also positive controls. 6 RNAi reporter system for fungi Genencor in collaboration with academic researchers has developed laccase as a reporter system for gene activity for A. niger and T. reesei (submitted) laccase gene over expressed in T. reesei strain P37(ABTS indicator plates) 7 RNAi hairpin construct targeting T.reesei expressed Stacchybotyris laccase B gene repeat, 500 bp lccB anti-sense strand 500 bp lccB sense strand unpaired ATGACCTAA TTAGGTCAT transcription lccB Effective suppression of laccase activity UUAGGUCAU hairpin ds-mRNA AUGACCUAA PCR 8 Small interfering RNA's are present only in laccase silenced strains siRNA Northern 24 bp lccB biotin labeled specific probe 1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 anti-probe 24 bp DNA Oligo (positive control) P37 expressing laccase, base strain (negative control) P37 expressing laccase, base strain (negative control) P37; parent strain (negative control) RNAi strain, lccB1-8 (laccase silenced) RNAi strain, lccB1-21 (laccase silenced) RNAi strain, lccB1-26 (laccase silenced) RNAi strain, lccB2-5 (laccase silenced) RNAi strain, lccB2-7 (laccase silenced) 9 Use of RNAi to manipulate fungal morphology The mutations in the cot1 gene can results in compact morphologies Normal growth +RNAi-cot1 vector 10 Use RNAi to characterize regulatory function in protein secretion areA is a positively acting regulatory gene which has been shown to be essential for activating genes encoding enzymes, permeases, needed to acquire nitrogen for the environment areA has recently been shown in Aspergillus to play a positive role in cellulase expression creB and creC play a role in conjunction with cre1 in the regulation of cellulases. Make RNAi versions of these genes to determine impact on cellulase expression. The genes for all three of these regulators are found in the JGI T. reesei genome sequence No mutants for areA, creB or creC exist in T. reesei 11 Use RNAi to characterize regulatory function in protein secretion Slide by R Prade OSU 12 mRNA degradation in cre1-RNAi hairpin strains 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 cre1 mRNA Probable creA mRNA degradation product Lanes 1-7: P-37 independent cre1-RNAi transformants Lane 8.

However, very few (less than 10%) of the transformants strains show an “inducible” silencing IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A VERY TIGHTLY REGULATED PROMOTER 25 B.
