SumO is not only required for sexual development but also for accurate induction and light stimulation of asexual development. The Aspergillus nidulans COMPASS complex including its subunits CclA and the methyltransferase SetA connects the SumO network to histone modification. SetA is required for correct positioning of aerial hyphae for conidiophore and asexual spore formation. Multicellular fungal development requires sumoylation and desumoylation. This includes the SumO processing enzyme UlpB, the E1 SumO activating enzyme AosA/UbaB, the E2 conjugation enzyme UbcN and UlpA as major SumO isopeptidase. Genetic suppression analysis suggests a connection between the genes for the Nedd8 isopeptidase DenA and the SumO isopeptidase UlpA and therefore a developmental interplay between neddylation and sumoylation in fungi. Biochemical evidence suggests an additional connection of the fungal SumO network with ubiquitination. Members of the cellular SumO network include histone modifiers, components of the transcription, RNA maturation and stress response machinery, or metabolic enzymes. Our data suggest that the SumO network controls specific temporal and spatial steps in fungal differentiation."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/mmi.12421"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24279728"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/15836"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1365-2958"],["dc.title","Interplay of the fungal sumoylation network for control of multicellular development"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we identify a nuclear J domain protein, Dnj4, in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans and demonstrate that it interacts with histones 3 and 4, suggesting a role as a histone chaperone. In support of this idea, a dnj4Δ deletion mutant had elevated levels of DNA damage and was hypersensitive to DNA-damaging agents. The transcriptional response to DNA damage was also impaired in the dnj4Δ mutant. Genes related to DNA damage and iron homeostasis were upregulated in the wild-type strain in response to hydroxyurea treatment; however, their upregulation was either absent from or reduced in the dnj4Δ mutant. Accordingly, excess iron rescued the mutant's growth in response to DNA-damaging agents. Iron homeostasis is crucial for virulence in C. neoformans; however, Dnj4 was found to be dispensable for disease in a mouse model of cryptococcosis. Finally, we confirmed a conserved role for Dnj4 as a histone chaperone by expressing it in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and showing that it disrupted endogenous histone chaperoning. Altogether, this study highlights the importance of a JDP cochaperone in maintaining genome integrity in C. neoformans. IMPORTANCE DNA replication, gene expression, and genomic repair all require precise coordination of the many proteins that interact with DNA. This includes the histones as well as their chaperones. In this study, we show that a histone chaperone, Dnj4, is required for genome integrity and for the response to DNA damage. The gene encoding this protein in Cryptococcus neoformans lacks an ortholog in Saccharomyces cerevisiae; however, it is conserved in humans in which its ortholog is essential. Since it is not essential in C. neoformans, we were able to generate deletion mutants to characterize the roles of Dnj4. We also expressed Dnj4 in S. cerevisiae, in which it was able to bind S. cerevisiae histones and interfere with existing histone chaperoning machinery. Therefore, we show a conserved role for Dnj4 in histone chaperoning that suggests that C. neoformans is useful to better understand aspects of this important biological process."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1128/mbio.03273-21"],["dc.identifier.pmid","34933457"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/98735"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.eissn","2150-7511"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Mikrobiologie und Genetik"],["dc.title","A J Domain Protein Functions as a Histone Chaperone to Maintain Genome Integrity and the Response to DNA Damage in a Human Fungal Pathogen"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The P. torridus gene for a glucose dehydrogenase was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme, GdhA, was purified and characterized. Based on its substrate and coenzyme specificity, physicochemical characteristics, and mobility during native PAGE, GdhA apparently resembles the main glucose dehydrogenase activity present in the crude extract of P. torridus DSM 9790 cells. The glucose dehydrogenase was partially purified from P. torridus cells and identified by MS to be identical with the recombinant GdhA. P. torridus GdhA preferred NADP(+) over NAD(+) as the coenzyme, but was nonspecific for the configuration at C-4 of the sugar substrate, oxidizing both glucose and its epimer galactose (K-m values 10.0 and 4.5 mm, respectively). Detection of a dual-specific glucose/galactose dehydrogenase points to the possibility that a 'promiscuous' Entner-Doudoroff pathway may operate in P. torridus, similar to the one recently postulated for the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus. Based on Zn2+ supplementation and chelation experiments, the P. torridus GdhA appears to contain structurally important zinc, and conserved metal-binding residues suggest that the enzyme also contains a zinc ion near the catalytic site, similar to the glucose dehydrogenase enzymes from yeast and Thermoplasma acidophilum. Strikingly, NADPH, one of the products of the GdhA reaction, is unstable under the conditions thought to prevail in Picrophilus cells, which have been reported to maintain the lowest cytoplasmic pH known (pH 4.6). At the optimum growth temperature for P. torridus, 60 degreesC, the half-life of NADPH at pH 4.6 was merely 2.4 min, and only 1.7 min at 65 degreesC (maximum growth temperature). This finding suggests a rapid turnover of NADPH in Picrophilus."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1742-4658.2004.04539.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000227359500016"],["dc.identifier.pmid","15691337"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/16292"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Blackwell Publishing Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1742-464X"],["dc.title","Properties of the recombinant glucose/galactose dehydrogenase from the extreme thermoacidophile, Picrophilus torridus"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
