Small GTPase FoSec4-Mediated Protein Secretion Is Important for Polarized Growth, Reproduction and Pathogenicity in the Banana Fusarium Wilt Fungus Fusarium odoratissimum

Apical secretion at hyphal tips is important for the growth and development of filamentous fungi. In this study, we analyzed the role of the Rab GTPases FoSec4 involved in the secretion of the banana wilt fungal pathogen Fusarium odoratissimum. We found that the deletion of FoSEC4 affects the activi...

description Apical secretion at hyphal tips is important for the growth and development of filamentous fungi. In this study, we analyzed the role of the Rab GTPases FoSec4 involved in the secretion of the banana wilt fungal pathogen Fusarium odoratissimum. We found that the deletion of FoSEC4 affects the activity of extracellular hydrolases and protein secretion, indicating that FoSec4 plays an important role in the regulation of protein secretion in F. odoratissimum. As a typical Rab GTPase, Sec4 participates in the Rab cycle through the conversion between the active GTP-bound state and the inactive GDP-bound state, which is regulated by guanine nucleate exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). We further found that FoSec2 can interact with dominant-negative FoSec4 (GDP-bound and nucleotide-free form, FoSec4DN), and that FoGyp5 can interact with dominant active FoSec4 (GTP-bound and constitutively active form, FoSec4CA). We evaluated the biofunctions of FoSec4, FoSec2 and FoGyp5, and found that FoSec4 is involved in the regulation of vegetative growth, reproduction, pathogenicity and the environmental stress response of F. odoratissimum, and that FocSec2 and FoGyp5 perform biofunctions consistent with FoSec4, indicating that FoSec2 and FoGyp5 may work as the GEF and the GAP, respectively, of FoSec4 in F. odoratissimum. We further found that the amino-terminal region and Sec2 domain are essential for the biological functions of FoSec2, while the carboxyl-terminal region and Tre-2/Bub2/Cdc16 (TBC) domain are essential for the biological functions of FoGyp5. In addition, FoSec4 mainly accumulated at the hyphal tips and partially colocalized with Spitzenkörper; however, FoGyp5 accumulated at the periphery of Spitzenkörper, suggesting that FoGyp5 may recognize and inactivate FoSec4 at a specific location in hyphal tips.
