during fungal infections of leaves

2. INTRODUCTION
• Nutrient - Any chemical substance required for metabolism or
development.
• Nutrient Acquisition - uptaking of nutrients from its own
host.

3. • Biotrophs - need living tissue to survive.
Ex: Rusts, Powdery mildews, Downy mildews.
• Necrotrophs - kill the host to acquire nutrients.
Ex: Leaf spots etc.,
• Hemibiotrophs - both biotrophic and
necrotrophic phase.
Ex: Magnaporthe oryzae,
Colletotrichum sps etc.,

• Genomes of the obligate biotrophs are reduced for genes encoding
proteins involved in primary metabolism, nitrogen assimilation,
carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZys), cell wall degrading enzymes
(CWDEs) etc.,
whereas, necrotrophs carry genes for assimilating nitrate and also
encode for putative plant cell wall degrading enzymes.

7. Metabolic regulation at genetic
level
• All pathogenic lifestyles involve in nitrogen and carbon
acquisition and assimilation from the host.
• Global regulators – Ensure the preferential utilization of
nutrients rather than less preferable sources.
• Pathway-specific regulators – Ensure that genes of a required
catabolic pathway are only expressed in the presence of the
appropriate inducer.
• Ex: For M. oryzae the preferred carbon and nitrogen sources
are glucose and ammonia respectively.

8. • Different genetic regulators of foliar pathogens are as
follows:
➢ Global nitrogen regulators
➢ Pathway-specific nitrogen regulators
➢ Global carbon regulators
➢ Pathway-specific carbon regulators

Fernandez et al., 2014
9. Global nitrogen regulators
• Global nitrogen metabolism is regulated by wide domain,
positive acting GATA-family transcription factors like
AreA of Aspergillus nidulans and
Nit2 of Neurospora crassa
which ensure the utilization
of NH4
+ & L-glutamine over
less favourable nitrogen
compounds.

Siddu lakshmi Prasanna, PALB 7314
Fernandez et al., 2014
10. • AreA / Nit2 is required for the expression of genes required for
alternative nitrogen source utilization.
• A. nidulans areA mutant strains can use only ammonium or L-
glutamine as sole nitrogen sources.
• Orthologous AreA/Nit2 encoding genes have been identified in
the genomes of biotrophic, necrotrophic, and hemibiotrophic
fungal groups.
• Ex: Cladosporium fulvum - Nrf1
Ustilago maydis - Nit2
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum - Clnr1
Magnaporthe oryzae - Nut1

11. Pathway specific nitrogen regulators
9/12/2022 11
Siddu lakshmi Prasanna, PALB 7314
• Ex:
In M. oryzae the NIRA/NIT4
ortholog NIR1, encodes a
pathway specific activator
required for growth on
nitrate and nitrite which is
dispensable for pathogenicity.
Fernandez et al., 2014
12. The Target of Rapamycin (TOR)
Pathway
• TOR pathway activated mainly during sufficient nutrient
conditions.
• Inhibition of TOR by rapamycin or nutrient starvation causes
a nutrient stress response resulting
in translation initiation inhibition,
cell cycle arrest, autophagy.
• Hence, TOR is a master
regulator of the switch from
catabolism to anabolism.

Fernandez et al., 2014
13. • Ex: In yeast Mig1 is a phosphorylation target of Snf1 & a
DNA binding protein which
negatively regulates glucose
repressed genes.
• In filamentous fungi, CreA shares
some sequence similarity with
Mig1.

Global carbon regulators
Fernandez et al., 2014
14. Pathway-specific carbon regulators
• Ex: In M.oryzae Xlr1 is a Zn(2)-Cys(6) zinc finger
transcription factor which controls the expression of xylose
catabolizing genes during growth on D-xylose.
• Loss of Xlr1 function restricted growth on xylose-containing
media, but the utilization of xylan, a sugar present in plant cell
walls, was not affected.
• This suggests that, unlike some other fungi, M. oryzae has
separate control systems for xylose and xylan degradation.
• As a consequence, Xlr1 strains were not affected in
pathogenicity on rice or barley, and xylose metabolism is not
an important metabolic pathway in the host.

15. Integrating Carbon & Nitrogen
Metabolism
• Ex: Both carbon and nitrogen metabolism in TPS1 dependent
manner in M. oryzae.
• Two pathogenicity genes SPM1- serine protease,
PTH11 –plasma membrane protein
which are under the control of
Nut1 and expressed in response
to glucose regardless of
nitrogen source.

17. Hypothesis: Nitrogen regulated processes might also contribute to the
colonization of rice cells by M. oryzae.
Objective: To determine the effect of NMO2 gene for tolerating
against nitrooxidative stress response, nitrate utilization, development
of rice blast disease and to suppress the cell defences.
