Abstract

AbstractConidiation is an important reproductive process in Aspergillus. We previously reported, in A. nidulans, that the deletion of a putative glycosyltransferase gene, rseA/cpsA, causes an increase in the production of extracellular hydrolases and a severe reduction in conidiation. The aim of this study was to obtain novel genetic factors involved in the repression of conidiation in the rseA deletion mutant. We isolated mutants in which the rseA deletion mutant conidiation defect is suppressed and performed a comparative genomic analysis of these mutants. A gene encoding a putative transcription factor was identified as the associated candidate causative gene. The candidate gene was designated as srdA (suppressor gene for the conidiation defect of the rseAdeletion mutant). The conidiation efficiency of the rseAsrdA double-deletion mutant was increased. Introduction of wild-type srdA into the suppressor mutants caused a conidiation defect similar to that of the rseA deletion mutant. Notably, the conidiation efficiencies of the rseAsrdA double-deletion and srdA single-deletion mutants were higher than that of the wild-type strain. These results indicate that srdA is a novel genetic factor that strongly represses conidiation of the rseA deletion mutant, and a putative transcriptional regulator, SrdA is a negative regulator of conidiation in A. nidulans.
