Abstract
AbstractAimsIn this study, Mrhst4, encoding a member of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase (HDAC), was deleted to evaluate its regulation on the production of Monascus azaphilone pigments (MonAzPs) and mycotoxin, as well as the developmental process in Monascusruber.Methods and resultsAgrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation was applied in this study to generate the Mrhst4 null strain. Mrhst4-deleted strain did not display obvious differences in the sexual and asexual reproduction, colonial morphology, and micro-morphology. UV–Vis scan and UPLC detection showed that disruption of Mrhst4 significantly increased the MonAzPs yields, and citrinin content was dramatically enhanced during the tested period. RT-qPCR results showed that the absence of Mrhst4 significantly increased the relative expression of citrinin biosynthetic pathway genes including pksCT, mrl1, mrl2, mrl4, mrl6, and mrl7. The Western blot assay suggested that deletion of Mrhst4 could significantly elevate the acetylation levels of H3K4, H3K9, H3K18, H3K56, and H4K12, but attenuated the lysine acetylation modification of H4Pan, H4K8, and H4K16.ConclusionMrHst4 is an important regulator involved in secondary metabolism in Monascus ruber. In particular, MrHst4 plays a pivotal role in regulation of citrinin production.
