Regular ArticlesVital role for cyclophilin B (CypB) in asexual development, dimorphic transition and virulence of Beauveria bassiana
چکیده انگلیسی


- CypB is localized on hyphal cell periphery and septa of Beauveria bassiana.
- CypB is required for B. bassiana growth, conidiation and dimorphic transition.
- CypB contributes significantly to B. bassiana virulence via normal infection.
- CypB is essential for the in vitro and in vivo asexual cycles of B. bassiana.

Cyclophilin B (CypB) was previously revealed as one of many putative secretory proteins in the transcriptome of Beauveria bassiana infection to a lepidopteran pest. Here we show a main localization of CypB in hyphal cell walls and septa and its essential role in the in vitro and in vivo asexual cycles of the fungal insect pathogen. Deletion of cypB reduced colony growth by 16-42% on two rich media and 30 scant media with different carbon or nitrogen sources. The deletion mutant suffered a delayed conidiation on a standard medium and a final 47% reduction in conidial yield, accompanied with drastic transcript depression of several key genes required for conidiation and conidial maturation. The mutant conidia required 10 h longer to germinate 50% at optimal 25 °C than wild-type conidia. Intriguingly, cultivation of the mutant conidia in a trehalose-peptone broth mimic to insect hemolymph resulted in 83% reduction in blastospore yield but only slight decrease in biomass level, indicating severe defects in transition of hyphae to blastospores. LT50 for the deletion mutant against Galleria mellonella larvae through normal cuticle infection was prolonged to 7.4 d from a wild-type estimate of 4.7 d. During colony growth, additionally, the deletion mutant displayed hypersensitivity to Congo red, menadione, H2O2 and heat shock but increased tolerance to cyclosporine A and rapamycin. All of changes were restored by targeted gene complementation. Altogether, CypB takes part in sustaining normal growth, aerial conidiation, conidial germination, dimorphic transition, stress tolerance and pathogenicity in B. bassiana.
