Photomorphogenesis in the hypogeous fungus Tuber borchii: isolation and characterization of Tbwc-1, the homologue of the blue-light photoreceptor of Neurospora crassa

Truffles form a group of plant–symbiotic Ascomycetes whose hypogeous life cycle is poorly understood. Here we present initial evidence for the influence of light on Tuber borchii mycelial growth and the identification and cloning of a gene, Tbwc-1, homologous to a blue-light photoreceptor of Neurosp...

description Truffles form a group of plant–symbiotic Ascomycetes whose hypogeous life cycle is poorly understood. Here we present initial evidence for the influence of light on Tuber borchii mycelial growth and the identification and cloning of a gene, Tbwc-1, homologous to a blue-light photoreceptor of Neurospora crassa. Blue-light irradiation of T. borchii colonies inhibits their apical growth. It also alters apical growth in N. crassa. In Neurospora, the response is controlled by a nuclear photoreceptor, NcWC-1 (White Collar-1), which consists of a sensor domain (LOV) and a transcriptional factor moiety. We isolated a gene ( Tbwc-1) whose deduced amino acid sequence shows a high similarity and colinearity of domains with NcWC-1, except for the polyglutamine regions. As previously found in Neurospora, Tbwc-1 mRNA is under light control and its steady state level increases upon irradiation. In silico analysis of the TbWC-1 sensor domain (LOV) supports the hypothesis that TbWC-1 is a photoreceptor, while the absence of the two polyglutamine regions involved in transcriptional activation in Neurospora suggests that this function in Tuber could be lost.
