Genome-wide effect of carbon catabolic repressor 1 (Cre1) on genomic expression of Beauveria bassiana
Purpose: This transcriptomic analysis aims at unveiling all possible genes orchestrated by Cre1, which is evidently required for insect pathogenicity and virulence-related cellular events of Beauveria bassiana. Methods: Total RNAs were extracted from three 3-day-old hyphal cultures (replicates) of cre1 deletion and wild-type strains grown under normal culture conditionsand and subjected to deep sequencing on Illumina NovaseqTM 6000 platform. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped to the genome of Beauveria bassiana. All genes differentially expressed in the deletion mutant versus the wild-type strain were enriched to GO function classes and KEGG pathways. Results: The resultant transcriptome comprises 10364 genes annotated or not annotated. Among those, 1881 genes (genomic 18.149%) were dysregulated in the absence of cre1, including 1117 down-regulated and 764 up-regulated. Conclusions: Cre1 has profound impact on the genomic expression of Beauveria bassiana. Overall design: RNA profiles from 3-day-old hyphal cultures of the cre1 deletion and wild-type strains.
