| Popis: | Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a hemibiotrophic ascomycete fungus that causes anthracnose on numerous plants worldwide and forms a specialized infection structure known as an appressorium in response to various plant surface signals. However, the associated mechanism of host surface signal recognition remains unclear. In the present study, three putative sensors, namely the mucin Msb2, the membrane sensor protein Sho1, and the G‐protein‐coupled receptor Pth11, were identified and characterized. The results showed that CgMsb2 plays a major role in the recognition of various host surface signals; deletion of CgMsb2 resulted in significant defects in appressorium formation, appressorium penetration, cellophane membrane penetration, and pathogenicity. CgSho1 plays a minor role and together with CgMsb2 cooperatively regulates host signal recognition, cellophane membrane penetration, and pathogenicity; deletion of CgSho1 resulted in an expansion defect of infection hyphae. Deletion of CgPth11 in wildtype, ΔCgMsb2, and ΔCgSho1 strains only resulted in a slight defect in appressorium formation at the early stage, and CgPth11 was dispensable for penetration and pathogenicity. However, exogenous cAMP failed to restore the defect of appressorium formation in ΔCgPth11 at the early stage. CgMsb2 contributed to the phosphorylation of the mitogen‐activated protein kinase CgMk1, which is essential for infection‐associated functions, while CgSho1 was unable to activate CgMk1 alone but rather cooperated with CgMsb2 to activate CgMk1. These data suggest that CgMsb2 contributes to the activation of CgMk1 and has overlapping functions with CgSho1 in plant surface sensing, appressorium formation, and pathogenicity. The sensor protein CgMsb2 contributes to the activation of CgMk1 and has overlapping functions with CgSho1 in plant surface sensing, appressorium formation, and pathogenicity. |
