Popis: Abstract The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (TF) is widespread among eukaryotes and serves different roles in fungal processes including nutrient utilization, growth, stress responses and development. The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is an important and widely cultivated edible mushroom worldwide; nevertheless, reports are lacking on the identification or function of bZIP gene family members in P. ostreatus. Herein, 11 bZIPs on 6 P. ostreatus chromosomes were systematically identified, which were classified into 3 types according to their protein sequences. Phylogenetic analysis of PobZIPs with other fungal bZIPs indicated that PobZIPs may have differentiated late. Cis‐regulatory element analysis revealed that at least one type of stress‐response‐related element was present on each bZIP promoter. RNA‐seq and RT‐qPCR analyses revealed that bZIP expression patterns were altered under heat stress and different developmental stages. We combined results from GST‐Pull‐down, EMSA and yeast two‐hybrid assays to screen a key heat stress‐responsive candidate gene PobZIP3. PobZIP3 overexpression in P. ostreatus enhanced tolerance to high temperature and cultivation assays revealed that PobZIP3 positively regulates the development of P. ostreatus. RNA‐seq analysis showed that PobZIP3 plays a role in glucose metabolism pathways, antioxidant enzyme activity and sexual reproduction. These results may support future functional studies of oyster mushroom bZIP TFs.
