Popis: The cAMP-PKA pathway is critical for regulating growth, differentiation, and pathogenesis in fungal pathogens. In Fusarium graminearum, mutants deleted of PKR regulatory-subunit of PKA had severe defects but often produced spontaneous suppressors. In this study eleven pkr suppressors were found to have mutations in FgSNT1, a component of the Set3C histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex, that result in the truncation of its C-terminal region. Targeted deletion of the C-terminal 98 aa (CT98) in FgSNT1 suppressed the defects of pkr in growth and H4 acetylation. CT98 truncation also increased the interaction of FgSnt1 with Hdf1, a major HDAC in the Set3 complex. The pkr mutant had no detectable expression of the Cpk1 catalytic subunit and PKA activities, which was not suppressed by mutations in FgSNT1. Cpk1 directly interacted with the N-terminal region of FgSnt1 and phosphorylated it at S443, a conserved PKA-phosphorylation site. CT98 of FgSnt1 carrying the S443D mutation interacted with its own N-terminal region. Expression of FgSNT1S443D rescued the defects of pkr in growth and H4 acetylation. Therefore, phosphorylation at S443 and suppressor mutations may relieve self-inhibitory binding of FgSnt1 and increase its interaction with Hdf1 and H4 acetylation, indicating a key role of FgSnt1 in crosstalk between cAMP signaling and Set3 complex.
