Antioxidant‐related catalase CTA1 regulates development, aflatoxin biosynthesis, and virulence in pathogenic fungus Aspergillus flavus - Zhuo Zhu; Mingkun Yang; Youhuang Bai; Feng Ge; Shihua Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce the synthesis of a myriad of secondary metabolites, including aflatoxins. It raises significant concern as it is a potent environmental contaminant. In Aspergillus flavus ., antioxidant enzymes link ROS stress response with coordinated gene regulation of aflatoxin biosynthesis. In this study, we characterized the function of a core component of the antioxidant enzyme catalase (CTA1) of A . flavus . Firstly, we verified the presence of cta1 corresponding protein (CTA1) by Western blot analysis and mass‐spectrometry based analysis. Then, the functional study revealed that the growth, sporulation and sclerotia formation significantly increased, while aflatoxins production and virulence were decreased in the cta1 deletion mutant as compared with the WT and complementary strains. Furthermore, the absence of the cta1 gene resulted in a significant rise in the intracellular ROS level, which in turn added to the oxidative stress level of cells. A further quantitative proteomics investigation hinted that in vivo , CTA1 might maintain the ROS level to facilitate the aflatoxin synthesis. All in all, the pleiotropic phenotype of A . flavus CTA1 deletion mutant revealed that the antioxidant system plays a crucial role in fungal development, aflatoxins biosynthesis and virulence.

Assessment of ECMWF reanalysis data in complex terrain: Can the CERA‐20C and ERA‐Interim data sets replicate the variation in surface air temperatures over Sichuan, China? - Haolin Luo; Fei Ge; Kangquan Yang; Shoupeng Zhu; Ting Peng; Wenyue Cai; Xiaoran Liu; Weiwei Tang (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Surface air temperatures (SATs) derived from the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA‐Interim and CERA‐20C reanalysis data sets are compared with data from 43 observation stations in Sichuan for 1979–2010. The results show (a) the temperatures from the ERA‐Interim and CERA‐20C data sets are strongly correlated with those from the observation stations, although significant cold biases are seen on both annual and seasonal timescales. (b) The biases in SATs are predominately influenced by the differences between the actual topography and the topography used in the reanalysis models. Larger differences in temperature are observed in the plateau and mountainous regions of Sichuan. We confirmed larger SAT biases at high altitudes by categorizing the elevation into four bands, each with a spacing of 1,000 m. (c) We reduced the biases resulting from elevation by using an elevation correction method with internal lapse rates derived from different reanalysis pressure levels. The annual mean bias was reduced from −2.86 to −0.75°C for the ERA‐Interim data set and from −5.27 to −2.21°C for the CERA‐20C data set. After calibration, the correlation coefficients between the difference in SAT (observed minus reanalysis data) and the difference in elevation (station elevation minus model elevation) decreased from −0.97 and −0.91 to −0.29 and −0.30 for the ERA‐Interim and CERA‐20C data sets, respectively. These significant differences should not be ignored in the application of reanalysis data sets to climate research. The evaluation and calibration of reanalysis data sets are essential before making assessments of regional climate change, especially over regions with complex topography.

Lysine acetylation contributes to development, aflatoxin biosynthesis and pathogenicity in Aspergillus flavus - Guang Yang; Yuewei Yue; Silin Ren; Mingkun Yang; Yi Zhang; Xiaohong Cao; Yinchun Wang; Jia Zhang; Feng Ge; Shihua Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Aspergillus flavus is a pathogenic fungus that produces carcinogenic aflatoxins, posing a great threat to crops, animals and humans. Lysine acetylation is one of the most important reversible post‐translational modifications and plays a vital regulatory role in various cellular processes. However, current information on the extent and function of lysine acetylation and aflatoxin biosynthesis in A. flavus is limited. Here, a global acetylome analysis of A. flavus was performed by peptide pre‐fractionation, pan‐acetylation antibody enrichment and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. A total of 1313 high‐confidence acetylation sites in 727 acetylated proteins were identified in A. flavus . These acetylation proteins are widely involved in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway, citric acid cycle and aflatoxin biosynthesis. AflO ( O ‐methyltransferase), a key enzyme in aflatoxin biosynthesis, was found to be acetylated at K241 and K384. Deletion of aflO not only impaired conidial and sclerotial developments, but also dramatically suppressed aflatoxin production and pathogenicity of A. flavus . Further site‐specific mutations showed that lysine acetylation of AflO could also result in defects in development, aflatoxin production and pathogenicity, suggesting that acetylation plays a vital role in the regulation of the enzymatic activity of AflO in A. flavus . Our findings provide evidence for the involvement of lysine acetylation in various biological processes in A. flavus and facilitating in the elucidation of metabolic networks.

Phylogeny and taxonomic reassessment of jerboa, Dipus (Rodentia, Dipodinae), in inland Asia - Jilong Cheng; Deyan Ge; Lin Xia; Zhixin Wen; Qian Zhang; Liang Lu; Qisen Yang (Zoologica Scripta, 2018)
Deserts and arid regions are perceived to have low biological and genetic diversity, which has partially influenced the identification of psammophilic species, especially taxonomic inferences based on morphology alone. Recent studies of Dipus sagitta have revealed clear, deep genetic divergence beyond the species level within this monotypic genus. To clarify the taxonomy of Dipus , we examined a morphometric dataset consisting of 191 voucher specimens covering nearly the entire distribution of the genus to explore skull variation using traditional morphological measurements and geometric morphometric analysis. Phylogenetic relationships within Dipus using two mitochondrial genes ( n = 383) and six nuclear genes ( n = 106) were assessed by Bayesian inference and maximum‐likelihood procedures. We used a “candidate species approach” with the divergent mt DNA phylogenetic groups and subspecies identified in previous studies as the starting point and analysed the candidates using five species delimitation methods and two validation methods. Our findings indicate that Dipus can be divided into four phylogenetic groups that include two species: the Deasyi group ( D. deasyi ), Sagitta group, Sowerbyi group and Turanicus group ( D. sagitta ). According to the morphological analyses and the examined specimens, pelage colour varies significantly with season and age, making it unsuitable as a diagnostic characteristic of the subspecies. Furthermore, measurements of body size and skull size require a large number of specimens to reach statistical significance and obtain reliable results. Geographical distributions should be considered first when identifying species or subspecies due to the disjunct habitats of Dipus . Our molecular analyses revealed the long‐neglected potential diversity in arid regions and improved the efficiency of species/subspecies identification. We also found that individuals from more humid areas or higher altitudes were larger, whereas individuals from drier areas possessed longer appendages and larger tympanic bulla.

Greenberg; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2017)
Biological invasions that involve well‐documented rapid adaptations to new environments provide unequalled opportunities for testing evolutionary hypotheses. Mikania micrantha Kunth (Asteraceae), a perennial herbaceous vine native to tropical Central and South America, successfully invaded tropical Asia in the early 20th century. It is regarded as one of the most aggressive weeds in the world. To elucidate the molecular and evolutionary processes underlying this invasion, we extensively sampled this weed throughout its invaded range in South‐East and South Asia and surveyed its genetic structure using variants detected from population transcriptomics. Clustering results suggest that more than one source population contributed to this invasion. Computer simulations using genomewide genetic variation support a scenario of admixture and founder events during invasion. The genes differentially expressed between native and invasive populations were found to be involved in oxidative and high light intensity stress responses, pointing to a possible ecological mechanism of adaptation. Our results provide a foundation for further detailed mechanistic and population studies of this ecologically and economically important invasion. This line of research promises to provide new mitigation strategies for invasive species as well as insights into mechanisms of adaptation.

Multiscale partitioning of small mammal β‐diversity provides novel insights into the Quaternary faunal history of Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and Hengduan Mountains - Zhixin Wen; Qisen Yang; Qing Quan; Lin Xia; Deyan Ge; Xue Lv (Journal of Biogeography, 2016)
Aim To assess the validity of four hypothesized drivers (Quaternary climate, niche conservatism, contemporary climate, spatial configuration) of small mammal beta diversity in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau ( QTP ) and the Hengduan Mountains ( HDM ). Location QTP and HDM of China. Methods We partitioned the beta diversity of small mammals in QTP and HDM into the spatial turnover and nestedness components at the regional (longitudinal/latitudinal zones) and grid (1° × 1°) scales. Regional beta diversity was evaluated by calculating the multiple‐site dissimilarities and the distance‐dissimilarity relationships. We examined the relative effects of geographical distance, environmental difference, habitat diversity, geographical isolation and Quaternary climate stability on the beta diversity patterns. Results The overall beta diversity in all longitudinal/latitudinal zones of both regions was primarily driven by spatial turnover, longitudinal nestedness patterns were almost non‐existent in QTP . Turnover was stronger in the latitudinal direction of QTP and in the longitudinal direction of HDM , which corresponded to the general topography of each region. At the grid scale, higher turnover was primarily concentrated in mountainous areas. Turnover was highly correlated with geographical distance and environmental difference in both regions, and geographical isolation was another strong predictor of turnover in HDM . Habitat diversity independently explained most of the variation in nestedness of HDM . Main conclusions Spatial turnover is the primary cause of the small mammal beta diversity in QTP and HDM . Three non‐exclusive mechanisms including the historic effect of past glaciation, contemporary climate and spatial configuration of the landscape might act in combination to shape the beta diversity patterns in QTP and HDM , particularly the directional patterns. Our results challenge the prevailing view that the current distribution of QTP fauna is primarily explained by westward post‐glacial recolonization, and support the alternative idea that QTP retained considerable refugia and even centres of origin during the Quaternary glaciations.

Molecular phylogeny and the underestimated species diversity of the endemic white‐bellied rat (Rodentia: Muridae: Niviventer ) in Southeast Asia and China - Liang Lu; Deyan Ge; Douglas Chesters; Simon Y. W. Ho; Ying Ma; Guichang Li; Zhixin Wen; Yongjie Wu; Jun Wang; Lin Xia; Jingli Liu; Tianyu Guo; et al. (Zoologica Scripta, 2015)
The white‐bellied rat, Niviventer , is a genus endemic to Southeast Asia and China. However, the interspecific phylogenetic relationships and species diversity of this genus remain poorly understood. In the present study, single and multi‐locus analyses were performed. Phylogenetic reconstruction on Cytochrome b (512 individuals, including data from Genbank) revealed five major clades with approximately 35 operational taxonomic units ( OTU s), a number twice the existing taxonomy. The first clade ( N . langbianis species group) was the earliest diverged. The second clade ( N. fulvescens species group) diverged in Southeast Asia, the south and lower altitude regions of the Hengduan Mountains, and Southeast China. The third clade (the N. eha species group) is endemic to high altitudes in Northwest Yunnan and the central region of Himalaya. The fourth clade (the N. andersoni species group), is mainly confined to alpine regions of the Hengduan Mountains. The fifth clade ( N . confucianus species group) is mainly distributed in the north and higher altitude regions of eastern Himalaya, the Hengduan Mountains and Taiwan, with the complex also invading central and northern China. Results from the combined dataset of four genes (Cytochrome b, Cytochrome oxidase subunit I, the D‐loop sequence of the mitochondrial genome and the first exon of the nuclear interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein) for 82 representative individuals from China generally coincide with the result of the single gene, with 12 OTU s identified. These results provide a preliminary framework for the existing classification of this highly diversified genus. The divergence time of Niviventer based on the four gene topology was dated to the late Miocene ~6.41 Ma. Significant differences were detected in the general body form changes among these units based on voucher specimens. Moreover, geometric morphometric analysis of the cranium shape of voucher specimens indicated significant differences among five major species groups. Shape divergence of the cranium among several OTU s within the N. confucinaus complex is also significant. Our results provide further evidence for rapid and highly underestimated diversification of Niviventer both in genetics and morphology.
