Overexpression miR-486-3p Promoted by Allicin Enhances Temozolomide Sensitivity in Glioblastoma Via Targeting MGMT - Henggang Wu; Xu Li; Tiehui Zhang; Guojun Zhang; Jingnan Chen; Li Chen; Min He; Bilie Hao; Cheng Wang (NeuroMolecular Medicine, 2020)
Glioblastoma is the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system that develops chemotherapy resistance. Previous studies showed that Allicin could inhibit multiple cancer cells including glioblastoma, but the function of Allicin in glioblastoma is still unclear. Our work aimed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism. The results showed that miR-486-3p levels were greatly increased in glioblastoma during Allicin treatment. Overexpression of miR-486-3p increased chemosensitivity to temozolomide (TMZ) in vitro and in vivo. O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) was identified as a direct target of miR-486-3p, and miR-486-3p overexpression prevented the protein translation of MGMT. Moreover, overexpression of MGMT restored miR-486-3p-induced chemosensitivity to TMZ. Taken together, our studies revealed that Allicin could upregulate miR-486-3p and enhance TMZ sensitivity in glioblastoma. The results suggested that in the future, Allicin can be used as an adjuvant therapy with TMZ to improve the prognosis of patients, and miR-486-3p may be a potential target for glioblastoma treatment to improve the curative effects.

Cognitive Load of Exercise Influences Cognition and Neuroplasticity of Healthy Elderly: An Exploratory Investigation - Yi-Ping Chao; Changwei W. Wu; Li-Jung Lin; Cheng-Hung Lai; Hong-Yi Wu; Ai-Ling Hsu; Chiao-Nan Chen (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2020)
This study explored the effects of exercise with either high cognitive load or low cognitive load on cognitive performance and neuroplasticity in healthy elderly. Twenty-eight sedentary community-dwelling seniors participated in this study. Participants were assigned to one of three groups: the control group (C), low-cognitive load exercise group (LE), or high-cognitive load exercise group (HE). Individuals in both exercise groups engaged in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 4 months. Resting-state functional MRI and diffusion MRI were used to investigate the effects of intervention on functional and structural connectivity, respectively. Analysis of covariance with baseline, age and the education year as covariates was used to determine the effects of intervention. We found 4 months of exercise with high-cognitive load, but not exercise with low-cognitive load, improved the overall cognitive function of healthy elderly. Additionally, the HE group showed increased resting-state functional connectivity of superior frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate cortex and decreased functional connectivity of middle occipital gyrus and postcentral gyrus. The age-related alterations in local efficiency and betweenness were protected by exercise. Our findings might suggest that exercise with greater cognitive load likely results in greater training effects on cognition and brain connectivity than exercise requiring lower cognitive loads for healthy elderly.

Plastic pollution in croplands threatens long‐term food security - Dan Zhang; Ee Ling Ng; Wanli Hu; Hongyuan Wang; Pablo Galaviz; Hude Yang; Wentao Sun; Chongxiao Li; Xingwang Ma; Bin Fu; Peiyi Zhao; Fulin Zhang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Plastic pollution is a global concern given its prevalence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Studies have been conducted on the distribution and impact of plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, but little is known on terrestrial ecosystems. Plastic mulch has been widely used to increase crop yields worldwide, yet the impact of plastic residues in cropland soils to soil health and crop production in the long term remained unclear. In this paper, using a global meta‐analysis, we found that the use of plastic mulch can indeed increase crop yields on average by 25%–42% in the immediate season due to the increase of soil temperature (+8%) and moisture (+17%). However, the unabated accumulation of film residues in the field negatively impacts its physicochemical properties linked to healthy soil and threatens food production in the long term. It has multiple negative impacts on plant growth including crop yield (at the mean rate of −3% for every additional 100 kg/ha of film residue), plant height (−2%) and root weight (−5%), and soil properties including soil water evaporation capacity (−2%), soil water infiltration rate (−8%), soil organic matter (−0.8%) and soil available phosphorus (−5%) based on meta‐regression. Using a nationwide field survey of China, the largest user of plastic mulch worldwide, we found that plastic residue accumulation in cropland soils has reached 550,800 tonnes, with an estimated 6%–10% reduction in cotton yield in some polluted sites based on current level of plastic residue content. Immediate actions should be taken to ensure the recovery of plastic film mulch and limit further increase in film residue loading to maintain the sustainability of these croplands.

Time-resolved black carbon aerosol vertical distribution measurements using a 356-m meteorological tower in Shenzhen - Tianlin Sun; Cheng Wu; Dui Wu; Ben Liu; Jia Yin Sun; Xia Mao; Honglong Yang; Tao Deng; Lang Song; Mei Li; Yong Jie Li; Zhen Zhou (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2020)
Black carbon (BC) is an essential climate forcer in the atmosphere. Large uncertainties remain in BC’s radiative forcing estimation by models, partially due to the limited measurements of BC vertical distributions near the surface layer. We conducted time-resolved vertical profiling of BC using a 356-m meteorological tower in Shenzhen, China. Five micro-aethalometers were deployed at different heights (2, 50, 100, 200, and 350 m) to explore the temporal dynamics of BC vertical profile in the highly urbanized areas. During the observation period (December 6–15, 2017), the average equivalent BC (eBC) concentrations were 6.6 ± 3.6, 5.4 ± 3.3, 5.9 ± 2.8, 5.2 ± 1.8, and 4.9 ± 1.4 μg m −3 , from 2 to 350 m, respectively. eBC temporal variations at different heights were well correlated. eBC concentrations generally decreased with height. At all five heights, eBC diurnal variations exhibited a bimodal pattern, with peaks appearing at 09:00–10:00 and 19:00–21:00. The magnitudes of these diurnal peaks decreased with height, and the decrease was more pronounced for the evening peak. eBC episodes were largely initiated by low wind speeds, implying that wind speed played a key role in the observed eBC concentrations. eBC wind-rose analysis suggested that elevated eBC events at different heights originate from different directions, which suggested contributions from local primary emission plumes. Air masses from central China exhibited much higher eBC levels than the other three backward trajectory clusters found herein. The absorption Ångström exponent (AAE 375–880 ) showed clear diurnal variations at 350 m and increased slightly with height.

Potential Genes Related to Levofloxacin Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Based on Transcriptome and Methylome Overlap Analysis - Hai-cheng Li; Hui-xin Guo; Tao Chen; Wei Wang; Zhu-hua Wu; Liang Chen; Hui-zhong Wu; Gao-po Xu; Xun-xun Chen; Lin Zhou (Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2020)
Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ) has become an increasingly serious public health problem and has complicated tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Levofloxacin (LOF) is an ideal anti-tuberculosis drug in clinical applications. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms of LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis in TB treatment have not been revealed. Our study performed transcriptome and methylome sequencing to investigate the potential biological characteristics of LOF resistance in M. tuberculosis H37Rv. In the transcriptome analysis, 953 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified; 514 and 439 DEGs were significantly downregulated and upregulated in the LOF-resistant group and control group, respectively. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 97 pathways were enriched in this study. In the methylome analysis, 239 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were identified; 150 and 89 DMGs were hypomethylated and hypermethylated in the LOF-resistant group and control group, respectively. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 74 pathways were enriched in this study. The overlap study suggested that 25 genes were obtained. It was notable that nine genes expressed downregulated mRNA and upregulated methylated levels, including pgi , fadE4 , php , cyp132 , pckA , rpmB1 , pfkB , acg , and ctpF , especially cyp132 , pckA , and pfkB , which were vital in LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The overlapping genes between transcriptome and methylome could be essential for studying the molecular mechanisms of LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Rv. These results may provide informative evidence for TB treatment with LOF.

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation - Jing Fan; Jie Liu; Zhi‐You Gong; Pei‐Zhou Xu; Xiao‐Hong Hu; Jin‐Long Wu; Guo‐Bang Li; Juan Yang; Yu‐Qiu Wang; Yu‐Feng Zhou; Shuang‐Cheng Li; Li Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

The relationship among probabilistic, deterministic and potential skills in predicting the ENSO for the past 161 years - Ting Liu; Youmin Tang; Dejian Yang; Yanjie Cheng; Xunshu Song; Zhaolu Hou; Zheqi Shen; Yanqiu Gao; Yanling Wu; Xiaojing Li; Banglin Zhang (Climate Dynamics, 2019)
Here, we explored in depth the relationship among the deterministic prediction skill, the probabilistic prediction skill and the potential predictability. This was achieved by theoretical analyses and, in particular, by an analysis of long-term ensemble ENSO hindcast over 161 years from 1856 to 2016. First, a nonlinear monotonic relationship between the deterministic prediction skill and the probabilistic prediction skill, derived by theoretical analysis, was examined and validated using the ensemble hindcast. Further, the co-variability between the potential predictability and the deterministic prediction skill was explored in both perfect model assumption and actual model scenario. On these bases, we investigated the relationship between the potential predictability and probabilistic prediction skill from both the practice of ENSO forecast and theoretical perspective. The results of the study indicate that there are nonlinear monotonic relationships among these three kinds of measures. The potential predictability is considered to be a good indicator for the actual prediction skill in terms of both the deterministic measures and the probabilistic framework. The relationships identified here exhibit considerable significant practical sense to conduct predictability researches, which provide an inexpensive and moderate approach for inquiring prediction uncertainties without the requirement of costly ensemble experiments.

Multi‐model analysis of climate impacts on plant photosynthesis in China during 2000–2015 - Hao Yan; Shao‐Qiang Wang; Jun‐Bang Wang; Yun Cao; Ling‐Ling Xu; Men‐Xin Wu; Lu Cheng; Liu‐Xi Mao; Feng‐Hua Zhao; Xian‐Zhou Zhang; Yun‐Fen Liu; Yan‐Fen Wang; et al. (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Differences, arising from differences in gross primary production (GPP) model structures and driving forces, have fuelled arguments concerning interannual changes of GPP in China since 2000. To better investigate the interannual variability of GPP and its covariance with climate factors in China, this study adopted a multi‐model analysis based on three GPP models (i.e., Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon flux model [TEC], Breathing Earth System Simulator model [BESS], and MOD17 GPP model). The results show that annual GPP in China increased by 0.021–0.057 Pg C year −1 from 2000 to 2015 attributable to atmospheric‐CO 2 fertilization effects and favourable climate change, that is, increasing precipitation ( P r ) and temperature ( T a ). However, northern China and southern China had a large difference in the amplitude of these GPP changes; annual GPP increased by 0.017–0.039 Pg C year −1 in northern China but only 0.001–0.018 Pg C year −1 in southern China. Northern China and southern China occupy contrasting climate zones and this contrast produced different interannual variability of GPP through different mechanisms. Northern China has a dry climate with GPP changes sensitive to P r . As a result, more P r along with higher T a in northern China produced the strong uptrend of GPP from 2000 to 2015. In contrast, southern China has a wet climate with its GPP sensitive to solar radiation and T a . For the interval of 2000–2015, decreasing radiation plus drought exerted a negative influence on GPP in southern China. This study highlights the diverse mechanisms in which climate change affects GPP in dry and wet climate zones. A robust multi‐model analysis is preferred to reduce uncertainties arising from a single GPP model and its driving data.

Identification of a small RNA that directly controls the translation of the quorum sensing signal synthase gene rhlI in Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Ronghao Chen; Xueying Wei; Zhenpeng Li; Yuding Weng; Yushan Xia; WenRan Ren; Xiangxiang Wang; Yongxin Jin; Fang Bai; Zhihui Cheng; Shouguang Jin; Weihui Wu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa highly increases the bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents and host immune clearance. The biofilm formation is positively regulated by two small RNAs, RsmY and RsmZ. Previously, we reported that mutation in the polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) coding gene pnp increases the levels of RsmY/Z. However, in this study, we found that the biofilm formation is decreased in the pnp mutant, which is due to a defect in rhamnolipids production. The rhamnolipids production is regulated by the RhlI‐RhlR quorum sensing system. We found that PNPase influences the translation of RhlI through its 5′‐untranslated region (UTR) and identified that the sRNA P27 is responsible for the translational repression. In vitro translation experiments demonstrated that P27 directly represses the translation of the rhlI mRNA through its 5′UTR in an Hfq‐dependent manner. Point mutations in the rhlI 5′UTR or P27, which abolish the pairing between the two RNAs restore the rhlI expression and rhamnolipids production as well as the biofilm formation in the pnp mutant. Overall, our results reveal a novel layer of regulation of the Rhl quorum sensing system by the sRNA P27.

Quantitative reverse‐transcription (qRT)‐PCR assays revealed that fsrp‐3 messenger (m)RNA was differentially expressed among assayed tissues and was highly expressed in heart and intestine. fsrp‐3 mRNA exhibited increasing expression from the larval to the juvenile stage (500 g). To investigate the potential function of S. chuatsi fsrp‐3 in muscle growth, we constructed a Fsrp‐3 prokaryotic expression system and injected the purified Fsrp‐3 fusion protein into the dorsal muscle. Fsrp‐3 administration significantly influenced cross‐section area, satellite cell activation frequency and nuclear density of S. chuatsi muscle fibres. Following Fsrp‐3 treatment, the expression of myogenic regulatory factors was up‐regulated and decline in the expression of myostatin was observed. The study revealed that Fsrp‐3 may affect muscle growth by regulating myogenic regulatory factor expression and antagonizing myostatin function to initiate satellite cell activation and differentiation in S. chuatsi .

Development of Upwelling during the Sedimentary Period of the Organic-Rich Shales in the Wufeng and Longmaxi Formations of the Upper Yangtze Region and Its Impact on Organic Matter Enrichment - Shao-Ze Zhao; Yong Li; Hua-Jun Min; Tong Wang; Zhou Nie; Zhan-Zhao Zhao; Jia-Zhen Qi; Jin-Cheng Wang; Jia-Peng Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
This study uses logging data, mineral component content, total organic carbon (TOC) content, and microscopic characteristics of the organic-rich shales in the Wufeng and Longmaxi Formations, as well as data reported by other researchers, to demonstrate that upwelling has played an important role in the organic matter enrichment. The results show that (1) the organic-rich shales of Well N211 in the Upper Yangtze region are located in the Wufeng Formation and the lower Longmaxi Formation, with a burial depth between 2308–2357 m. (2) The organic-rich shales are enriched in biogenic silica. (3) Based on paleogeographic location and characteristics of organisms, this study determines that upwelling occurred during the deposition of the organic-rich shales in the Wufeng and Longmaxi Formations, promoting the enrichment of organic matter in the shales. (4) The upwelling intensity gradually increased from the sedimentary period of the organic-rich shales in the mid-lower Wufeng Formation to the sedimentary period of the Guanyinqiao Member, and then decreased gradually from the sedimentary period of the Guanyinqiao Member to the sedimentary period of the organic-rich shales in the Longmaxi Formation, and leads to the different enrichment of organic matter in the vertical direction. The different developments of upwelling led to the coexistence of both high and low TOC contents in the Guanyinqiao Member along the vertical direction.

A meta‐analysis of fertilizer‐induced soil NO and combined NO +N 2 O emissions - Shuwei Liu; Feng Lin; Shuang Wu; Cheng Ji; Yi Sun; Yaguo Jin; Shuqing Li; Zhaofu Li; Jianwen Zou (Global Change Biology, 2017)
Soils are among the important sources of atmospheric nitric oxide ( NO ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), acting as a critical role in atmospheric chemistry. Updated data derived from 114 peer‐reviewed publications with 520 field measurements were synthesized using meta‐analysis procedure to examine the N fertilizer‐induced soil NO and the combined NO +N 2 O emissions across global soils. Besides factors identified in earlier reviews, additional factors responsible for NO fluxes were fertilizer type, soil C/N ratio, crop residue incorporation, tillage, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, drought and biomass burning. When averaged across all measurements, soil NO ‐N fluxes were estimated to be 4.06 kg ha −1 yr −1 , with the greatest (9.75 kg ha −1 yr −1 ) in vegetable croplands and the lowest (0.11 kg ha −1 yr −1 ) in rice paddies. Soil NO emissions were more enhanced by synthetic N fertilizer (+38%), relative to organic (+20%) or mixed N (+18%) sources. Compared with synthetic N fertilizer alone, synthetic N fertilizer combined with nitrification inhibitors substantially reduced soil NO emissions by 81%. The global mean direct emission factors of N fertilizer for NO ( EF NO ) and combined NO +N 2 O ( EF c ) were estimated to be 1.16% and 2.58%, with 95% confidence intervals of 0.71–1.61% and 1.81–3.35%, respectively. Forests had the greatest EF NO (2.39%). Within the croplands, the EF NO (1.71%) and EF c (4.13%) were the greatest in vegetable cropping fields. Among different chemical N fertilizer varieties, ammonium nitrate had the greatest EF NO (2.93%) and EF c (5.97%). Some options such as organic instead of synthetic N fertilizer, decreasing N fertilizer input rate, nitrification inhibitor and low irrigation frequency could be adopted to mitigate soil NO emissions. More field measurements over multiyears are highly needed to minimize the estimate uncertainties and mitigate soil NO emissions, particularly in forests and vegetable croplands.

PST ha5a23, a candidate effector from the obligate biotrophic pathogen P uccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici , is involved in plant defense suppression and rust pathogenicity - Yulin Cheng; Kuan Wu; Juanni Yao; Shumin Li; Xiaojie Wang; Lili Huang; Zhensheng Kang (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary During the infection of host plants, pathogens can deliver virulence‐associated ‘effector’ proteins to promote plant susceptibility. However, little is known about effector function in the obligate biotrophic pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst ) that is an important fungal pathogen in wheat production worldwide. Here, they report their findings on an in planta highly induced candidate effector from Pst , PSTha5a23. The PSTha5a23 gene is unique to Pst and shows a low level of intra‐species polymorphism. It has a functional N‐terminal signal peptide and is translocated to the host cytoplasm after infection. Overexpression of PSTha5a23 in Nicotiana benthamiana was found to suppress the programmed cell death triggered by BAX, PAMP‐INF1 and two resistance‐related mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MKK1 and NPK1). Overexpression of PSTha5a23 in wheat also suppressed pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI)‐associated callose deposition. In addition, silencing of PSTha5a23 did not change Pst virulence phenotypes; however, overexpression of PSTha5a23 significantly enhanced Pst virulence in wheat. These results indicate that the Pst candidate effector PSTha5a23 plays an important role in plant defense suppression and rust pathogenicity, and also highlight the utility of gene overexpression in plants as a tool for studying effectors from obligate biotrophic pathogens.

Biogeographical diversification of mainland Asian Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) and its implications for the historical dynamics of evergreen broad‐leaved forests - Xiao‐Guo Xiang; Xiang‐Cheng Mi; Hai‐Lang Zhou; Jian‐Wu Li; Shih‐Wen Chung; De‐Zhu Li; Wei‐Chang Huang; Wei‐Tao Jin; Zhen‐Yu Li; Lu‐Qi Huang; Xiao‐Hua Jin (Journal of Biogeography, 2016)
Aim Evergreen broad‐leaved forests ( EBLF s) occupy most tropical and subtropical regions of mainland Asia and exhibit high species diversity, productivity and richness. Understanding the historical dynamics of EBLF s is important for biodiversity conservation and regional carbon storage and cycling under global climate change. However, little is known about the historical dynamics of EBLF s in mainland Asia. Dendrobium , an epiphytic orchid genus found in EBLF s, was used to gain new insights of the historical establishment and extension of EBLF s in mainland Asia. Location Mainland Asia. Methods We sampled c . 80% of the currently recognized species of Dendrobium found in mainland Asia. A phylogeny was generated using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods. A calibrated chronogram was obtained using a Bayesian relaxed‐clock model approach. Biogeographical scenarios were investigated using the statistical dispersal–vicariance analysis and dispersal–extinction–cladogenesis methods. Ancestral states were constructed by mesquite and bayestraits , and diversification of Dendrobium was investigated by APE and LASER packages. Results Our results indicate that Asian Dendrobium was present on mainland Asia since the Oligocene, after which this genus diversified in this region and dispersed into higher elevations. The ancestral habit of Dendrobium was epiphytic and terrestrial and lithophytic habits each have multiple, recently independent origins. Main conclusions Our results support the hypothesis that EBLF s have been established in mainland Asia at least since the Oligocene and further suggest that the EBLF s of mainland Asia expanded into higher elevations prior to the late Cenozoic. The diversification of Asian Dendrobium coincided with a warmer climate during the late Oligocene and middle Miocene and the expansion of key groups (including Fagaceae, Lauraceae, Magnoliaceae and Theaceae) of EBLF s during the early Cenozoic.

Allopolyploidization plays the special role in the evolution of many crops. Moreover, the evolution in early stage of some allopolyploidization events is predicted to be effected by nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions. Maize and teosintes are well model system for study of genetic recombination in allopolyploidization. In order to investigate the effects of genome organization and cytoplasm on genome evolution in newly synthesized allopolyploids (neoallopolyploids), a series of neoallopolyploids were produced by reciprocal crosses of maize and Zea perennis . By using dual-color genomic in situ hybridization, intra- and intergenomic meiosis pairing of these polyploids were quantified and compared with regard to its genome organization and cytoplasm background. In the four neoallopolyploids, the stability of maize genome is consistently lower than that of Z. perennis genome. Additional, the stability of maize genome is affected by genome ploidy. The cytoplasm, genome composition and their interaction do have the special role in chromosome paring and the meiosis behaviors in Zea allopolyploids vary significantly and showed non-diploidization. Z. perennis cytoplasm may give a relatively relaxed environment for maize genome.

CmpacC regulates mycoparasitism, oxalate degradation and antifungal activity in the mycoparasitic fungus C oniothyrium minitans - Yi Lou; Yongchao Han; Long Yang; Mingde Wu; Jing Zhang; Jiasen Cheng; Moying Wang; Daohong Jiang; Weidong Chen; Guoqing Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary The PacC /Rim101 pH ‐responsive transcription factor is an important pathogenicity element for many plant‐pathogenic fungi. In this study, we investigated the roles of a PacC homologue, CmpacC , in the mycoparasitic fungus C oniothyrium minitans . CmpacC was confirmed to have the transcriptional activation activity by the transcriptional activation test in S accharomyces cerevisiae . Disruption of CmpacC resulted in impaired fungal responses to ambient pH . Compared to the wild‐type, the CmpacC ‐disruption mutant Δ CmpacC ‐29 was significantly suppressed for activities of chitinase and β‐1,3‐glucanase at pH 5 and 7, consistent with reduced expression levels of Cmch1 and Cmg1 coding for the two enzymes respectively. However, the mutant displayed acidity‐mimicking phenotypes such as improved oxalate degradation and increased antifungal activity at pH 6 or higher. Improved efficacy in oxalate degradation by Δ CmpacC ‐29 was consistent with the enhanced expression level of Cmoxdc1 coding for oxalate decarboxylase. CmpacC transcriptional activation of Cmch1 and Cmg1 and repression of Cmoxdc1 were verified by the presence of the PacC /Rim101 consensus binding‐motifs in gene promoter regions and by the promoter DNA ‐binding assays. This study suggests that CmpacC plays an activator role in regulation of C . minitans mycoparasitism, whereas plays a repressor role in regulation of oxalate degradation and possibly antifungal activity of C . minitans .
