摘要: Coniothyrium minitans is an important mycoparasite of the notorious phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The mycoparasitism system of C. minitans-S. sclerotiorum is unique and important in probing fungi and fungal interactions. Here, we report a conidiation-deficient mutant, ZS-1TN1961, which was screened from a transfer DNA (T-DNA) insertional library of C. minitans. A single-copy gene, encoding a protein with high sequence similarity to Aim24 (altered inheritance of mitochondria protein 24) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was disrupted by T-DNA insertion in this mutant. Gene replacement and complementation experiments confirmed that mutants lacking CmAim24 exhibited significantly reduced conidial production and germination as well as reduced sclerotial mycoparasitic ability. Furthermore, cellular localization assays showed that CmAim24 localized to mitochondria, and abnormal mitochondria were observed in the.CmAim24 mutant. The Delta CmAim24 mutant exhibited significant accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a reduced ATP content in mycelia. In summary, our results suggest that CmAim24 plays a key role in mitochondrial architecture and function, conidiogenesis, and mycoparasitism in C. minitans. IMPORTANCE Aim24 proteins are involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and accumulate between the two membranes of a mitochondrion. Their function in prokaryotes and filamentous fungi is as yet unknown. In the present study, we characterized an Aim24 protein, CmAim24, in the mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans and proved its critical role in mitochondrial morphology and function, conidiogenesis, conidial germination, and mycoparasitism to S. sclerotiorum.
