For alkaloid extraction and determination, the pH of cultures was adjusted to 11 with concentrated aqueous ammonium hydroxide, the cultures were extracted three times with chloroform, and, after concentration, the resulting liquid was applied to thin-layer chromatography TLC plates Silica Gel 60; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany.
Alkaloids were identified by comparison with corresponding standards. The EA standards used were those described above. Separation was performed on a Luna 5m C 18 2 column A; by 4. The EAS cluster sequence of C. A clone cosmid Cf26E11 of the homologous genomic region in C. We sequenced this cosmid and obtained a Corresponding to the orientation of the C. The corresponding location of the C. Schematic comparison of the EAS clusters of C.
Homologous genes in the two species are indicated by dark gray arrows, whereas genes identified in only one species are indicated by light gray arrows. The arrows indicate the orientation of transcription. The genes, as well as the intergenic regions, are drawn to scale.
Rearrangement in the locus, indicated by dashed lines, is associated with truncation of lpsB in C. The accession no. The expressed genes included the homologue of Cp cloA , which encodes a cytochrome P monooxygenase necessary for synthesis of lysergic acid from elymoclavine.
Also expressed was the homologue of Cp lpsB , which encodes the smaller subunit of the large NRPS, lysergyl peptide synthetase Considering the fact that C. A comparison of the amino acid sequences predicted for the cloA homologues in C. This level of divergence was comparable to that between the functional homologues Cf dmaW and Cp dmaW.
Therefore, there was no reason to expect that the gene has been inactive for a long evolutionary time. Furthermore, it was not apparent that any of the differences in Cf cloA might affect the function of the protein product. RT-PCR analysis and sequence analysis of the products indicated that the expressed Cf cloA transcript was nevertheless properly spliced data not shown.
An in silico correction of these frameshifts gave a predicted product with Adenylation A , thiolation T , and condensation C domains are indicated by shaded boxes, and the numbers indicate the domain borders amino acids for Cp lpsB.
Another stop codon in this reading frame was at position Therefore, only a short, nonfunctional peptide was expected as a product of this pseudogene. The insert in cosmid clone Cf26E11 contained no apparent fungal genes downstream of dmaW , whereas the corresponding region of the known EAS cluster in C. We failed to extend the C. Southern blot analysis Fig. This observation is in keeping with previously published phylogenetic relationships, which group the Claviceps species closer to each other than to other genera in the family.
Therefore, the observation that the Cp lpsA probe hybridized detectably to the lpsA genes in the Neotyphodium species and B. It has been reported that deletion of lpsA in a Neotyphodium species eliminates production of the ergopeptine ergovaline, as well as lysergic acid amide The lack of functional lysergyl peptide synthetase genes in C.
However, the absence of paspalic acid and lysergic acid in C. The lanes contained DNA from C. The arrows in panel B indicate the positions of a residual signal from the Cp dmaW probe; the lower band 8. To test their functionality, the cloA and lpsB genes of C. The transformed mutants were then cultivated under EA-producing conditions, and the expression of the EAS cluster genes was examined by Northern analysis.
Integration of Cf cloA in C. These analyses show that the two C. This explains why the biosynthetic pathway terminates at elymoclavine in C. Heterologous expression of Cf cloA in C. If the production of more complex EA by C. The construct used for complementation of C.
Integration of Cp cloA into the C. Five of the transformants containing the C. Since the expected intermediates paspalic acid and lysergic acid are normally not secreted, mycelial extracts were also analyzed. As shown in Fig. The identity of the TLC peaks was confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses Fig. These results demonstrated that CloA converts elymoclavine to paspalic acid and confirmed that this step is missing in the C.
TLC analyses of ergot alkaloids from the C. Culture extracts were chromatographed on TLC plates, visualized by using van Urk's reagent, and identified by comparison with pure standards. Liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy analyses of ergot alkaloids from the C.
The inset shows the migration of the lysergic acid standard. The relatively small amount of lysergic acid present in the extracts could result from end product inhibition, as has been postulated to explain the alkaloid spectrum of the Cp cloA mutant 8. As in this mutant, in C.
In the complemented strain, elymoclavine accumulated to higher levels than lysergic acid, conceivably due to feedback inhibition by lysergic acid Fig. Diagram of ergot alkaloid biosynthesis in the C.
In the C. In addition to elymoclavine, agroclavine accumulates, perhaps due to feedback inhibition. The absence of functional lpsA and lpsB genes in C. Here we show that C. It seems likely that the other seven Cf EAS genes are functional; they are most likely involved in clavine biosynthesis, since homologues of easA , easC , easD , easE , easF , easG , and dmaW are also present in the fumigaclavine biosynthesis gene cluster of Aspergillus fumigatus 4 , The EA profile of A.
Furthermore, A. In contrast, the presence of an lpsB pseudogene in C. Interestingly, Fleetwood et al. Also, Balansia species and clavicipitaceous symbionts of Ipomoea species plant family Convolvulaceae produce the ergopeptine ergobalansine, which, like ergotamine and ergovaline, comprise lysergic acid and three l -amino acids in a cyclol-lactone ring system 9 , 15 , Therefore, it appears that the common ancestor of most or all plant-associated Clavicipitaceae species had one or more lpsA homologues, which were lost in the C.
It is interesting to speculate about the order in which functions of cloA and lpsB were lost in the C. The sequence divergence of the lpsB genes in the two species is slightly greater than that of the cloA genes. This may be because of an earlier loss of lpsB function or, alternatively, because functional lpsB is less conserved.
If we speculate that lpsB function was lost first, a reasonable scenario would start with the rearrangement of the EAS cluster segment containing it, with concomitant deletion of most of the third domain.
This might have provided selection for the frameshift mutations that eliminate the potential for production of anything other than a small peptide product from this gene. Furthermore, the loss of functional lpsB could have led to accumulation of lysergic acid as the end product. Interestingly, typical EA-producing Clavicipitaceae species tend to produce either lysergyl amides and ergopeptines or clavines, but they accumulate little lysergic acid.
Perhaps the latter compound is detrimental to the producing fungi, or perhaps it is simply less beneficial as a protectant than either the clavines or lysergyl amides and ergopeptines. In either case, loss of lpsB would lead to selection for loss of functional cloA. Department of Agriculture NRI grant Panaccione, and Ullrich Keller for expert assistance and helpful discussions.
