Background:Trichoderma reeseiis a primary lignocellulosic enzyme producer in industry. However, the mechanisms underlying cellulase synthesis as well as other physiological processes are insufficiently understood partly due to the sophisticated process for its genetic manipulation. Target gene knockdown by RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for genetic research and biotechnology in eukaryotes including filamentous fungi. Previously reported RNAi system inT. reeseiwas either uncontrollable or only applicable in certain nutrition state.Results:In the present study, we incorporated the copper-responsivetcu1promoter into an RNAi-mediated silencing system to develop a controllable RNAi-mediated silencing system inT. reesei. As the proof-of-concept, a prototrophicpyr4gene, highly expressedcel7aandxyr1genes induced by Avicel and afab1gene, whose knockout has proved to be intractable, were successfully knocked down in the absence of copper when the respective RNAi fragment was expressed. Importantly, the phenotype of RNAi strains was shown to be reversed easily to mimic the complementation for excluding any unwanted effects resulted from the random integration of the hpRNA cassette by adding copper in the media. Thus, this controllable RNAi-mediated silencing system can be turned on and turned off only depending on the absence and presence of copper ions in the media, respectively, and not on the nutritional states.Conclusions:The copper-controlled RNA interference system represents an effective tool for reversible silencing of target genes inT. reesei.This reported strategy to conditionally knock down or turn off genes will contribute to our understanding ofT. reeseigene functions, especially those that are difficult to be knocked out due to various reasons. In addition, this simple and cost-effective method holds great potential for the application in synthetic biology and genetic engineering ofT. reesei.
