Fusarium graminearumis a causal agent of wheat scab and a producer of the trichothecene mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON). The expression of trichothecene biosynthesis (TRI) genes and DON production are mainly regulated by the cyclic adenosine monophosphate‐protein kinase A (cAMP‐PKA) pathway and two pathway‐specific transcription factors (TRI6andTRI10). Interestingly, deletion mutants ofTRI6show reduced expression of several components of cAMP signalling, including theFgCAP1adenylate‐binding protein gene that has not been functionally characterized inF. graminearum. In this study, we show that FgCap1 interacts with Fac1 adenylate cyclase and that deletion ofFgCAP1reduces the intracellular cAMP level and PKA activity. TheFgcap1deletion mutant is defective in vegetative growth, conidiogenesis and plant infection. It also shows significantly reduced DON production andTRIgene expression, which can be suppressed by exogenous cAMP, indicating a PKA‐dependent regulation of DON biosynthesis by FgCap1. The wild‐type, but nottri6mutant, shows increased levels of intracellular cAMP andFgCAP1expression under DON‐producing conditions. Furthermore, the promoter ofFgCAP1contains one putative Tri6‐binding site that is important for its function during DON biosynthesis, but is dispensable for hyphal growth, conidiogenesis and pathogenesis. In addition, FgCap1 shows an actin‐like localization to the cortical patches at the apical region of hyphal tips. Phosphorylation of FgCap1 at S353 was identified by phosphoproteomics analysis. The S353A mutation inFgCAP1has no effect on its functions during vegetative growth, conidiation and DON production. However, expression of theFgCAP1S353Aallele fails to complement the defects of theFgcap1mutant in plant infection, indicating the importance of the phosphorylation of FgCap1 at S353 during pathogenesis. Taken together, our results suggest thatFgCAP1is involved in the regulation of DON production via cAMP signalling and subjected to a feedback regulation byTRI6, but the phosphorylation of FgCap1 at S353 is probably unrelated to the cAMP‐PKA pathway because the S353A mutation only affects plant infection.
