AbstractVarious carbohydrate-active enzymes inAspergillusare produced in response to physiological inducers, which is regulated at the transcriptional level. To elucidate the induction mechanisms inAspergillus, we screened for new regulators involved in cellulose-responsive induction from approximately 10,000Aspergillus aculeatusT-DNA-inserted mutants. We constructed the T-DNA-inserted mutant library using the host strain harboring the orotidine 5′-monophosphate decarboxylase gene (pyrG) under the control of the FIII-avicelase gene (cbhI) promoter. Thus, candidate mutants deficient in cellulose-responsive induction were positively screened via counter selection against 5-fluoroorotic acid (5-FOA). Among less than two hundred 5-FOA-resistant mutants, one mutant that the T-DNA inserted into theAasepMlocus reduced thecbhIexpression in response to cellulose. Since AaSepM is similar toSchizosaccharomyces pombeCdc14p (E-value, 2e-20; identities, 33%), which is a component of the septation initiation network (SIN)-complex, we constructed anAasepMdeletion mutant (ΔAasepM). We analyzed the expression of cellulase and xylanase genes in response to cellulose, septation, and conidiation in ΔAasepM. TheAasepMdeletion leads to delayed septation and decreased formation of the conidium chain inA. aculeatusbut does not affect hyphal growth on minimal media. We also confirmed AaSepM’s involvement in multiple cellulose-responsive signaling pathways of cellulase and xylanase genes under the control of the ManR-dependent, XlnR-dependent, and ManR- and XlnR-independent signaling pathways.Key points•A new regulator for cellulolytic gene expression has been identified.•AaSepM is involved in septation and conidiation in A. aculeatus.•AasepM is involved in multiple cellulose-responsive signaling pathways.
