Tubulin cofactor A (TBCA), one of the members of tubulin cofactors, is of great importance in microtubule functions through participating in the folding of α/β-tubulin heterodimers in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, little is known about the roles of TBCA in filamentous fungi. In this study, we characterized a TBCA orthologue FaTBCA in Fusarium asiaticum. The deletion of FaTBCA caused dramatically reduced mycelial growth and abnormal conidiation. The FaTBCA deletion mutant (ΔFaTBCA-3) showed increased sensitivity to low temperatures and even lost the ability of growth at 4°C. Microscopic observation found that hyphae of ΔFaTBCA-3 exhibited blebbing phenotypes after shifting from 25 to 4°C for 1- or 3-day incubation and approximately 72% enlarged nodes contained several nuclei after 3-day incubation at 4°C. However, hyphae of the wild type incubated at 4°C were phenotypically indistinguishable from those incubated at 25°C. These results indicate that FaTBCA is involved in cell division under cold stress (4°C) in F. asiaticum. Unexpectedly, ΔFaTBCA-3 did not exhibit increased sensitivity to the anti-microtubule drug carbendazim although quantitative real-time assays showed that the expression of FaTBCA was up-regulated after treatment with carbendazim. In addition, pathogenicity assays showed that ΔFaTBCA-3 exhibited decreased virulence on wheat head and on non-host tomato. Taken together, results of this study indicate that FaTBCA plays crucial roles in vegetative growth, conidiation, temperature sensitivity and virulence in F. asiaticum.
