Coprinopsis cinerea, 亦稀灰蓋鬼傘，是研究擔子菌發育過程的模範生物。它的生命週期短，容易培養，亦有已建立的遺傳和分子生物研究技術。最近，它的完整基因組序列亦被發表。C. cinerea 的子實體萌生和發展是快速而複雜的過程。它受多種因素影響，如交配基因，營養消耗，光照和溫度。然而，我們對於C. cinerea 出菇的基本機制和涉及的分子途徑仍不清楚。在這項研究中，我採用NimbleGen 微陣列，以了解13,320 個C. cinerea 基因模型的表達。此微陣列覆蓋不同發育階段，包括雙核菌絲體，子實體初體，第2階段原基體，年青和成熟子實體。11,815個預測，在至少一個發育階段表達。707個基因模型在出菇的萌生過程有差異表達。我發現一些可能參與子實體的萌生和發展的份子。它們可能在檢測養分、形態、信號轉導和應激反應方面，擔當重要角色。此外，我亦分析了轉錄因子 、蛋白激酶組和細胞色素P450的基因表達模式。 / C. cinerea 的子實體發展是與光暗週期同步。當子實體初體在沒有光的環境培植，使會形成dark stipe。101個基因在dark stipe 表達差異。它們可能參與原基體成熟的過程。此微陣列基因表達數據，對了解菇機制有價格的信息。 / 胞吞作用是真核細胞透過質膜內陷將外來物質攝取的過程。Rab5 和Rab7 分別控制早期和晚期的胞吞作用。C. cinerea 的胞吞作用是組織由110個基因組成。FM4-64 螢光顯示在C. cinerea 菌絲體的胞吞作用是依賴肌動蛋白和能源。從菌絲體到年青子實體，Cc. Rab5的表達維持相同水平，而Cc.Rab7 的表達則不斷增加，兩者在成熟子實體的表達都是最高，原位雜交體技術顯示 Cc.Rab5 和Cc.Rab7 的 mRNA在年青子實體的子實層以及整個子實層上菌摺表達。我在第2階段原基體進行RNA 乾擾，致使Cc.Rab5 和Cc.Rab7的基因表達敲落。這導致原基體的生長遲緩。及後形成的成熟子實體亦有異常形態。因此，我推測Cc. Rab5 和Cc.Rab7參與出菇過程，並影響擔孢子的形成。這些結果表明，胞吞作用在C.Cinerea 子實體發育過程中發揮定一定的作用。 / Coprinopsis cinerea, is a model organism for studying developmental processes in basidiomycetous fungi. It has a short life cycle, easy to be cultivated in laboratory and can be accessed by various genetic and molecular techniques. Recently, its complete genome sequence was released. The fruiting body development in C. cinerea is a rapid yet complicated process. It is under the regulation of various factors such as mating type genes, nutrients depletion, light and temperature. However, the underlying mechanism and molecular events involved during fruiting body initiation and development remains unclear. / In this study, fruiting body developmental stages including mycelium, fruiting initials, stage 2 primordium, young and mature fruiting body, were analyzed with a comprehensive NimbleGen microarray. 11,815 out of 13,320 predicted gene models were expressed in at least one of the stages. 707 genes were differentially expressed during fruiting body initiation. Potential players involved in nutrients sensing, morphogenesis, signaling pathways and stress response were identified. In particular, expression patterns of all transcription factors, kinome and cytochrome P450s were analyzed. / The fruiting body development of C. cinerea is synchronized with the light/dark cycle. Differentially expressed genes were found in dark stipe produced by keeping fruiting initials in complete darkness. 101 genes, which are likely to be involved in maturation of primordium were identified. / Endocytosis is an essential process in eukaryotes through which cells take up extracellular substrates by membrane invaginations. Rab5 and Rab7 control the early and late stage of endocytosis respectively. The C. cinerea endocytic machinery composed of 110 genes models. The endocytic pathway was traced by FM4-64 and was found to be actin- and energy-dependent. Temporal and spatial expressions of Cc.Rab5 and Cc.Rab7 during fruiting body development were studied. Cc.Rab5 expressed constitutively from mycelium to young fruiting body stage, and reached the highest in the mature fruiting body. The expression of Cc.Rab7 increased continually from mycelium to mature fruiting body stage. From the in situ RNA-RNA hybridization results, both transcripts were localized at the hymenium layer in the young fruiting body and throughout the gill tissue of the mature cap. Knock-down of Cc.Rab5 and Cc.Rab7 by siRNA resulted in retarded growth of the stage 2 primordium and abnormal mature fruiting body. Cc.Rab5 and Cc.Rab7 may be involved in the formation of basidiospores. Endocytosis may play some roles during fruiting body development in C. cinerea. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Lee, Yung Yung. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 156-179). / Electronic reproduction.
