dc.description.abstract | Many fungi of the genus Fusarium stand out for the complexity of their secondary
metabolism. Individual species may differ in their metabolic capacities, but they usually
share the ability to synthesize carotenoids, a family of hydrophobic terpenoid pigments widely
distributed in nature. Early studies on carotenoid biosynthesis in Fusarium aquaeductuum have
been recently extended in Fusarium fujikuroi and Fusarium oxysporum, well-known biotechnological
and phytopathogenic models, respectively. The major Fusarium carotenoid is neurosporaxanthin,
a carboxylic xanthophyll synthesized from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate through the activity of four
enzymes, encoded by the genes carRA, carB, carT and carD. These fungi produce also minor amounts
of β-carotene, which may be cleaved by the CarX oxygenase to produce retinal, the rhodopsin’s
chromophore. The genes needed to produce retinal are organized in a gene cluster with a rhodopsin
gene, while other carotenoid genes are not linked. In the investigated Fusarium species, the synthesis
of carotenoids is induced by light through the transcriptional induction of the structural genes.
In some species, deep-pigmented mutants with up-regulated expression of these genes are affected in
the regulatory gene carS. The molecular mechanisms underlying the control by light and by the CarS
protein are currently under investigation. | es |
