Abstract

Oxalic acid (OA), an essential pathogenic factor, has been identified in several plant pathogens, and researchers are currently pursuing studies on interference with OA metabolism as a treatment for related diseases. However, the metabolic route in Magnaporthe oryzae remains unknown. In this study, we describe D-erythroascorbic acid-mediated OA synthesis and its metabolic and clearance pathways in rice blast fungus. By knocking out the D-arabino-1,4-lactone oxidase gene (Moalo1), one-third of oxalic acid remained in M. oryzae, indicating a main pathway for oxalic acid production. M. oryzae OxdC (MoOxdC) is an oxalate decarboxylase that appears to play a role in relieving oxalic acid toxicity. Loss of Mooxdc does not affect mycelial growth, conidiophore development, or appressorium formation in M. oryzae; however, the antioxidant and pathogenic abilities of the mutant were enhanced. This is owing to Mooxdc deletion upregulated a series of OA metabolic genes, including the oxalate oxidase gene (Mooxo) and Moalo1, as well as both OA transporter genes. Simultaneously, as feedback to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the decrease of formic acid in ΔMooxdc leads to the reduction of acetyl-CoA content, and two genes involved in the β-oxidation of fatty acids were also upregulated, which enhanced the fatty acid metabolism of the ΔMooxdc. Overall, this work reveals the role of OA in M. oryzae. We found that OA metabolism was mainly involved in the growth and development of M. oryzae, OA as a byproduct of D-erythroascorbic acid after removing H2O2, the OA-associated pathway ensures the TCA process and ATP supply.
