Arthrobotrys oligospora has been utilized as a model strain to study the interaction between fungi and nematodes owing its ability capture by developing specialized traps. A previous showed that high-osmolarity glycerol (Hog1) signaling regulates osmoregulation nematocidal activity of A. oligospora. However, function downstream transcription factors Hog1 in nematode-trapping (NT) remains unclear. This aimed investigate functions potential regulatory network AoMsn2, factor pathway The AoMsn2 was characterized using targeted gene deletion, phenotypic experiments, real-time quantitative PCR, RNA sequencing, untargeted metabolomics, yeast two-hybrid analysis. Loss Aomsn2 significantly enlarged swollen hyphae, with an increase septa significant decrease nuclei. In particular, spore yield, germination rate, traps, nematode predation efficiency were remarkably decreased mutants. Phenotypic transcriptomic analyses revealed is essential for fatty acid metabolism autophagic pathways. Additionally, metabolomic analysis identified important modulation secondary metabolites. Furtherly, we analyzed protein based on Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes map online website STRING. Finally, six putative proteins Y2H Our reveals plays crucial roles growth, conidiation, trap development, metabolism, well establishes broad basis understanding mechanisms morphogenesis environmental adaptation NT fungi.

The high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) signalling pathway, comprising Ste11/Ssk2/Ssk22 (MAPKKK), Pbs2 (MAPKK), and Hog1 (MAPK), is an important conserved pathway in fungi. However, the functions downstream regulatory factors of nematode-trapping (NT) fungi remain poorly understood. Here, three proteins (AoNmd5, AoPyp1, AoPtp) interacting with were screened a representative NT fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora using yeast screening library verified two-hybrid (Y2H) assay. function AoNmd5 was furtherly characterized by phenotypic comparison, staining technique, multi-omics analyses. essential for vegetative growth, conidial development, trap morphogenesis, nematode predation ability. In addition, played crucial roles endocytosis, lipid metabolism, reactive oxygen species, stress response, autophagy, other metabolic processes. Furthermore, we constructed interaction network based on transcriptomic analysis Y2H, revealing its significant role respiratory chain redox processes as well small GTPase Ran1, which mediates nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. These findings suggest that Hog1-Nmd5 has pleiotropic A. oligospora. This study deepens our understanding HOG importins
