Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) facilitate intracellular vesicle trafficking and membrane fusion in eukaryotes play a vital role fungal growth, development, pathogenicity. However, the functions of SNAREs are still largely unknown nematode-trapping fungi. Arthrobotrys oligospora is representative species fungi that can produce adhesive networks (traps) for nematode predation. In this study, we characterized AoSec22 A. oligospora, homolog yeast SNARE Sec22. Deletion Aosec22 resulted remarkable reductions mycelial number nuclei, conidia yield, trap formation, especially traps failed to develop mature three-dimensional networks. Further, absence impaired fatty acid utilization, autophagy, stress tolerance; addition, vacuoles became small fragmented hyphal cells ∆Aosec22 mutant, large form. The reduced sporulation capacity correlated with transcriptional repression several sporulation-related genes, accumulation lipid droplets line genes involved oxidation. Moreover, remarkably secondary metabolism, resulting 4717 1230 compounds upregulated downregulated respectively. Collectively, our data highlighted plays pleiotropic growth vacuole assembly, response, metabolism; particular, it required proper development oligospora.
