Sugarcane smut is a severe fungal disease caused by Sporisorium scitamineum, resulting in yield reduction and economic losses. Reversible protein phosphorylation plays a crucial role in the sexual mating and pathogenicity of S. scitamineum. Protein phosphatases, as key regulators of reversible protein phosphorylation, remain poorly characterized in S. scitamineum. Objective To elucidate the biological functions of the protein phosphatase SsPpe1 in S. scitamineum, providing a potential target for effective control of sugarcane smut. Methods We constructed overexpression mutants OE-Ssppe1 by Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation technology and analyzed the sporidium morphology, sexual mating ability, stress tolerance, and pathogenicity. Results The OE-Ssppe1 sporidia exhibited pseudohyphal morphology with multiple nuclei and abnormal chitin accumulation. The OE-Ssppe1 mutants showed reduced tolerance to NaCl and SDS, sexual mating, and pathogenicity. RT-qPCR and RNA-seq analyses revealed that Ssppe1 overexpression affected the expression of genes related to pheromone response, MAPK, and cAMP-PKA signaling pathways. In addition, Ssppe1 overexpression affected protein synthesis and folding process. Conclusion The protein phosphatase SsPpe1 is involved in regulating the sporidium morphology, stress responses, sexual mating, and pathogenicity of S. scitamineum. These findings provide a theoretical basis for thoroughly elucidating the pathogenic mechanisms of S. scitamineum and developing targeted disease control strategies.
