The mitochondrial intermediate peptidase (MIP) gene is conserved in fungi. It is linked closely with the mating-type A (mtA) gene. In this study, a fragment of the MIP gene in Volvariella volvacea (Bull. ex Fr.) Singer was first cloned by homologue-based cloning technology. Subsequently, the entire MIP DNA sequence (PYd21-MIP) was obtained after the fragment was compared with the genomic data through BLAST analysis. The PYd21-MIP sequence appeared to be homologous with the MIP gene in other fungi. Phylogenetic analysis of PYd21-MIP and other MIP sequences from diverse fungi agreed with the current organism phylogeny. Analysis of protein domains by InterProScan software and motif searching demonstrated that PYd21-MIP encodes a homologous MIP protein. These data support the hypothesis that the PYd21-MIP protein is a Hog-MIP protein homologue from V. volvacea.

Abstract Cinnamomum micranthum (Hayata) Hayata is a tree species that is often confused with Cinnamomum kanehirae Hayata, which is an endemic species in Taiwan and the sole natural host of the valuable medicinal fungus Antrodia cinnamomea. However, the two species are highly similar in morphology and difficult to distinguish based on traditional vegetative structures or wood anatomical methods. The aim of the present study was to identify of these two species by DNA and chemical analysis. The complete chloroplast genome of C. micranthum has been determined and compared with that of C. kanehirae. The leaf methanol extracts of these species were also analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The length of the C. micranthum chloroplast genome was 152675 bp, i.e. 25 bp shorter than that of C. kanehirae. In phylogenetic analysis, C. micranthum was more closely related to C. kanehirae than other six Lauracea species. Six validated insertion/deletions of bases in the DNA (InDels) are suitable for differentiation of the two species. Moreover, high amounts of linalool and sesamin were present in the leaves of C. kanehirae, but not in C. micranthum. Overall, this study provided new insight for distinguishing the two species on the basis of the chemical composition of the leaves and the InDel markers.

Although the button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) accounts for slightly over half of total world mushroom production, specialty mushrooms, e.g., shiitake (Lentinula edodes), straw (Volvariella volvacea), oyster (Pleurotus spp.), and enokitake (Flammulina velutipes), are increasing in popularity. These species contain moderate quantities of good quality protein and are good sources of dietary fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, and minerals. Lipid levels are low, but unsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratios are high (about 2.0 – 4.5:1). Some species (e.g., shiitake) accumulate cadmium and selenium and other heavy metals, and some may contain toxic substances such as the heat labile cardiotoxic proteins volvatoxin in the straw mushroom and flammutoxin in enokitake. Extensive clinical studies, primarily in Japan, have clearly demonstrated that a number of species have medicinal and therapeutic value, by injection or oral administration, in the prevention/treatment of cancer, viral diseases (influenza, polio), hypercholesterolemia, blood platelet aggregation, and hypertension. Most of the studies have focused on shiitake, enokitake, Pleurotus spp., and on the generally nonculinary Ganoderma spp. Many of the active substances which include polysaccharides (e.g., β-glucans), nucleic acid derivatives (the hypocholesterolemic eritadenine), lipids, peptides, proteins, and glycoproteins, have been isolated and identified. Some of the mechanisms of activity have been elucidated, e.g., antiviral activity via stimulation of interferon production in the host. Additional medical claims less well documented may nonetheless have some validity and merit further study.
