Abstract: A gene encoding aryl alcohol oxidase named vvaao1 was obtained from straw mushroom Volvariella volvacea. To reveal the role of vvaao1 during substrate degradation and fruiting-body development in V. volvacea,the structure,sequence characters and expression profile of vvaao1 were analyzed. ZOOM software was used to confirm the accuracy of gene sequence and analyze the gene structure. The protein sequence was submitted to Expasy ProtParam for physicochemical properties prediction,SignalP server for signal peptide prediction,TargetP server for sub-cellular localization prediction,and the Phyre 2 server for three dimensional(3D)structure analysis. The MEGA 5.1 was used for multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis. Digital gene expression profiling(DGE),real time fluorescent quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and iTRAQ methods were used to determine the expression pattern of vvaao1. Results showed that the full sequence of vvaao1 covered 3 091 bp,containing 9 exons and 8 introns,and the open reading frame length was 1803bp,encoded a protein with 600 amino acids. Bioinformatic analysis showed that the VvAAO1 contained a secretory signal peptide,and located in secretory pathway. The 3D structures predicted showed that VvAAO1 consisted with 20 α-helices and 19 β-strands,and had 48% identity with model protein 3FIM. The phylogenetic tree showed that VvAAO1 of V. volvacea belonged to the AAO class of GMC superfamily,and had the closest relationship with AAO in Pleurotus eryngii and P. pulmonarius. The analysis of DGE,RT-qPCR and iTRAQ results showed that the expression value of vvaao1 in H1521 were 51.0,49.8 and 2.13 times as much as the sum of two homokaryons,respectively. In addition,the gene expression of vvaao1 in primordia showed significant higher than other fruiting-body samples. VvAAO1 is a secretory protein,and its high level expression may be beneficial for fruiting-body formation.
