The Zn2Cys6 transcription factor is a fungal-specific zinc finger protein, which plays an important role in regulating growth, development and pathogenicity of pathogenic fungi. In this study, we characterized two Zn2Cys6 transcription factors, CsGcc1 and CgrGcc1 in Colletotrichum siamense and C. graminicola, respectively, which are homologous to Gcc1 in Magnaporthe oryzae. Both CsGcc1 and CgrGcc1 contain a typical GAL4 DNA-binding domain. Deletion of CsGCC1 or CgrGCC1 decreased the growth rate and lowered the tolerance to H2O2. In addition, disrupting CsGCC1 reduced conidial yield and lowered the germination rate and appressorium formation rate of C. siamense. Cellophane assays showed that deletion of CsGCC1 also weakened the penetration ability of appressoria. In C. graminicola, CgrGcc1 did not affect the production and germination of oval conidia, but its deletion significantly decreased the yield of the falcate conidium, and led to abnormal appressorium formation. In terms of pathogenicity, CsGcc1 slightly reduced the virulence of C. siamense, while deleting CgrGcc1 did not affect virulence of C. graminicola. In conclusion, the Zn2Cys6 transcription factors CsGcc1 and CgrGcc1 are involved in the regulation of vegetative growth, oxidative stress, conidial/falcate conidial production and appressorium formation in C. siamense and C. graminicola.
