Roles of the Fungal-Specific Lysine Biosynthetic Pathway in the Nematode-Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora Identified through Metabolomics Analyses. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2023 In higher fungi, lysine is biosynthesized via the α-aminoadipate (AAA) pathway, which differs from plants, bacteria, and lower fungi. The differences offer a unique opportunity to develop a molecular regulatory strategy for the biological control of ...

Electron-Transferring Flavoprotein and Its Dehydrogenase Required for Fungal Pathogenicity in Arthrobotrys oligospora. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciElectron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) plays an important function in fatty acid beta oxidation and the amino acid metabolic pathway. It can provide pathogenicity to some opportunistic fungi via modulating cellular metabolite composition. Arthrobotrys oligospora is a typical invasion fungus to nematodes. Its ETF characterization is still unknown.

Aolatg1 and Aolatg13 Regulate Autophagy and Play Different Roles in Conidiation, Trap Formation, and Pathogenicity in the Nematode-Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora. [PDF]
Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2021 Autophagy is a conserved cellular recycling and trafficking pathway in eukaryotes that plays an important role in cell growth, development, and pathogenicity. Atg1 and Atg13 form the Atg1–Atg13 complex, which is essential for autophagy in yeast. Here, we

Functional analysis of seven regulators of G protein signaling (RGSs) in the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora [PDF]
Virulence, 2021 Regulators of G protein signaling (RGSs) are proteins that negatively regulate G protein signal transduction. In this study, seven putative RGSs were characterized in the nematode-trapping (NT) fungus, Arthrobotrys oligospora.

Fus3 regulates asexual development and trap morphogenesis in the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora. [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) Fus3 is an essential regulator of cell differentiation and virulence in fungal pathogens of plants and animals. However, the function and regulatory mechanism of MAPK signaling in nematode-trapping (NT) fungi remain largely unknown.

Nutrient State-Dependent Ascarosides and Nematode Immune Response Limit the Predation of <i>Arthrobotrys oligospora</i>. [PDF]
MicroorganismsNematode-trapping fungi act as predators of nematodes in soil ecosystems, forming a typical predator–prey relationship. However, this interaction is frequently influenced by environmental factors such as nutrient state. In this study, we demonstrate that

The Arf-GAP Proteins AoGcs1 and AoGts1 Regulate Mycelial Development, Endocytosis, and Pathogenicity in Arthrobotrys oligospora. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2022 Small GTPases from the ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) family and their activating proteins (Arf-GAPs) regulate mycelial development, endocytosis, and virulence in fungi. Here, we identified two orthologous Arf-GAP proteins, AoGcs1 and AoGts1, in a typical
