Hypovirus infection induces proliferation and perturbs functions of mitochondria in the chestnut blight fungus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionThe chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, and hypovirus have been used as a model to probe the mechanism of virulence and regulation of traits important to the host fungus.

cpubi4 Is Essential for Development and Virulence in Chestnut Blight Fungus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Ubiquitination plays key roles in eukaryotic growth, stress adaptation, and metabolic regulation. In our previous work, ubiquitin was found to be secreted in the hypovirus-infected strain of Cryphonectria parasitica, a phytopathogenic filamentous fungus ...

Structure of Oxalacetate Acetylhydrolase, a Virulence Factor of the Chestnut Blight Fungus [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010 Oxalacetate acetylhydrolase (OAH), a member of the phosphoenolpyruvate mutase/isocitrate lyase superfamily, catalyzes the hydrolysis of oxalacetate to oxalic acid and acetate. This study shows that knock-out of the oah gene in Cryphonectria parasitica, the chestnut blight fungus, reduces the ability of the fungus to form cankers on chestnut trees ...

Comparative Methylome Analysis Reveals Perturbation of Host Epigenome in Chestnut Blight Fungus by a Hypovirus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 In eukaryotic genomes, DNA methylation is an important type of epigenetic modification that plays crucial roles in many biological processes. To investigate the impact of a hypovirus infection on the methylome of Cryphonectria parasitica, the chestnut ...

Testing the efficiency of natural hypovirulence for biological control of chestnut blight under field conditions [PDF]
IMA FungusGlobal increases in connectivity have greatly accelerated the frequency of biological invasions across most of Earth’s ecosystems, including forests. Once invasive organisms become established in a naïve environment, they are difficult to eradicate or ...

m6A demethylase CpALKBH regulates CpZap1 mRNA stability to modulate the development and virulence of chestnut blight fungus [PDF]
mBioAs the most abundant eukaryotic mRNA modification, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays a crucial role in regulating multiple biological processes. This methylation is regulated by methyltransferases and demethylases.
