Retromer Regulates Macro- and Micro-Autophagy via Distinct Vacuolar Proteases in the Rice Blast Fungus. [PDF]
In wild‐type of M. oryzae (Guy11), MoPrb1 and MoPep4 are delivered into the vacuole by the retromer complex to mediate protein degradation and selective autophagy. Their proper localization and catalytic functions are essential for the fungal vegetative growth, conidiation and pathogenicity. However, retromer mutations disrupt this transport, impairing

Menadione-induced oxidative stress re-shapes the oxylipin profile of Aspergillus flavus and its lifestyle [PDF]
Aspergillus flavus is an efficient producer of mycotoxins, particularly aflatoxin B1, probably the most hepatocarcinogenic naturally-occurring compound.

Robustness from flexibility in the fungal circadian clock [PDF]
Background Robustness is a central property of living systems, enabling function to be maintained against environmental perturbations. A key challenge is to identify the structures in biological circuits that confer system-level properties such as ...

Diversification of a protein kinase cascade: IME-2 is involved in nonself recognition and programmed cell death in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Kinase cascades and the modification of proteins by phosphorylation are major mechanisms for cell signaling and communication, and evolution of these signaling pathways can contribute to new developmental or environmental response pathways.

The guanine nucleotide exchange factor RIC8 regulates conidial germination through Gα proteins in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Heterotrimeric G protein signaling is essential for normal hyphal growth in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. We have previously demonstrated that the non-receptor guanine nucleotide exchange factor RIC8 acts upstream of the Gα proteins GNA-1 and
