Contributions of a Histone Deacetylase (SirT2/Hst2) to Beauveria bassiana Growth, Development, and Virulence

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Sirtuins are a class of histone deacetylases that promote heterochromatin formation to repress transcription. The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana contains six sirtuin homologs.

CsdA‐LaeB Regulatory Hub Contributes to Aspergillus fumigatus Virulence via Fumiquinazoline C Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a conserved CsdA‐LaeB hub in Aspergillus fumigatus that regulates secondary metabolite fumiquinazoline C (FqC). Disrupting this hub enhances FqC production and virulence, shedding new light on the post‐transcriptional regulatory logic linking secondary metabolism to pathogenicity and offering alternative strategies for diagnostic ...

Identification and Characterization of Auxin/IAA Biosynthesis Pathway in the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae has been known to produce the phytohormone auxin/IAA from its hyphae and conidia, but the detailed biological function and biosynthesis pathway is largely unknown.

Global Analysis of Predicted G Protein-Coupled Receptor Genes in the Filamentous Fungus, Neurospora crassa. [PDF]

, 2015
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate facets of growth, development, and environmental sensing in eukaryotes, including filamentous fungi. The largest predicted GPCR class in these organisms is the Pth11-related, with members similar to a protein ...

In Vitro Activities of Five Antifungal Drugs Against Conidia and Sclerotic Cells of Chromoblastomycosis Agent Fonsecaea spp

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

VmMon1-Ccz1 Complex Is Required for Conidiation, Autophagy, and Virulence in Valsa mali

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022
Apple Valsa canker caused by Valsa mali is a serious disease in eastern Asia, especially in China. In our previous proteomics study, monensin sensitivity 1 protein in Valsa mali (VmMon1) was identified to be significantly upregulated during V.

A Core Effector MoPce1 Is Required for the Pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae by Modulating Catalase‐Mediated H2O2 Homeostasis in Rice

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
MoPce1, an atypical CAP/PR‐1 family effector, is essential for Magnaporthe oryzae virulence. MoPce1 functions by interacting with the rice catalase OsCATC to disrupt ROS homeostasis, thereby promoting host susceptibility. ABSTRACT Plant pathogens employ a diverse array of effectors to facilitate host colonisation, including evolutionarily conserved ...

Identification and functional characterization of the putative members of the CTDK-1 kinase complex as regulators of growth and development in Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus

mBio, 2023
Asexual spores are the main vehicle used by fungi to disperse to new niches. The Eurotiomycete Aspergillus nidulans is the main reference for the study of the genetic/molecular control of asexual development.
