The Function of a Conidia Specific Transcription Factor CsgA in Aspergillus nidulans
Scientific Reports, 2022 Aspergillus spp. mainly reproduce asexually via asexual spores called conidia. In this study, we identified CsgA, a conidia-specific Zn2Cys6 transcription factor containing the GAL4-like zinc-finger domain, and characterized the roles of CsgA in the ...

Electrostatic interactions mediate the nucleation and growth of a bacterial functional amyloid
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Bacterial biofilm formation can have severe impacts on human and environmental health. Enteric bacteria produce functional amyloid fibers called curli that aid in biofilm formation and host colonization. CsgA is the major proteinaceous component of curli
