Functional diversification of the MADS-box gene family in fine-tuning the dimorphic transition of Talaromyces marneffei [PDF]
mSystemsThe dynamic transition between yeast and hypha is a crucial adaptive mechanism for many human pathogenic fungi, including Talaromyces marneffei, a thermodimorphic fungus responsible for causing fatal talaromycosis. In the current study, we elucidated the

Glucosamine stimulates pheromone-independent dimorphic transition in Cryptococcus neoformans by promoting Crz1 nuclear translocation. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Morphotype switch is a cellular response to external and internal cues. The Cryptococcus neoformans species complex can undergo morphological transitions between the yeast and the hypha form, and such morphological changes profoundly affect cryptococcal ...

Coordinated gene family evolution shapes the genome of dimorphic Mucorales [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsDimorphic organisms possess the remarkable genome capacity to alternate genetic information between two distinct life forms. In dimorphic Mucorales, lineages can reversibly transition between yeast and mycelium as a function of environmental stimuli ...
