Diversity of Fungal DNA Methyltransferases and Their Association With DNA Methylation Patterns

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a group of proteins that catalyze DNA methylation by transferring a methyl group to DNA. The genetic variation in DNMTs results in differential DNA methylation patterns associated with various biological processes.

Candida glabrata: A Lot More Than Meets the Eye

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2019
Candida glabrata is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen that causes superficial mucosal and life-threatening bloodstream infections in individuals with a compromised immune system. Evolutionarily, it is closer to the non-pathogenic yeast Saccharomyces

Mycelial DNA persistence in a forest soil

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2021
Living fungi can be identified and monitored in their soil habitat using an array of molecular methods. However, DNA originating from dead fungal tissue may become stabilized in the soil and remain detectable for some time after cell death rendering ...

Distinct Roles of Two DNA Methyltransferases from Cryphonectria parasitica in Fungal Virulence, Responses to Hypovirus Infection, and Viral Clearance

open access: yesmBio, 2021
Although relatively few in number, studies of DNA methylation have shown that fungal DNA methylation is implicated in development, genome integrity, and genome defense.
