Multi‐Omics Analyses Reveal Divergent Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Plant Biomass Conversion by Five Fungi

MicrobiologyOpen
Fungal plant biomass conversion (FPBC) is of great importance to the global carbon cycle and has been increasingly applied for the production of biofuel and biochemicals from lignocellulose.

Vanillin dehydrogenase (VhdA) from Aspergillus niger is active on depolymerized lignin

Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment
Vanillin dehydrogenases are important enzymes involved in the conversion of lignin-derived aromatic aldehydes such as vanillin and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde into its acid form.

Hijacking the Host Clock: A Nematode Effector Antagonizes Soybean Circadian Defense and Translation Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soybean employs its circadian clock, governed by GmCCA1, to rhythmically defend against soybean cyst nematodes. The pathogen retaliates by secreting the effector Hg4E02, which hijacks the clock to suppress defense and co‐opt the host's translation machinery for nutrient acquisition.

L-Rhamnose Dehydrogenase LraA of Aspergillus niger Shows High Substrate Specificity Matching Its Expression Profile

Journal of Fungi
L-rhamnose is one of the main monomeric sugars of rhamnogalacturonan I and II, which are polysaccharide components of pectin. In the ascomycete fungus Aspergillus niger it is metabolized through the non-phosphorylated L-rhamnose pathway, of which the ...

A Keratinocyte‐Mast Cell NF‐κB2/CXCL2/IL‐6 Amplification Loop Enhances Cutaneous Antifungal Defense Against C. albicans

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mast cells (MCs), key innate immune sentinels at the host–environment interface, serve as primary responders to invading pathogens. However, their specific contribution to host defense against cutaneous Candida albicans (C. albicans) infection and their synergy with other immune and non‐immune cells remain poorly understood. Here, we show that

Expansion of maltose/sucrose related transporters in Ascomycetes and their association with corresponding disaccharide utilization

Current Research in Microbial Sciences
Sugar transporters (STs) play a crucial role in mediating sugar uptake in fungi and have been increasingly studied due to their important biological roles and industrial potential.

Fungal biomineralization

Current Biology, 2021
Fungi are key organisms of the biosphere with major roles in organic-matter decomposition, element cycling, plant pathogenicity, and symbioses in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The vast majority exhibit a filamentous, branching growth form and are aerobic chemoorganotrophs that derive carbon and energy from organic substances, and are particularly ...

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.
