Protein Acetylation/Deacetylation: A Potential Strategy for Fungal Infection Control
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Protein acetylation is a universal post-translational modification that fine-tunes the major cellular processes of many life forms. Although the mechanisms regulating protein acetylation have not been fully elucidated, this modification is finely tuned ...

Variation in physiological host range in three strains of two species of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria [PDF]
, 2018 Knowledge of the host range of a biocontrol agent (BCA) is fundamental. Host range determines the BCA's economic potential, as well as the possible risk for non-target organisms. Entomopathogenic fungal strains belonging to the genus Beauveria are widely

Fungal zinc metabolism and its connections to virulence [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Zinc is a ubiquitous metal in all life forms, as it is a structural component of the almost 10% of eukaryotic proteins, which are called zinc-binding proteins. In zinc-limiting conditions such as those found during infection, pathogenic fungi activate the expression of several systems to enhance the uptake of zinc.

The Chitin-Binding Cladosporium fulvum Effector Protein Avr4 Is a Virulence Factor
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007 The biotrophic fungal pathogen Cladosporium fulvum (syn. Passalora fulva) is the causal agent of tomato leaf mold. The Avr4 protein belongs to a set of effectors that is secreted by C.

Exploiting amoeboid and non-vertebrate animal model systems to study the virulence of human pathogenic fungi. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 Experiments with insects, protozoa, nematodes, and slime molds have recently come to the forefront in the study of host-fungal interactions. Many of the virulence factors required for pathogenicity in mammals are also important for fungal survival during
