The COMPASS‐like complex modulates fungal development and pathogenesis by regulating H3K4me3‐mediated targeted gene expression in Magnaporthe oryzae [PDF]
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2021 Abstract Histone‐3‐lysine‐4 (H3K4) methylation is catalysed by the multiprotein complex known as the Set1/COMPASS or MLL/COMPASS‐like complex, an element that is highly evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans.

Regulatory Roles of Histone Modifications in Filamentous Fungal Pathogens
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Filamentous fungal pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to infect a variety of hosts including plants and insects. The dynamic infection process requires rapid and fine-tuning regulation of fungal gene expression programs in response to the changing

Small RNA Analyses of a Ceratobasidium Isolate Infected with Three Endornaviruses
Viruses, 2022 Isolates of three endornavirus species were identified co-infecting an unidentified species of Ceratobasidium, itself identified as a symbiont from within the roots of a wild plant of the terrestrial orchid Pterostylis vittata in Western Australia ...

Doxycycline-regulated gene expression in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2005 Abstract Background Although Aspergillus fumigatus is an important human fungal pathogen there are few expression systems available to study the contribution of specific genes to the growth and virulence of this opportunistic mould.

Light-regulated promoters for tunable, temporal, and affordable control of fungal gene expression [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018 Regulatable promoters are important genetic tools, particularly for assigning function to essential and redundant genes. They can also be used to control the expression of enzymes that influence metabolic flux or protein secretion, thereby optimizing product yield in bioindustry.

Regulation of gene expression by the action of a fungal lncRNA on a transactivator [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2019 Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial factors acting on regulatory processes in eukaryotes. Recently, for the first time in a filamentous fungus, the lncRNA HAX1 was characterized in the ascomycete Trichoderma reesei. In industry, this fungus is widely applied for the high-yield production of cellulases.

Induced fungal resistance to insect grazing: reciprocal fitness consequences and fungal gene expression in the Drosophila-Aspergillus model system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fungi are key dietary resources for many animals. Fungi, in consequence, have evolved sophisticated physical and chemical defences for repelling and impairing fungivores.

Nucleosome patterns in four plant pathogenic fungi with contrasted genome structures
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Fungal pathogens represent a serious threat towards agriculture, health, and environment. Control of fungal diseases on crops necessitates a global understanding of fungal pathogenicity determinants and their expression during infection.
