Harnessing Epigenetic Modifiers Reveals MAPK-Mediated Regulation Mechanisms in Hadal Fungi of Alternaria alternata Under High Hydrostatic Pressure

Journal of Fungi
High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) significantly modulates microbial metabolism, while chemical epigenetic modifiers are known to reactivate silent biosynthetic gene clusters and induce novel natural products.

High hydrostatic pressure harnesses the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites via the regulation of polyketide synthesis genes of hadal sediment-derived fungi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Deep-sea fungi have evolved extreme environmental adaptation and possess huge biosynthetic potential of bioactive compounds. However, not much is known about the biosynthesis and regulation of secondary metabolites of deep-sea fungi under extreme ...

Regulation of meiotic gene expression is functional in the human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata

FEMS Yeast Research
Abstract The human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is closely related to the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The sexual cycle in S. cerevisiae has been extensively characterized. Haploid cells ‘a’ and alpha secrete pheromones involved in mating of the opposite cell type leading to the formation of a diploid cell.

The Ustilago maydis Cys₂His₂‐type zinc finger transcription factor Mzr1 regulates fungal gene expression during the biotrophic growth stage [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2008
SummaryThe smut fungus Ustilago maydis establishes a biotrophic relationship with its host plant maize to progress through sexual development. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the Cys2His2‐type zinc finger protein Mzr1 that functions as a transcriptional activator during host colonization. Expression of the U.

Transcriptome analysis of silkworm, Bombyx mori, during early response to Beauveria bassiana challenges. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Host-pathogen interactions are complex processes and it is a central challenge to reveal these interactions. Fungal infection of silkworm, Bombyx mori, may induce a variety of responsive reaction. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of

Expression of a Serine Protease Gene prC Is Up-Regulated by Oxidative Stress in the Fungus Clonostachys rosea: Implications for Fungal Survival

PLoS ONE, 2010
Soil fungi face a variety of environmental stresses such as UV light, high temperature, and heavy metals. Adaptation of gene expression through transcriptional regulation is a key mechanism in fungal response to environmental stress. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the transcription factors Msn2/4 induce stress-mediated gene expression by binding to the ...

The Transcription Factor PoCon7 Is Essential for Fungal Viability and Regulates Chitinase Gene Expression in Penicillium oxalicum

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
The dynamic remodeling of the fungal cell wall depends on a balance between chitin synthesis and degradation. Chitinases are critical for nutrient acquisition, cell wall remodeling, and defense; yet, the upstream regulatory mechanisms controlling chitinase gene expression remain poorly understood.

The consciousness of stress: Functional roles of ORFs and MicroRNAs in tomato defense against fungal pathogens

Plant Stress
Tomato plants constantly encounter fungal pathogens, which trigger intricate defense mechanisms at the molecular level. Among these, upstream open reading frames (uORFs) and main open reading frames (mORFs), together with microRNAs (miRNAs), play pivotal
