Light regulates the degradation of the regulatory protein VE-1 in the fungus Neurospora crassa

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Fungi use light as an environmental signal to regulate developmental transitions that are key aspects of their biological cycles and that are also relevant for their dispersal and infectivity as plant or animal pathogens.

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 ...

Chromatin Dynamics Contribute to the Spatiotemporal Expression Pattern of Virulence Genes in a Fungal Plant Pathogen

mBio, 2020
Dynamic changes in transcription profiles are key for the success of pathogens in colonizing their hosts. In many pathogens, genes associated with virulence, such as effector genes, are located in regions of the genome that are rich in transposable ...

Histone H3 N-Terminal Lysine Acetylation Governs Fungal Growth, Conidiation, and Pathogenicity through Regulating Gene Expression in Fusarium pseudograminearum

Journal of Fungi
The acetylation of histone lysine residues regulates multiple life processes, including growth, conidiation, and pathogenicity in filamentous pathogenic fungi. However, the specific function of each lysine residue at the N-terminus of histone H3 in phytopathogenic fungi remains unclear.

Candida albicans induces Metabolic Reprogramming in human NK cells and responds to Perforin with a Zinc Depletion Response

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
As part of the innate immune system, natural killer (NK) cells are directly involved in the response to fungal infections. Perforin has been identified as the major effector molecule acting against many fungal pathogens.

Regulation of gene expression by acidic pH in an opportunistic human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans: modulating antifungal susceptibility and iron Uptake

, 2020
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen, but its infection is militated by phagocytosis and phagolysosomes in the host immune system. It has been reported that the pH of phagolysosomes containing C. neoformans is approximately 5.3.

Host's innate immune response to fungal and bacterial agents in vitro: up‐regulation of interleukin‐15 gene expression resulting in enhanced natural killer cell activity

Immunology, 2003
SummaryNatural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the first line of defence against viral infections. We have shown earlier that exposure of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to viruses results in rapid up‐regulation of NK cell activity via interleukin‐15 (IL‐15) induction, and that this mechanism curtails viral infection in ...

Single-Cell Transcript Profiling of Barley Attacked by the Powdery Mildew Fungus

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
In many plant-pathogen interactions, there are several possible outcomes for simultaneous attacks on the same leaf. For instance, an attack by the powdery mildew fungus on one barley leaf epidermal cell may succeed in infection and formation of a ...

Role and molecular mechanism of epigenetic regulation during the development and pathogenesis of plant pathogenic fungi

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版
Over a long period of evolution, plant pathogenic fungi have developed a wide range of intricate and sophisticated strategies to invade their host plants, and the precise regulation of gene expression is necessary for interactions between plants and ...

Novel Genes of Fusarium graminearum That Negatively Regulate Deoxynivalenol Production and Virulence

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2009
Fusarium head blight of wheat, caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a serious disease resulting in both reduced yields and contamination of grain with trichothecene toxins, with severe consequences for mammalian health. Recently, we have identified several
