Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

A novel partitivirus orchestrates conidiation, stress response, pathogenicity, and secondary metabolism of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium majus

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2023
Mycoviruses are widely present in all major groups of fungi but those in entomopathogenic Metarhizium spp. remain understudied. In this investigation, a novel double-stranded (ds) RNA virus is isolated from Metarhizium majus and named Metarhizium majus ...
