First Stereoselective Total Synthesis of (3)-De--methylbotryosphaeriodiplodin

Natural Product Communications, 2019
A simple and highly efficient first stereoselective total synthesis of a benzofused macrocyclic lactone, ( 3S,7R )-de- O -methylbotryosphaeriodiplodin has been accomplished utilizing Jacobson's kinetic resolution, Marouka asymmetric allylation, Stille ...

Aspergillus fumigatus melanins: Interference with the host endocytosis pathway and impact on virulence

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The opportunistic human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus produces at least two types of melanin, namely pyomelanin and dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin.

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

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.

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Optimized psilocybin production in tryptophan catabolism‐repressed fungi

Microbial Biotechnology
The high therapeutic potential of psilocybin, a prodrug of the psychotropic psilocin, holds great promise for the treatment of mental disorders such as therapy‐refractory depression, alcohol use disorder and anorexia nervosa.

Conidial dihydroxynaphthalene melanin of the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus interferes with the host endocytosis pathway

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important air-borne fungal pathogen of humans. The interaction of the pathogen with the host’s immune system represents a key process to understand pathogenicity.

Star products: a group-theoretical point of view

, 2009
Adopting a purely group-theoretical point of view, we consider the star product of functions which is associated, in a natural way, with a square integrable (in general, projective) representation of a locally compact group.

HIV‐1 establishes immediate latency in T cells expressing the viral Nef protein

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Nef is a viral protein often omitted from HIV‐1 reporter viruses. Consequently, its role in viral latency is unclear. We developed three novel dual reporter HIV‐1 derivatives that express Nef and allow for detection of latent and productive infection. Using these reporters, we show that Nef does not affect the establishment of immediate viral latency ...

Data-based reconstruction of gene regulatory networks of fungal pathogens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
In the emerging field of systems biology of fungal infection, one of the central roles belongs to the modelling of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). Utilising omics-data, GRNs can be predicted by mathematical modelling. Here, we review current advances of
