Messenger RNA transport in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans [PDF]
Current Genetics, 2017 Candida albicans, a common commensal fungus, can cause disease in immunocompromised hosts ranging from mild mucosal infections to severe bloodstream infections with high mortality rates. The ability of C. albicans cells to switch between a budding yeast form and an elongated hyphal form is linked to pathogenicity in animal models.

Plasmid-like dynamics of persistent RNA viruses in the host fungal population
Journal of VirologyUnlike the well-known acute or chronic animal and plant RNA viruses, most fungal RNA viruses (RNA mycoviruses) have a persistent life cycle. They lack an extracellular infection route and coexist with their hosts for a lifetime.

Microorganisms, 2021 Cordyceps militaris is an entomopathogenic ascomycete, known primarily for infecting lepidopteran larval (caterpillars) and pupal hosts. Cordycepin, a secondary metabolite produced by this fungus has anti-inflammatory properties and other pharmacological

mBio, 2022 Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide in plant biomass and an important precursor of soil organic matter formation. Fungi play a key role in carbon cycling dynamics because they tend to decompose recalcitrant materials.

The evolution of novel fungal genes from non-retroviral RNA viruses [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2009 Endogenous derivatives of non-retroviral RNA viruses are thought to be absent or rare in eukaryotic genomes because integration of RNA viruses in host genomes is impossible without reverse transcription. However, such derivatives have been proposed for animals, plants and fungi, often based on surrogate bioinformatic evidence.

Long Non-Coding RNAs in Cryptococcus neoformans: Insights Into Fungal Pathogenesis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are highly expressed and can modulate multiple cellular processes including transcription, splicing, translation, and many diverse signaling events. LncRNAs can act as sponges for miRNAs, RNA and DNA binding proteins, functioning as competitive endogenous RNAs.

Computational Tools: RNA Interference in Fungal Therapeutics
, 2018 There is steady rise in the number of immunocompromised population due to increased use of potent immunosuppression therapies. This is associated with increased risk of acquiring fungal opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients which account for high morbidity and mortality rates, if left untreated.

The Expanding Mycovirome of Aspergilli
Journal of FungiMycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi and are widespread across all major fungal taxa, exhibiting great biological diversity. Since their discovery in the 1960s, researchers have observed a myriad of fungal phenotypes altered due to mycoviral ...
