Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for early diagnosis of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015 Prompt detection and identification of fungal pathogens at the genus and species level is critical in order to provide timely antifungal therapy. Here, we highlight the vital role of molecular diagnostics in achieving a fast and definitive diagnosis of ...

Contamination inside CT gantry in the SARS-CoV-2 era
European Radiology Experimental, 2020 We investigated whether the internal gantry components of our computed tomography (CT) scanner contain severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ribonucleic acid (RNA), bacterial or fungal agents.

Further analysis of barley MORC1 using a highly efficient RNA-guided Cas9 gene-editing system [PDF]
, 2018 Summary Microrchidia (MORC) proteins comprise a family of proteins that have been identified in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They are defined by two hallmark domains: a GHKL-type ATPase and an S5-fold.

Fungal negative-stranded RNA virus that is related to bornaviruses and nyaviruses [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi and replicate in fungi. Previously, no mycoviruses had been discovered with negative-stranded (−)ssRNA genomes. Here, we characterize a (−)ssRNA mycovirus that infects a fungal plant pathogen.

PLOS Pathogens, 2023 Small RNAs act as fungal pathogen effectors that silence host target genes to promote infection, a virulence mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi). The essential pathogen factors of cross-kingdom small RNA production are largely unknown. We here characterized the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RDR)1 in the fungal plant pathogen Botrytis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 In filamentous fungi, gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) shapes many biological processes, including pathogenicity. We explored the requirement of key components of fungal RNAi machineries, including DICER-like 1 and 2 (FgDCL1, FgDCL2 ...

Adaptive genomic structural variation in the grape powdery mildew pathogen, Erysiphe necator. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundPowdery mildew, caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Erysiphe necator, is an economically important disease of grapevines worldwide. Large quantities of fungicides are used for its control, accelerating the incidence of fungicide-resistance.

Viroid-like RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-encoding ambiviruses are abundant in complex fungi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Ambiviruses are hybrid infectious elements encoding the hallmark gene of RNA viruses, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and self-cleaving RNA ribozymes found in many viroids.

A Conserved Mechanism of RNA Substrate Recognition and Cleavage by Fungal Dicers [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 Dicer is a central enzyme for processing small RNAs in RNA interference. It is able to cleave both hairpin and long double-stranded RNA precursors into microRNAs and small interfering RNAs respectively. While humans have one Dicer that is able to process both substrates, many organisms have multiple copies.
