Ferrochelatase is a conserved downstream target of the blue light-sensing White collar complex in fungi.
(Microbiology, 2010-08)Light is a universal signal perceived by organisms, including fungi, in which light regulates common and unique biological processes depending on the species. Previous research has established that conserved proteins, originally ... -
Interaction of Cryptococcus neoformans Rim101 and protein kinase A regulates capsule.
(PLoS Pathog, 2010-02-19)Cryptococcus neoformans is a prevalent human fungal pathogen that must survive within various tissues in order to establish a human infection. We have identified the C. neoformans Rim101 transcription factor, a highly conserved ... -
Mechanisms that ensure monogamous mating in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
(Molecular biology of the cell, 2021-04)Haploid cells of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae communicate using secreted pheromones and mate to form diploid zygotes. Mating is monogamous, resulting in the fusion of precisely one cell of each mating type. ... -
Morphological and genomic characterization of Filobasidiella depauperata: a homothallic sibling species of the pathogenic cryptococcus species complex.
(PLoS One, 2010-03-10)The fungal species Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii cause respiratory and neurological disease in animals and humans following inhalation of basidiospores or desiccated yeast cells from the environment. Sexual ... -
Prevalent mutator genotype identified in fungal pathogen Candida glabrata promotes multi-drug resistance.
(Nature communications, 2016-03)The fungal pathogen Candida glabrata has emerged as a major health threat since it readily acquires resistance to multiple drug classes, including triazoles and/or echinocandins. Thus far, cellular mechanisms promoting the ... -
Structure, function, and phylogeny of the mating locus in the Rhizopus oryzae complex.
(PLoS One, 2010-12-09)The Rhizopus oryzae species complex is a group of zygomycete fungi that are common, cosmopolitan saprotrophs. Some strains are used beneficially for production of Asian fermented foods but they can also act as opportunistic ... -
The prevalence and regulation of antisense transcripts in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
(PLoS One, 2010-12-20)A strand-specific transcriptome sequencing strategy, directional ligation sequencing or DeLi-seq, was employed to profile antisense transcriptome of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Under both normal and heat shock conditions, ...
