Regulation of Development in Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus
Members of the genus Aspergillus are the most common fungi and all reproduce asexually by forming long chains of conidiospores (or conidia). The impact of various Aspergillus species on humans ranges from beneficial to harmful. For example, several species including Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger are used in industry for enzyme production and food processing. In contrast, Aspergillus ...
متن کاملDifferential Kinetics of Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus Phagocytosis.
Invasive aspergillosis mainly occurs in immunocompromised patients and is commonly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, while A.nidulans is rarely the causative agent. However, in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients, A. nidulans is a frequent cause of invasive aspergillosis and is associated with higher mortality. Immune recognition of A. nidulans was compared to A. fumigatus to offer an i...
متن کاملPersistence versus Escape: Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus fumigatus Employ Different Strategies during Interactions with Macrophages
Invasive bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (IBPA) is a life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. Although Aspergillus terreus is frequently found in the environment, A. fumigatus is by far the main cause of IBPA. However, once A. terreus establishes infection in the host, disease is as fatal as A. fumigatus infections. Thus, we hypothesized that the initial steps of disease establish...
متن کاملApparent mRNA instability in Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus terreus of a heterologous cDNA encoding the major capsid antigen of Rotavirus.
Two expression plasmids designed to produce the rotaviral VP6 protein in Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus terreus have been constructed. In one of these plasmids the inducible A. terreus Gla1 glucoamylase gene promoter and Gla1 signal sequence are fused to the VP6 cDNA to enable induction and extracellular secretion of the final protein product; in the other, the strong, constitutive A. nid...
متن کاملGβ-Like CpcB Plays a Crucial Role for Growth and Development of Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus
Growth, development, virulence and secondary metabolism in fungi are governed by heterotrimeric G proteins (G proteins). A Gβ-like protein called Gib2 has been shown to function as an atypical Gβ in Gpa1-cAMP signaling in Cryptococcus neoformans. We found that the previously reported CpcB (cross pathway control B) protein is the ortholog of Gib2 in Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus...
