Filamentous fungi produce a number of small bioactive molecules as part of their secondary
metabolism ranging from benign antibiotics such as penicillin to threatening mycotoxins …

Cells reprogram gene expression in response to environmental changes by mobilizing
transcriptional activators. The activator protein Gcn4 of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

The aspergilli comprise a diverse group of filamentous fungi spanning over 200 million
years of evolution. Here we report the genome sequence of the model organism Aspergillus …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi are a significant threat to economic and food security worldwide.
Novel protection strategies are required and therefore it is critical we understand the …

Phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) is an important mechanism regulating
global and gene-specific translation in response to different environmental stresses. Central …

Background Combating the action of plant pathogenic microorganisms by mycoparasitic
fungi has been announced as an attractive biological alternative to the use of chemical …

Fungal pathogens must assimilate local nutrients to establish an infection in their
mammalian host. We focus on carbon, nitrogen, and micronutrient assimilation mechanisms …

Background Gene regulation underlies fungal physiology and therefore is a major factor in
fungal biodiversity. Analysis of genome sequences has revealed a large number of putative …

We review how the expression of fungal mRNAs can be controlled by ribosome interactions
with short upstream open reading frames (uORFs) within the 5′ untranslated region. The …

We have cloned and characterized the Aspergillus fumigatus cpcA gene encoding the
transcriptional activator of the cross‐pathway control system of amino acid biosynthesis …
