Abstract excerpt
Aspergillus fumigatus is an important pathogen of immunocompromised hosts, causing pneumonia and invasive disseminated disease with high mortality. To determine the importance of the cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway for virulence, the pkaC1 gene encoding a protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic subunit was cloned and characterized. Deletion of pkaC1 led to reduced conidiation and growth. PKA activity was not...
