GliZ, a Transcriptional Regulator of Gliotoxin Biosynthesis, Contributes to<i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i>Virulence
21 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Gliotoxin is a nonribosomal peptide produced by Aspergillus fumigatus. This compound has been proposed as an A. fumigatus virulence factor due to its cytotoxic, genotoxic, and apoptotic properties. Recent identification of the gliotoxin gene cluster identified several genes (gli genes) likely involved in gliotoxin production, including gliZ, encoding a putative Zn(2)Cys(6) binuclear transcription factor....
