AbaA and WetA govern distinct stages of Aspergillus fumigatus development.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Feb 2011

Tao Li, Yu Jae-Hyuk

Abstract excerpt

The opportunistic human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus produces a massive number of asexual spores (conidia) as the primary means of dispersal, survival, genome protection and infection of hosts. In this report, we investigate the functions of two developmental regulators, AfuAbaA and AfuWetA, in A. fumigatus. The AfuabaA gene is predicted to encode an ATTS/TEA DNA-binding domain protein and is activated by...
