Abstract excerpt
Chitin is one of the major components of the fungal cell wall and contributes to the mechanical strength and shape of the fungal cell. Zn(II)2Cys6 transcription factors are unique to the fungal kingdom and have a variety of functions in some fungi. However, the mechanisms by which Zn(II)2Cys6 proteins affect entomopathogenic fungi are largely unknown. Here, we characterized the Zn(II)2Cys6 transcription factor...
