DNA Methylation on N6-Adenine Regulates the Hyphal Development During Dimorphism in the Early-Diverging Fungus <em>Mucor lusitanicus</em>
2021-07-23
Abstract excerpt
The epigenetic modifications control the pathogenicity of human pathogenic fungi, which have been poorly studied in Mucorales; causative agents of mucormycosis. This order belongs to a group referred to as early-diverging fungi that are characterized by high levels of N6-methyldeoxyadenine (6mA) in their genome with dense 6mA clusters associated with actively expressed genes. AlkB enzymes can act as demethylases o...
