ABSTRACT Several P1B-type ATPases are important Cd2+/Cu2+ pumps in Aspergillus
species, and they are tightly associated with the heavy metal stress tolerance of these …

Fungal infections are responsible for millions of human deaths annually. Copper, an
essential but toxic trace element, plays an important role at the host-pathogen axis during …

Recent findings suggest that both host and pathogen manipulate copper content in infected
host niches during infections. In this review, we summarize recent developments that …

The maintenance of sufficient but nontoxic pools of metal micronutrients is accomplished
through diverse homeostasis mechanisms in fungi. Siderophores play a well established …

This review aims at the biotechnological evaluation of the wealth of data accumulated in the
last decade on the molecular background of the toxic metal/metalloid tolerance of fungi …

We investigated the copper metabolism of Aspergillus fumigatus, which has not been
characterized well. We cloned the putative copper transporters ctrA 2 and ctrC from A …

The host range for Aspergillus fumigatus is wide, including mammals, aves, and insecta
(stonebrood). This is linked to the significant adaptability of this important fungal pathogen. It …

The trace element copper is indispensable for all aerobic life forms. Its ability to cycle
between two oxidation states, Cu 1+ and Cu 2+, has been harnessed by a wide array of …

Copper (Cu) tolerance was well understood in fungi yeasts but not in filamentous fungi.
Filamentous fungi are eukaryotes but unlike eukaryotic fungi yeasts, which are a collection …

Histoplasma capsulatum is a thermodimorphic fungus that causes histoplasmosis, a mycosis
of global incidence. The disease is prevalent in temperate and tropical regions such as …
