The ubiquitous fungus Aspergillus flavus is notorious for contaminating many important
crops and food-stuffs with the carcinogenic mycotoxin, aflatoxin. This fungus is also the …

Abstract Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) are essential nutrients for both pathogens and hosts;
however, their excess accumulation is toxic for all cells. The Aspergillus transcription factor …

Most of the metal transporters in Aspergillus fumigatus are yet uncharacterized. Their role in
fungal metabolism and virulence remains unclear. This paper describes the novel P IB-type …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the leading cause of life-threatening invasive mold infections in
immunocompromised individuals. This ubiquitous saprophyte possesses several natural …

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element and is regarded as an important virulence factor
in fungal pathogens. Previous studies suggest that a putative Cu-sensing transcription factor …

The transition metals iron and copper are required by virtually all organisms but are toxic in
excess. Acquisition of both metals and resistance to copper excess have previously been …

Cu is an essential trace element for cell growth and proliferation. However, excess of Cu
accumulation leads to cellular toxicity. Thus, precise and tight regulation of Cu homeostasis …

Copper (Cu) is an essential metal for all living organisms, although it is toxic in excess.
Filamentous fungus must acquire copper from its environment for growth. Despite its …

Copper is an essential metal ion that performs many physiological functions in living
organisms. Deletion of Afmac1, which is a copper-responsive transcriptional activator in A …

Copper is an essential micronutrient for the opportunistic human pathogen, Aspergillus
fumigatus. Maintaining copper homeostasis is critical for survival and pathogenesis. Copper …
