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

Aspergillus fumigatus can cause severe invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised
individuals. Copper, an essential but potentially toxic trace element for A. fumigatus, plays a …

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 …

Relatively few transcription factors that govern the virulence of Aspergillus fumigatus are
known. We constructed 11 A. fumigatus transcription factor mutants and screened them for …

ABSTRACT In Aspergillus nidulans, the AcuK and AcuM transcription factors form a complex
that regulates gluconeogenesis. In Aspergillus fumigatus, AcuM governs gluconeogenesis …

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important pathogenic fungus
among Aspergillus species associated with aspergillosis. A. fumigatus is exposed to diverse …

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

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 …

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 …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common cause of invasive aspergillosis, a life-threatening
infection mainly affecting immunocompromised patients. The essential metals copper and …
