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 …

Fusarium proliferatum is the principal etiological agent of rice spikelet rot disease (RSRD) in
China, causing yield losses and fumonisins contamination in rice. The intraspecific …

Calcium and manganese transporters play important roles in regulating Ca2+ and Mn2+
homeostasis in cells, which is necessary for the normal physiological activities of …

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 …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the leading cause of severe mold infections in
immunocompromised patients. This common fungus possesses innate attributes that allow it …

Copper homeostasis mechanisms are essential for microbial adaption to changing copper
levels within the host during infection. In the opportunistic fungal pathogen Cryptococcus …

Contamination of maize (Zea mays) with fumonisins produced by the fungus Fusarium
verticillioides is a global concern for food safety. Fumonisins are a group of polyketide …

Trichothecene mycotoxins, such as deoxynivalenol (DON) produced by the fungal pathogen,
Fusarium graminearum, are not only important for plant infection but are also harmful to …

Abstract Background and Aims Fusarium crown rot caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium
pseudograminearum is a disease of wheat and barley, bearing significant economic cost …

Covering: up to the end of 2009 Metal transport systems are broadly utilized to maintain low
levels of metals to prevent cellular malfunction caused by an overabundance of metals. The …
