Dihydroxynapthalene-(DHN) and L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) are two types of
dominant melanin in fungi. Fungal melanins with versatile functions are frequently …

The rice blast pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, spreads through spores and invades rice
through appressoria. Melanin is necessary for an appressorium to penetrate plant cells, but …

Pyricularia oryzae is a plant pathogenic fungus that severely affects rice production. Past
studies, primarily using mutants generated by spontaneous mutations or artificial physical …

Melanin is recognized as a dark pigment that can protect fungi from the harm of
environmental stresses. To investigate what roles of melanin played in the pathogenicity and …

Melanins are the common fungal pigment, which contribute to stress resistance and
pathogenesis. However, few studies have explored the regulation mechanism of its …

Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (Scad) mediated β-oxidation serves as the fastest
route for generating essential energies required to support the survival of organisms under …

A plant pathogenic fungus, Colletotrichum lagenarium, produces melanin in the
appressorium, a highly specialized infection structure. Appressorium melanization is …

Deubiquitination is an essential regulatory step in the Ub-dependent pathway.
Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) mediate the removal of ubiquitin moieties from substrate …

Human PTEN, a dual-phosphatase tumor suppressor, is frequently dysregulated by
alternative splicing. Fungi harbor PTEN homologs, but alternative splicing of fungal PTENs …

CmrA, as transcription factor for regulating DHN-melanin synthesis, controls melanin
synthesis gene expression, and also regulate growth, development, stress response and …
