Abstract Background The fungal genus Aspergillus is of critical importance to humankind.
Species include those with industrial applications, important pathogens of humans, animals …

Plasma membrane transporters play pivotal roles in the import of nutrients, including sugars,
amino acids, nucleobases, carboxylic acids, and metal ions, that surround fungal cells. The …

Transporters are transmembrane proteins mediating the selective uptake or efflux of solutes,
metabolites, drugs, or ions across cellular membranes. Despite their immense biological …

NCS 1 proteins are H+/Na+ symporters specific for the uptake of purines, pyrimidines and
related metabolites. In this article, we study the origin, diversification and substrate specificity …

Transporters mediate the uptake of solutes, metabolites and drugs across the cell
membrane. The eukaryotic FurE nucleobase/H+ symporter of Aspergillus nidulans has been …

We investigated the role of all arrestin‐like proteins of A spergillus nidulans in respect to
growth, morphology, sensitivity to drugs and specifically for the endocytosis and turnover of …

Transport assays allow the direct kinetic analysis of a specific transporter by measuring
apparent K m and V max values, and permit the characterization of substrate specificity …

The recent elucidation of crystal structures of a bacterial member of the NCS1 family, the
Mhp1 benzyl-hydantoin permease from Microbacterium liquefaciens, allowed us to construct …

This work reports the evolutionary relationships, amplified expression, functional
characterization and purification of the putative allantoin transport protein, PucI, from …

Coevolution between hosts and pathogens generates strong selection pressures to maintain
resistance and infectivity, respectively. Genomes of plant pathogens often encode major …
