Cellular differentiation, mating, and filamentous growth are regulated in many fungi by
environmental and nutritional signals. For example, in response to nitrogen limitation …

MAP kinases in eukaryotic cells are well known for transducing a variety of extracellular
signals to regulate cell growth and differentiation. Recently, MAP kinases homologous to the …

MAP (mitogen-activated protein) kinase-mediated pathways are key elements in sensing
and transmitting the response of cells to environmental conditions by the sequential action of …

In Magnaporthe grisea, a well-conserved mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase gene,
PMK1, is essential for fungal pathogenesis. In this study, we tested whether the same MAP …

In recent years, the incidence of fungal infections has been rising all over the world.
Although the amount of research in the field of pathogenic fungi has also increased, there is …

MAP kinases are dual phosphorylated protein kinases, present in eukaryotes, which
mediate differentiation programs and immune responses in mammalian cells. In pathogenic …

Thermal adaptation is essential in all organisms. In yeasts, the heat shock response is
commanded by the heat shock transcription factor Hsf1. Here we have integrated unbiased …

Human fungal pathogens are associated with diseases ranging from dandruff and skin
colonization to invasive bloodstream infections. The major human pathogens belong to the …

We have characterized the role that the Msb2 protein plays in the fungal pathogen Candida
albicans by the use of mutants defective in the putative upstream components of the HOG …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen that has adapted to live and grow in the
human body as its natural environment. Under these conditions, this fungus faces numerous …
