The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

The nucleobase-ascorbate transporter or nucleobase-cation symporter-2 (NAT/NCS2) family
is one of the five known families of transporters that use nucleobases as their principal …

Membrane proteins have a range of crucial biological functions and are the target of about
60% of all prescribed drugs. For most studies, they need to be extracted out of the lipid …

Background The industrially important yeast Blastobotrys (Arxula) adeninivorans is an
asexual hemiascomycete phylogenetically very distant from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its …

Colletotrichum higginsianum is an important fungal pathogen causing anthracnose disease
of cruciferous plants. In this study, we characterized a putative orthologue of yeast SPE1 in …

Degradation of purines to uric acid is generally conserved among organisms, however, the
end product of uric acid degradation varies from species to species depending on the …

During infection, pathogens must utilise the available nutrient sources in order to grow while
simultaneously evading or tolerating the host's defence systems. Amino acids are an …

Increasing incidences of human disease, crop destruction and ecosystem perturbations are
attributable to fungi and threaten socioeconomic progress and food security on a global …

The ubiquitous nucleobase-ascorbate transporter (NAT/NCS2) family includes more than
2,000 members, but only 15 have been characterized experimentally. Escherichia coli has …

While members of the Kingdom Fungi are found across many of the world's most hostile
environments, only a limited number of species can thrive within the human host. The …
