Associations of Aspergillus with chemical compounds

  • In addition, capu shares both a proline-rich region and a 70-amino-acid domain with a number of other genes, two of which also function in pattern formation, the Saccharomyes cerevisiae BNI1 gene and the Aspergillus FigA gene [28].
  • The Aspergillus nidulans fluG gene is required for production of an extracellular developmental signal and is related to prokaryotic glutamine synthetase I [29].
  • The members of the fungal genus Aspergillus are commonly used for the production of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes [30].
  • A patient with Aspergillus pneumonia was treated with a synergistic combination of amphotericin B and flucytosine [31].
  • Aspergillus fumigatus, growing saprophytically in bronchial mucus, is responsible for most cases, and prednisone, not antifungal agents, is the drug of choice because it controls the immunologic responses of the lung [32].
 

Gene context of Aspergillus

  • In Aspergillus nidulans, the LIS1 homolog, NUDF, and cytoplasmic dynein are genetically linked and regulate nuclear movements during hyphal growth [33].
  • Nek2 (for NIMA-related kinase 2) is a mammalian cell cycle-regulated kinase structurally related to the mitotic regulator NIMA of Aspergillus nidulans [34].
  • Identification and molecular analysis of a third Aspergillus nidulans alcohol dehydrogenase gene [35].
  • Suppression of the bimC4 mitotic spindle defect by deletion of klpA, a gene encoding a KAR3-related kinesin-like protein in Aspergillus nidulans [36].
  • The sequence and binding specificity of UaY, the specific regulator of the purine utilization pathway in Aspergillus nidulans, suggest an evolutionary relationship with the PPR1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [37].
