Conserved cAMP signaling cascades regulate fungal development and virulence.
Two well characterized signal transduction cascades regulating fungal development and virulence are the MAP kinase and cAMP signaling cascades. Here we review the current state of knowledge on cAMP signaling cascades in fungi. While the processes regulated by cAMP signaling in fungi are as diverse as the fungi themselves, the components involved in signal transduction are remarkably conserved. ...
متن کاملSignal transduction cascades regulating fungal development and virulence.
Cellular differentiation, mating, and filamentous growth are regulated in many fungi by environmental and nutritional signals. For example, in response to nitrogen limitation, diploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergo a dimorphic transition to filamentous growth referred to as pseudohyphal differentiation. Yeast filamentous growth is regulated, in part, by two conserved signal...
متن کاملFungal Adenylyl Cyclase Integrates CO2 Sensing with cAMP Signaling and Virulence
The ascomycete Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen in immunocompromised patients . Its ability to change morphology, from yeast to filamentous forms, in response to host environmental cues is important for virulence . Filamentation is mediated by second messengers such as cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) synthesized by adenylyl cyclase . The distantly related basidiom...
متن کاملMitochondria regulate autophagy by conserved signaling pathways
Thank you for submitting your manuscript for consideration by The EMBO Journal. It has now been seen by three expert reviewers, whose comments are copied below. As you will see, all three reviewers find your results suggesting a regulatory link between mitochondria and autophagy upon amino acid starvation potentially interesting. However, especially referees 1 and 2 also raise a number of subst...
