Diversification of fungal chitinases and their functional differentiation in Histoplasma capsulatum

K. D. Goughenour, J. Whalin, J. Slot, C. A. Rappleye

This study analyzes fungal chitinase diversity and function, revealing that previous clade classifications are not supported and that chitinase activity varies within sub-clades.

Repeated gain and loss of a single gene modulates the evolution of vascular pathogen lifestyles

E. Gluck-Thaler, A. Cerutti, A. Perez Quintero, J. Butchacas, V. Roman-Reyna, V. Narayanan Madhaven, D. Shantharaj, M. V. Merfa, C. Pesce, A. Jauneau, J. M. Lang, C. Allen, V. Verdier, L. Gagnevin, B. Szurek, , J. M. Jacobs

The paper shows that the gene cbsA acts as a switch for vascular vs. non-vascular pathogenesis in bacteria, with its presence and absence linked to lifestyle evolution.

Fungal adaptation to plant defenses through convergent assembly of metabolic modules

E. Gluck-Thaler, V. Vijayakumar, J. Slot

This study investigates how fungi adapt to plant defenses by convergently assembling metabolic modules, showing that genome structural rearrangements and enzyme modularity are key to metabolic adaptation.
