Ire1-triggered hxl1 mRNA splicing coordinates stress tolerance and virulence in the pathogenic fungus Trichosporon asahii

Yuta Shimizu, Yasuhiko Matsumoto, Takashi Sugita

This study shows that Ire1-triggered hxl1 mRNA splicing in Trichosporon asahii enhances stress tolerance and virulence by regulating antioxidant gene expression.

Calcineurin-responsive zinc finger 1 (Crz1) contributes to stress tolerance and virulence in the pathogenic fungus Trichosporon asahii

Yuta Shimizu, Yasuhiko Matsumoto, Takashi Sugita

This study shows that Crz1 in Trichosporon asahii is involved in stress tolerance and virulence, but its role is smaller than that of calcineurin.

Role of Atg1 in morphologic changes of the pathogenic fungus Trichosporon asahii

Mei Nakayama, Yasuhiko Matsumoto, Sanae Kurakado, Takashi Sugita

This study investigates the role of Atg1 in morphologic changes of Trichosporon asahii, finding it regulates dimorphic forms but not stress tolerance or virulence.

Targeting dermatophyte Cdc42 and Rac GTPase signaling to hinder hyphal elongation and virulence

Masaki Ishii, Yasuhiko Matsumoto, Tsuyoshi Yamada, Hideko Uga, Toshiaki Katada, Shinya Ohata

This study identifies Cdc42 and Rac GTPase inhibition as a strategy to block hyphal elongation and virulence in Trichophyton rubrum, with EHop-016 showing promise as an antifungal lead.
