Ustilago maydis disrupts carbohydrate signaling networks to induce hypertrophy in host cells

Yoon Joo Lee, Dong Zhang, Sara Christina Stolze, Georgios I. Saridis, Malaika K. Ebert, Hirofumi Nakagami, Gunther Doehlemann

This study identifies Hap1 as a virulence factor in Ustilago maydis that disrupts host carbohydrate signaling to induce hypertrophy by targeting SnRK1 and altering metabolic pathways.

Comparative transcriptional analysis reveals gene expression changes in spore germination of opportunistic pathogenic fungi

Da‐Woon Kim, Malaika K. Ebert, Soumya S. Moonjely, Zheng Wang, Oded Yarden, Jeffrey P. Townsend, Frances Trail

This study compares gene expression during spore germination across fungal pathogens and non-pathogens to identify expression divergence linked to pathogenicity.
