This study identifies three conserved arginine residues in the velvet DNA-binding region of Aspergillus nidulans VelB essential for function, showing their role in electrostatic interactions and DNA recognition.

This study shows that Blm10/PA200 activates 20S proteasomes to degrade α-synuclein and resist inhibition, improving proteostasis in Parkinson's disease models.

This study identifies Usp3 and Usp1 as critical deubiquitinases in Verticillium dahliae that regulate developmental processes and pathogenicity by modulating ubiquitination and gene expression.

The paper investigates the evolution of osmotic stress response pathways in plants by studying zygnematophytes and their homologous ABA-independent kinase systems.

This study identifies an NRPS-like gene cluster in Verticillium dahliae that modulates its adaptation to nutrient environments through differential gene expression and transcriptional regulation.

This paper identifies a fungal effector, UmPce3, that targets the chloroplast DEAD-box RNA helicase RH3 to manipulate chloroplast function, enhancing fungal pathogenesis while balancing plant stress responses.

This study identifies SclB as a key transcription factor regulating the transition from vegetative to asexual growth in Aspergillus nidulans by controlling gene expression of conidiation regulators.

Multi-omic profiling of unicellular Mesotaenium and filamentous Zygnema under osmotic and salt stress reveals a conserved protein and cell-wall remodeling chassis driving acclimation in land plants' closest algal relatives.

This paper identifies HbxB as a key regulator of asexual development and secondary metabolism in Aspergillus nidulans by mapping its genomic binding sites and target genes.

This study identifies diterpenoids as chemical attractants for C. graminicola oval conidia and shows that the CgSte3 receptor mediates their sensing, enabling root infection.

This study identifies a molecular circuit between MsnA and VelB in Aspergillus nidulans that coordinates stress responses with fungal development and secondary metabolism.

The paper shows that VeA, a fungal transcription factor, shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus during different developmental stages, with nuclear localization required for sexual development and cytoplasmic presence needed for asexual development.

The paper identifies the VelB intrinsically disordered domain's role in promoting selective heterodimer formation and regulating protein stability in fungal development.

The paper identifies a pathogen-secreted protein that reprograms plant cells to enhance drought resilience by inducing tracheary element formation.

Biotic and heat stress strongly alter the lipidome and proteome of Arabidopsis leaves, including lipid droplet proteome composition.

This study identifies key pathways regulating growth and virulence in Verticillium dahliae, highlighting the unfolded protein response, pheromone MAP kinase pathway, and oxylipin precursor formation as critical for pathogenesis.

This study identifies media-dependent secretome responses in Verticillium longisporum, revealing specific exoproteome patterns in plant-related environments and identifying Nlp2 and Nlp3 as key effectors for plant infection.

The paper investigates substrate-specific phosphorylation events in Neurospora crassa during early plant cell wall recognition using phospho-proteomics and identifies key signaling pathways and proteins involved.
