tRNA hypomodification facilitates 5-fluorocytosine resistance via cross-pathway control system activation in Aspergillus fumigatus.

Alexander Bruch, Valentina Lazarova, Maximilian Berg, Thomas Krüger, Sascha Schäuble, Abdulrahman A. Kelani, Birte Mertens, Pamela Lehenberger, Olaf Kniemeyer, Stefanie Kaiser, Gianni Panagiotou, Fabio Gsaller, Matthew G. Blango

This study shows that tRNA hypomodification in Aspergillus fumigatus leads to 5-fluorocytosine resistance through premature activation of a cross-pathway control system.
