Abstract

The Aspergillus nidulans xlnR gene encodes a Zn(2)Cys(6) transcription activator necessary for the synthesis of the main xylanolytic enzymes, i.e. endo-xylanases X(22), X(24) and X(34), and beta-xilosidase XlnD. Expression of xlnR is not sufficient for induction of genes encoding the xylanolytic complex, the presence of xylose is absolutely required. It has been established previously that the wide-domain carbon catabolite repressor CreA indirectly represses xlnA (encodes X(22)) and xlnB (encodes X(24)) genes as well as exerting direct repression on xlnA. This work provides evidence that CreA-mediated indirect repression occurs through repression of xlnR: (i) the xlnR gene promoter is repressed by glucose and this repression is abolished in creA(d)30 mutant strains and (ii) deregulated expression of xlnR completely relieves glucose repression of xlnA and xlnB. Thus, CreA and XlnR form a transcriptional cascade regulating A. nidulans xylanolytic genes.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
