Abstract

This study determined the function of thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems in the phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata via analyzing mutants obtained from the targeted deletion of genes encoding thioredoxin peroxidase (Tsa1), thioredoxin reductase (Trr1), and glutathione reductase (Glr1). Trr1 and Glr1, but not Tsa1, are required for growth and conidiation. The reduced growth and conidiation seen in the Trr1 or Glr1 deletion mutant can be restored by glutathione. Deletion mutants showing growth inhibition by oxidants are defective for H2O2 detoxification and induce smaller lesions on citrus leaves. Trr1 and Glr1, but not Tsa1, also contribute to NaCl resistance. Glr1 is required for sorbitol resistance and is responsible for resistance to mancozeb and boscalid but not chlorothalonil fungicides, a novel phenotype that has not been reported in fungi. Trr1 is required for resistance to boscalid and chlorothalonil fungicides but confers susceptibility to mancozeb. The Tsa1 deletion mutant displays wild-type sensitivity to the tested fungicides. The expression of Tsa1 and Trr1 is regulated by the oxidative stress responsive regulators Yap1, Hog1, and Skn7. The expression of Tsa1, but not Trr1, is also regulated indirectly by ...Continue Reading

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
