• A PR-1-like Protein of Fusarium oxysporum Functions in Virulence on Mammalian Hosts 

      Prados Rosales, Rafael; Roldán-Rodríguez, Raquel; Serena, Carolina; Sánchez López-Berges, M.; Guarro, Josep; Martínez-del-Pozo, Álvaro; Di Pietro, Antonio (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Online, 2012)
      The pathogenesis-related PR-1-like protein family comprises secreted proteins from the animal, plant, and fungal kingdoms whose biological function remains poorly understood. Here we have characterized a PR-1-like protein, ...
    • HapX-Mediated Iron Homeostasis Is Essential for Rhizosphere Competence and Virulence of the Soilborne Pathogen Fusarium oxysporum 

      Sánchez López-Berges, M.; Capilla, Javier; Turrà, David; Schafferer, Lukas; Matthijs, Sandra; Jöchl, Christoph; Cornelis, Pierre; Guarro, Josep; Haas, Hubertus; Di Pietro, Antonio (ASPB, 2012)
      Soilborne fungal pathogens cause devastating yield losses and are highly persistent and difficult to control. During the infection process, these organisms must cope with limited availability of iron. Here we show that the ...
    • How alkalinization drives fungal pathogenicity 

      Ribeiro Fernandes, Tânia Alícia; Segorbe, David; Prusky, Dov; Di Pietro, Antonio (Public Library of Science, 2017)
      pH governs most, if not all, processes of life. In fungi, ambient pH acts as a potent regulator of growth and development [1]. Studies conducted primarily in the 2 model organisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus ...
    • Role of urease in pH modulation and virulence of Fusarium oxysporum 

      Schäfer, Katja (Universidad de Córdoba, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2014)
      La patogénesis fúngica en plantas requiere la participación de una cascada de proteína quinasas activadas por mitógenos (MAPK) altamente conservada, ortóloga a la ruta MAPK que regula el crecimiento filamentoso en levadura. ...
