The flavoproteins CryD and VvdA cooperate with the white collar protein WcoA in the Control of photocarotenogenesis in Fusarium fujikuroi
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
Light stimulates carotenoid biosynthesis in the ascomycete fungus Fusarium fujikuroi through transcriptional activation of the structural genes of the pathway carRA, carB, and cart, but the molecular basis of this photoresponse ...

Controlled Transcription of Regulator Gene carS by Tet-on or by a Strong Promoter Confirms Its Role as a Repressor of Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Fusarium fujikuroi
(MDPI, 2020-12)
Carotenoid biosynthesis is a frequent trait in fungi. In the ascomycete Fusarium fujikuroi, the synthesis of the carboxylic xanthophyll neurosporaxanthin (NX) is stimulated by light. However, the mutants of the carS gene, ...

Identification and regulation of fusA, The polyketide synthase gene responsible for fusarin production in Fusarium fujikuroi
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)
Fusarins are a class of mycotoxins of the polyketide family produced by different Fusarium species, including the gibberellin- producing fungus Fusarium fujikuroi. Based on sequence comparisons between polyketide synthase ...

The CarO rhodopsin of the fungus Fusarium fujikuroi is a light-driven proton pump that retards spore germination
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
Rhodopsins are membrane-embedded photoreceptors found in all major taxonomic kingdoms using retinal as their chromophore. They play well-known functions in different biological systems, but their roles in fungi remain ...

Analysis of al-2 mutations in neurospora
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
The orange pigmentation of the fungus Neurospora crassa is due to the accumulation of the xanthophyll neurosporaxanthin and precursor carotenoids. Two key reactions in the synthesis of these pigments, the formation of ...

A global perspective on carotenoids: metabolism, biotechnology, and benefits for nutrition and health.
(Elsevier, 2018-04-04)
Carotenoids are lipophilic isoprenoid compounds synthesized by all photosynthetic organisms and some non-photosynthetic bacteria and fungi. With some notable exceptions, animals (including humans) do not produce carotenoids ...

Comparative transcriptomic analysis unveils interactions between the regulatory CarS protein and light response in Fusarium
(BMC, 2019)
Background The orange pigmentation of the agar cultures of many Fusarium species is due to the production of carotenoids, terpenoid pigments whose synthesis is stimulated by light. The genes of the carotenoid pathway and ...

Expansion of Signal Transduction Pathways in Fungi by Extensive Genome Duplication
(Elsevier, 2016)
Plants and fungi use light and other signals to regulate development, growth, and metabolism. The fruiting bodies of the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus are single cells that react to environmental cues, including light, ...

Adenylyl cyclase plays a regulatory role in development, stress resistance and secondary metabolism in Fusarium fujikuroi
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
The ascomycete fungus Fusarium fujikuroi (Gibberella fujikuroi MP-C) produces secondary metabolites of biotechnological interest, such as gibberellins, bikaverin, and carotenoids. Production of these metabolites is regulated ...

Strigolactone biosynthesis is evolutionarily conserved, regulated by phosphate starvation and contributes to resistance against phytopathogenic fungi in a moss, Physcomitrella patens
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017)
In seed plants, strigolactones (SLs) regulate architecture and induce mycorrhizal symbiosis in response to environmental cues. SLs are formed by combined activity of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) 7 and 8 from ...
