Unlocking the Siderophore Biosynthesis Pathway and Its Biological Functions in the Fungal Insect Pathogen .

Siderophores are small molecule iron chelators. The entomopathogenic fungus produces a plethora of siderophores under iron-limiting conditions. In this study, a siderophore biosynthesis pathway, akin to the general pathway observed in filamentous fungi, was revealed in .

Functional insights of three RING-finger peroxins in the life cycle of the insect pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana.

Peroxisomes play important roles in fungal physiological processes. The RING-finger complex consists of peroxins Pex2, Pex10, and Pex12 and is essential for recycling of receptors responsible for peroxisomal targeting of matrix proteins. In this study, these three peroxins were functionally characterized in the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bb).

Pseudogene MSTO2P enhances hypoxia-induced osteosarcoma malignancy by upregulating PD-L1.

Hypoxia has been shown to be related to osteosarcoma development and progression. Pseudogene MSTO2P was reported to be dysregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer. However, the mechanism by which MSTO2P-modulated osteosarcoma remains unclear.
