Bordetella pertussis is the bacterial causative agent of whooping cough, a serious respiratory illness. An extensive knowledge on its virulence regulation and metabolism is a key factor to ensure pertussis vaccine manufacturing process robustness. The aim of this study was to refine our ...
Pmk1, a highly conserved pathogenicity-related mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in pathogenic fungi, is phosphorylated and activated by MAP2K and acts as a global regulator of fungal infection and invasive growth by modulating downstream targets. However, the hierarchical CcPmk1 regulatory...
