Abstract

A functional calcineurin A fusion to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), CnaA-EGFP, was expressed in the Aspergillus fumigatus DeltacnaA mutant. CnaA-EGFP localized in actively growing hyphal tips, at the septa, and at junctions between the vesicle and phialides in an actin-dependent manner. This is the first study to implicate calcineurin in septum formation and conidiophore development of a filamentous fungus.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
