The fungal UPR: A regulatory hub for virulence traits in the mold pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus
Open accessAbstract
Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic pathogen that is responsible for a life-threatening fungal infection known as invasive aspergillosis. Current therapies for the treatment of this disease continue to be associated with a poor outcome, so there is a need for more information about aspects of the fungus-host interaction that could offer novel targets for drug intervention. One attractive possibility is the unfolded protein response (UPR), an intracellular signaling network that helps the fungus meet the demand for secretion in the host environment. The major function of the UPR is to mitigate ER stress by maintaining an equilibrium between the load of client proteins entering the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the protein folding capacity of the organelle. However, recent findings suggest that A. fumigatus, as well as several other pathogenic fungi, also rely upon this pathway for virulence. In this review, we provide an update on the A. fumigatus UPR, discuss emerging evidence that the UPR is situated at the nexus of a number of physiological functions that are vital for the virulence of this fungus, and suggest exciting possibilities for future therapeutic targeting of this pathway for the treatment of aspergillosis.

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.
