Abstract:
A functional calcineurin A fusion to GFP (CnaA-EGFP) was expressed in the Aspergillus fumigatus ΔcnaA 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.
