Abstract: BACKGROUND Locusts and grasshoppers are pests of many agricultural crops, and their frequent outbreaks worldwide threaten food security. Microbial control agents are currently used to suppress the early (nymphal) stages of pests, but they are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2018.09.186
Abstract: Studies in yeasts have implicated the importance of Kin1 protein kinase, a member of the eukaryotic PAR1/MARK/MELK family, in polarized growth, cell division and septation through coordinated activity with the phosphatase, calcineurin. Kin1 is also… read more here.

Abstract: The β-class of carbonic anhydrases (β-CAs) are zinc metalloenzymes widely distributed in the fungal kingdom that play essential roles in growth, survival, differentiation, and virulence by catalyzing the reversible interconversion of–carbon dioxide (CO2) and bicarbonate… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof8121281
Abstract: Calcineurin (CN) is an attractive antifungal target as it is critical for growth, stress response, drug resistance, and virulence in fungal pathogens. The immunosuppressive drugs, tacrolimus (FK506) and cyclosporin A (CsA), are fungistatic and specifically… read more here.
