Funded Activity Summary

Regulation of nuclear localisation of the AreA transcription factor in Aspergillus nidulans. An understanding of the means by which the expression of genes is regulated is of fundamental significance. Changes in gene expression are central to the development, growth and viability of all cells and their response to environmental changes/stresses. This study uses the fungus Aspergillus nidulans as an excellent molecular genetic tool to investigate how a key regulatory protein controls gene expression in response to nitrogen starvation stress. Our understanding of these dynamic processes informs our approaches to the development of cancer therapies, to commercial biotechnology application and to control of human, plant and animal pathogens in which the infectious process is triggered by environmental stress.
