The 14-3-3 homolog, ArtA, regulates development and secondary metabolism in the opportunistic plant pathogen Aspergillus flavus.

This study reports a 14-3-3 protein affecting secondary metabolism in filamentous fungi. Importantly, artA regulates the biosynthesis of the potent carcinogenic compound AFB1 as well as the production of other secondary metabolites. PMID: 29247055 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
