The Aspergillus fumigatus UPR is variably activated across nutrient and host environments and is critical for the establishment of corneal infection.
The Aspergillus fumigatus unfolded protein response (UPR) is a two-component relay consisting of the ER-bound IreA protein, which splices and activates the mRNA of the transcription factor HacA. Spliced hacA accumulates under conditions of acute ER stress in vitro, and UPR null mutants are hypovirul...
