Mapping of the Lassa virus LAMP1 binding site reveals unique determinants not shared by other old world arenaviruses.

abstract：:The Aspergillus fumigatus sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) SrbA belongs to the basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors and is crucial for antifungal drug resistance and virulence. The latter phenotype is especially striking, as loss of SrbA results in complete loss of virulence i...
