Identification of a gene encoding an HPr-like protein in Aspergillus fumigatus
J Med Vet Mycol.
1991.
Abstract
The gene encoding a histidine-containing protein (HPr)-like protein was identified in a cDNA library of Aspergillus fumigatus. The predicted amino acid sequence of the fungal HPr showed greater homology with HPr from Gram-positive bacteria than from Gram-negative bacteria. Since other components of the phosphoenolpyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase system have not been identified in eukaryotes, this raises the question of what regulatory function the HPr-like protein might have evolved in this fungus.
