Abstract
ABSTRACT
The
Aspergillus nidulans
putative mitogen-activated protein kinase encoded by
mpkB
has a role in natural product biosynthesis. An
mpkB
mutant exhibited a decrease in sterigmatocystin gene expression and low mycotoxin levels. The mutation also affected the expression of genes involved in penicillin and terrequinone A synthesis.
mpkB
was necessary for normal expression of
laeA
, which has been found to regulate secondary metabolism gene clusters.
