malfunction | T6PP mutant OrlA displays severe morphological defects related to asexual reproduction when grown on glucose minimal medium. The production of conidia is highly reduced in the temperature-sensitive mutant. The defects can be rescued partially by growth at below 30°C and fully by addition of osmotic stabilizers, e.g. 1.2 M sorbitol or 1% glycerol, reduction in incubation temperature or increase in glucose levels. The orlA mutant is virtually avirulent in two distinct murine models of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, mutant hyphae are clearly dysmorphic with shorter length compartments between septa and truncated hyphal tips with knobby, abnormal branching, phenotype, overview | Aspergillus fumigatus |
metabolism | Aspergillus fumigatus contains two trehalose phosphorylases that may be responsible for trehalose production in the absence of OrlA, potential activation of trehalose phosphorylase enzymes by depleted free Pi levels in the orlA mutant, overview | Aspergillus fumigatus |
physiological function | trehalose 6-phosphate phosphatase is required for cell wall integrity and fungal virulence but not trehalose biosynthesis. The trehalose biosynthesis pathway is critical for virulence in human and plant fungal pathogens. Cell wall biosynthesis and trehalose 6-phosphate levels are linked | Aspergillus fumigatus |
