Abstract
|
Acetylation of histone lysine residues occurs in different
organisms ranging from yeast to plants and mammals
for the regulation of diverse cellular processes. With
the identification of enzymes that create or reverse this
modification, our understanding on histone acetylation
has expanded at an amazing pace during the last two
decades. In fungal pathogens of plants, however, the
importance of such modification has only just begun to
be appreciated in the recent years and there is a dearth
of information on how histone acetylation is implicated
in fungal pathogenesis. This review covers the current
status of research related to histone acetylation in
plant pathogenic fungi and considers relevant findings
in the interaction between fungal pathogens and
host plants. We first describe the families of histone
acetyltransferases and deacetylases. Then we provide
the cases where histone acetylation was investigated
in the context of fungal pathogenesis. Finally, future
directions and perspectives in epigenetics of fungal
pathogenesis are discussed. |
