A. fumigatus can regulate its cellular physiology in response to environmental stresses, but there has been no research on Pab1 in A. fumigatus. The associated gene afpab1 was replaced with a hygromycin-selectable marker to generate the strain \u0394afpab1. Phenotypic analysis showed that the \u0394afpab1 grew more weakly than the wild-type strain. Also the germination rate of \u0394afpab1 was decreased when exposed to oxidative stress. The morphology of \u0394afpab1 spores also showed great changes. The killing rate of \u0394afpab1 by RAW264.7 murine macrophage cells was increased, and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability of \u0394afpab1 was decreased. Pathogenicity testing showed that the deletion strain had decreased virulence. Therefore, we conclude that afpab1 activity is correlated with susceptibility to oxidative stress, and deletion of afpab1 from A. fumigatus possibly leads to observed hypovirulence in an immunosuppressed mouse model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms17111811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,31]],"date-time":"2016-10-31T11:09:46Z","timestamp":1477912186000},"page":"1811","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Deletion of afpab1 Causes Increased Sensitivity to Oxidative Stress and Hypovirulence in Aspergillus fumigatus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Dongyang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathogenobiology, Jilin University Mycology Research Center, Key Laboratory of Pathobiology, Ministry of Education, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shunan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathogenobiology, Jilin University Mycology Research Center, Key Laboratory of Pathobiology, Ministry of Education, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathogenobiology, Jilin University Mycology Research Center, Key Laboratory of Pathobiology, Ministry of Education, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Song","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathogenobiology, Jilin University Mycology Research Center, Key Laboratory of Pathobiology, Ministry of Education, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baiji","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathogenobiology, Jilin University Mycology Research Center, Key Laboratory of Pathobiology, Ministry of Education, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathogenobiology, Jilin University Mycology Research Center, Key Laboratory of Pathobiology, Ministry of Education, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1535","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1462-5822.2010.01517.x","article-title":"Aspergillus fumigatus: Contours of an opportunistic human pathogen","volume":"12","author":"McCormick","year":"2010","journal-title":"Cell Microbiol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"919","DOI":"10.1016\/j.micinf.2009.07.002","article-title":"The innate immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus","volume":"11","author":"Balloy","year":"2009","journal-title":"Microbes Infect."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1016\/j.riam.2010.10.003","article-title":"What makes Aspergillus fumigatus a successful pathogen?
