This order belongs to a group referred to as early-diverging fungi that are characterized by high levels of N6-methyldeoxy adenine (6mA) in their genome with dense 6mA clusters associated with actively expressed genes. AlkB enzymes can act as demethylases of 6mA in DNA, with the most remarkable eukaryotic examples being mammalian ALKBH1 and Caenorhabditis elegans NMAD-1. The Mucor lusitanicus (formerly M. circinelloides f. lusitanicus) genome contains one gene, dmt1, and two genes, dmt2 and dmt3, encoding proteins similar to C. elegans NMAD-1 and ALKBH1, respectively. The function of these three genes was analyzed by the generation of single and double deletion mutants for each gene. Multiple processes were studied in the mutants, but defects were only found in single and double deletion mutants for dmt1. In contrast to the wild-type strain, dmt1 mutants showed an increase in 6mA levels during the dimorphic transition, suggesting that 6mA is associated with dimorphism in M. lusitanicus. Furthermore, the spores of dmt1 mutants challenged with macrophages underwent a reduction in polar growth, suggesting that 6mA also has a role during the spore\u2013macrophage interaction that could be important in the infection process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jof7090738","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]],"date-time":"2021-09-08T10:12:03Z","timestamp":1631095923000},"page":"738","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["DNA Methylation on N6-Adenine Regulates the Hyphal Development during Dimorphism in the Early-Diverging Fungus Mucor lusitanicus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4489-1960","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Macario","family":"Osorio-Concepci\u00f3n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Gen\u00e9tica y Microbiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Biolog\u00eda, Universidad de Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2059-303X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Lax","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Gen\u00e9tica y Microbiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Biolog\u00eda, Universidad de Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3091-4378","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eusebio","family":"Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Gen\u00e9tica y Microbiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Biolog\u00eda, Universidad de Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3762-5971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco E.","family":"Nicol\u00e1s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Gen\u00e9tica y Microbiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Biolog\u00eda, Universidad de Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7605-1726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victoriano","family":"Garre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Gen\u00e9tica y Microbiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Biolog\u00eda, Universidad de Murcia, 30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1351","DOI":"10.1080\/10428190310001653691","article-title":"improved outcome of zygomycosis in patients with hematological diseases?","volume":"45","author":"Gleissner","year":"2004","journal-title":"Leuk.
