Does asexual sporulation signalling regulate autolysis of Aspergillus nidulans via modulating the chitinase ChiB production?
The endochitinase ChiB plays an important role in autolysis of A. nidulans, and its production is initiated by FluG-BrlA signalling. Despite the fact that apoptosis is an inseparable part of fungal autolysis, its regulation is independent to FluG-initiated sporulation signalling.
Tonic spasms are a common clinical manifestation in patients with neuromyelitis optica.
