Peroxins in Peroxisomal Receptor Export System Contribute to Development, Stress Response, and Virulence of Insect Pathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana

In filamentous fungi, recycling of receptors responsible for protein targeting to peroxisomes depends on the receptor export system (RES), which consists of peroxins Pex1, Pex6, and Pex26.This study trikes seeks to functionally characterize these peroxins in the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana.BbPex1, BbPex6, and BbPex26 are associated w
