m6A demethylase CpALKBH regulates CpZap1 mRNA stability to modulate the development and virulence of chestnut blight fungus by Lijiu Zhao, Xiangyu Wei, Fengyue Chen, Baoshan Chen, Ru Li

“…Additionally, our findings indicate that methylation at position 1935A of CpZap1 is regulated by both the CpALKBH demethylase and the CpMTA1 methyltransferase. Given its critical role in fungal development and virulence, overexpression of CpZap1 can rescue abnormal phenotypes of ∆CpALKBH mutant. …”
