Hypothetical model for the effects of arachidonic acid (AA), LoxB, and oxylipins on the germination of spores in A. fumigatus. AA has inhibitory effects on each stage of A. fumigatus development from DSs to mycelial network. The inhibitory effects of AA can be suppressed in a loxB-dependent fashion through the AA-dependent up-regulation of loxB via unknown mechanisms. Upon proper localization, LoxB may convert the germination program inhibitor AA to stimulatory 5-HETE, creating a synergistic environment that further accelerates germination.
