FIG 1.
A. fumigatus GprM and GprJ homologues are present in different Aspergillus spp. (A) Phylogenetic relationship among the nine classes of GPCRs present in aspergilli. GprM is a class 7 GPCR, whereas GprJ is a class 4 GPCR. (B) Distribution of 18 A. fumigatus GPCR homologues in Aspergillus species. A. fumigatus strains are highlighted in bold. The presence of a GPCR is marked by a black circle, whereas the absence is indicated by a white circle. (C) The knockout of gprM and gprJ in single- and double-deletion strains does not affect fungal growth on glucose minimal medium. Strains were grown from 105 spores for 5 days at 37°C.
