P-type Na+/K+ ATPases essential and nonessential for cellular homeostasis and insect pathogenicity of Beauveria bassiana

ENA1 and ENA2 are P-type IID/ENA Na+/K+-ATPases required for cellular homeostasis in yeasts but remain poorly understood in filamentous fungal insect pathogens. Here, we characterized seven genes encoding five ENA1/2 homologues (ENA1a–c and ENA2a/b) and two P-type IIC/NK Na+/K+-ATPases (NK1/2) in Be...

description ENA1 and ENA2 are P-type IID/ENA Na+/K+-ATPases required for cellular homeostasis in yeasts but remain poorly understood in filamentous fungal insect pathogens.
