Transcriptomic analysis reveals the role of MrPex5-mediated peroxisomal protein import in lipid metabolism and conidiation of Metarhizium robertsii
This project investigates the transcriptional changes associated with deletion of the peroxisomal PTS1 import receptor gene MrPex5 in the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii. RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes and biological pathways affected by loss of MrPex5 during conidiation. The dataset provides insights into the regulatory roles of peroxisomal protein import in lipid utilization, fungal development, stress responses, and metabolic adaptation.
