Journal ArticleDOI

Insights from the genome of the biotrophic fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis

Jörg Kämper, +80 more
- 02 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: The discovery of the secreted protein gene clusters and the functional demonstration of their decisive role in the infection process illuminate previously unknown mechanisms of pathogenicity operating in biotrophic fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungal dimorphism: the switch from hyphae to yeast is a specialized morphogenetic adaptation allowing colonization of a host.

TL;DR: The signalling pathways regulating the morphological transition and the transcriptional responses necessary for intracellular growth will be explored, highlighting recent advances in the understanding of the role of iron and calcium acquisition during infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of morphogenesis and actin localization by the Penicillium marneffei RAC homolog.

TL;DR: The cloning and functional characterization of a RAC homolog, cflB, from the dimorphic fungus Penicillium marneffei, shows that these two GTPases have both overlapping and distinct roles during growth and development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ras and Rho GTPases genetically interact to co‐ordinately regulate cell polarity during development in Penicillium marneffei

TL;DR: It is shown that RasA (Ras) acts upstream of CflA (Cdc42) to regulate germination of spores and polarized growth of both hyphal and yeast cells, while also exhibiting CFlA‐independent activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CDC42 homolog of the dimorphic fungus Penicillium marneffei is required for correct cell polarization during growth but not development.

TL;DR: It is shown that CflA initiates polarized growth and extension of the germ tube and subsequently maintains polarized growth in the vegetative mycelium and that heterologous expression of cflA alleles in Aspergillus nidulans prevented conidiation.
