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
The a mating type locus of U. maydis specifies cell signaling components.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the mating type in each allele is determined by a set of two genes, one encodes a precursor for a lipopeptide mating factor, and the other specifies the receptor for the pheromone secreted by cells of opposite mating type.
Journal ArticleDOI
A two-component regulatory system for self/non-self recognition in Ustilago maydis
TL;DR: Genetic evidence is provided to show that the pair of bE and bW polypeptides encoded by different b alleles is the key regulatory species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiallelic recognition: Nonself-dependent dimerization of the bE and bW homeodomain proteins in ustilago maydis
TL;DR: The results suggest a model for self/nonself recognition in which variable cohesive contacts direct dimerization, which is supported with a biochemical interaction assay with immobilized proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
G proteins in Ustilago maydis: transmission of multiple signals?

TL;DR: Haploid strains harbouring gpa3Q206L were able to mate without pheromone stimulation, indicating that Gpa3 plays an active role in transmission of the phersomone signal.
