Journal ArticleDOI
Small-GTPase-Associated Signaling by the Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors CpDock180 and CpCdc24, the GTPase Effector CpSte20, and the Scaffold Protein CpBem1 in Claviceps purpurea
TL;DR: Functional characterizations suggest a role of CpCdc24 mainly in polarity, whereas CpDock180 is involved in stress tolerance mechanisms, and these findings indicate the dynamic formation of small GTPase complexes and improve the model for G TPase-associated signaling in C. purpurea.
Book ChapterDOI
Mating-Type Genes in Heterobasidiomycetes
TL;DR: This chapter will mainly focus on the mating systems of the Usti-laginales, because only for this order have detailed genetic studies been performed that were recently extended by a molecular analysis of the matingtype genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The germinal centre kinase Don3 is crucial for unconventional secretion of chitinase Cts1 in Ustilago maydis.

TL;DR: Novel insights are gained into the mechanism of unconventional secretion and the first regulatory component of this process is discovered, connected to cytokinesis, in the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of mating and development in Ustilago maydis.
Tilman Spellig,Erika Regenfelder,Michael Reichmann,Florian Schauwecker,Ralph Bohlmann,Martin Urban,Michael Bölker,Jörg Kämper,Regine Kahmann +8 more
TL;DR: The function of these loci in controlling the cell fusion step, the switch from yeast-like to filamentous growth and subsequent pathogenic development and the role of pheromones and pherOMone signaling in these processes are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidation of substrate specificities of decorating enzymes involved in mannosylerythritol lipid production by cross-species complementation.
TL;DR: It is shown that the plant pathogenic fungus Ustilago hordei secretes these glycolipids under nitrogen starvation conditions and it is determined that the acyltransferase Mac1 acylates the mannosylerythritol moiety at position C2 while Mac2 acylate C3.
