Identification and characterization of a gene encoding a subtilisin-like serine protease induced during the vegetative incompatibility reaction in Podospora anserina.

Abstract excerpt

In the filamentous fungi, cell fusion between unlike individuals generally triggers a cell-death reaction known as vegetative incompatibility. In Podospora anserina, it was shown that, during this cell-death reaction, there is a strong increase in proteolytic activity. Here, we report the purification of a 36-kDa protease that is induced during the incompatibility reaction. An internal peptide of this protein...
