TOK homologue in Neurospora crassa: first cloning and functional characterization of an ion channel in a filamentous fungus.

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to animal and plant cells, very little is known of ion channel function in fungal physiology. The life cycle of most fungi depends on the "filamentous" polarized growth of hyphal cells; however, no ion channels have been cloned from filamentous fungi and comparatively few preliminary recordings of ion channel activity have been made. In an attempt to gain an insight into the role of ion channels in...
