Isolation and characterization from pathogenic fungi of genes encoding ammonium permeases and their roles in dimorphism.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 2003

Smith David G, Garcia-Pedrajas Maria D, Gold Scott E, Perlin Michael H

Abstract excerpt

Nutrient sensing plays important roles in fungal development in general, and specifically in critical aspects of pathogenicity and virulence, for both animal and plant pathogens. Dimorphic pathogens such as the phytopathogenic smut fungi, Ustilago maydis and Microbotryum violaceum, must switch from a yeast-like to a filamentous form in order to cause disease. Two genes encoding methylammonium permeases (MEPs)...
