Characterization of IDI‐4, a bZIP transcription factor inducing autophagy and cell death in the fungus Podospora anserina
12 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
In filamentous fungi a cell death reaction occurs when hyphae of unlike genotype fuse. This phenomenon is referred to as heterokaryon incompatibility. In Podospora anserina, this cell death reaction was found to be associated with the transcriptional induction of a set of genes termed idi genes (for induced during incompatibility) and activation of autophagy. Herein, we describe the characterization of idi-4, a...
