The PAK family kinase Cla4 is required for budding and morphogenesis in Ustilago maydis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 2004

Leveleki Leonora, Mahlert Michael, Sandrock Björn, Bölker Michael

Abstract excerpt

The phytopathogenic basidiomycete Ustilago maydis displays a dimorphic switch between budding growth of haploid cells and filamentous growth of the dikaryon. In a screen for mutants affected in morphogenesis and cytokinesis, we identified the serine/threonine protein kinase Cla4, a member of the family of p21-activated kinases (PAKs). Cells, in which cla4 has been deleted, are viable but they are unable to bud...
