The High-Mobility-Group Domain Transcription Factor Rop1 Is a Direct Regulator of prf1 in Ustilago maydis
1 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
In the smut fungus Ustilago maydis, the pheromone signal is transmitted via a mitogen-activated protein kinase module to the high-mobility-group (HMG) domain transcription factor Prf1, leading to its activation. This triggers sexual and pathogenic development since Prf1 binds to the PRE boxes located in the promoters of the a and b mating type genes. Here, we present the characterization of rop1 and hmg3,...
