Evolutionary analysis of hydrophobin gene family in two wood-degrading basidiomycetes, Phlebia brevispora and Heterobasidion annosum s.l.
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hydrophobins are small secreted cysteine-rich proteins that play diverse roles during different phases of fungal life cycle. In basidiomycetes, hydrophobin-encoding genes often form large multigene families with up to 40 members. The evolutionary forces driving hydrophobin gene expansion and diversification in basidiomycetes are poorly understood. The functional roles of individual genes within such...
