Cell fusion in Neurospora crassa.

Current opinion in microbiology - 1 Dec 2015

Herzog Stephanie, Schumann Marcel R, Fleißner André

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa has advanced as a model organism for studying eukaryotic cell-cell communication and fusion. Cell merger in this fungus employs an unusual mode of communication, in which the fusion partners appear to switch between signal sending and receiving. Many molecular factors mediating this intriguing mechanism and the subsequent membrane merger have been...
