Light sensing by opsins and fungal ecology: NOP-1 modulates entry into sexual reproduction in response to environmental cues.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2018

Wang Zheng, Wang Junrui, Li Ning, Li Jigang, Trail Frances, Dunlap Jay C, Townsend Jeffrey P

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis of the switch from asexual to sexual lifestyles in response to sometimes rapid environmental changes is one of the major challenges in fungal ecology. Light appears to play a critical role in the asexual-sexual switch-but fungal genomes harbour diverse light sensors. Fungal opsins are homologous to bacterial green-light-sensory rhodopsins, and their organismal functions in fungi...
