Overexpression of the Aspergillus fumigatus Small GTPase, RsrA, Promotes Polarity Establishment during Germination

Abstract excerpt

Cell polarization comprises highly controlled processes and occurs in most eukaryotic organisms. In yeast, the processes of budding, mating and filamentation require coordinated mechanisms leading to polarized growth. Filamentous fungi, such as Aspergillus fumigatus, are an extreme example of cell polarization, essential for both vegetative and pathogenic growth. A major regulator of polarized growth in yeast is...
