A gene responsible for vegetative incompatibility in the fungus Podospora anserina encodes a protein with a GTP-binding motif and G beta homologous domain.

Abstract excerpt

The het-e-1 gene of the fungus Podospora anserina is responsible for vegetative incompatibility through specific interactions with different alleles of the unlinked gene, het-c. Coexpression of two incompatible genes triggers a cell death reaction that prevents heterokaryon formation. The het-e1 allele has been cloned to get information on the function of the locus. It encodes a putative 1356-amino-acid...
