Abstract excerpt
An anonymous cDNA clone, pCAN4, was shown previously to correspond to an mRNA that accumulates preferentially during asexual sporulation of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. The peptide encoded by pCAN4 is a fungal hydrophobin, a group of small, hydrophobic cell wall proteins. When the CAN4 gene was disrupted, conidia and conidiophores appeared to be normal, but sporulating colonies wetted more rapidly...
