Abstract excerpt
The fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis exhibits a dimorphic switch from budding to filamentous growth in response to mating interactions and environmental conditions. We have found that disruption of the uac1 gene, encoding adenylate cyclase, results in a constitutively filamentous phenotype. Budding is restored to the uac1 mutant upon growth in the presence of cAMP or by extragenic suppression because of a mutation...
