Abstract excerpt

The b mating-type locus of the fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis encodes two multiallelic gene products, bE and bW, that control the formation and maintenance of the infectious cell type. Dimerization via the N-terminal regions of bE and bW proteins encoded by alleles of different specificiti...
