A WD40 repeat protein regulates fungal cell differentiation and can be replaced functionally by the mammalian homologue striatin.
Fruiting body development in fungi is a complex cellular differentiation process that is controlled by more than 100 developmental genes. Mutants of the filamentous fungus Sordaria macrospora showing defects in fruiting body formation are pertinent sources for the identification of components of this multicellular differentiation process. Here we show that the sterile mutant pro11 carries a def...
متن کاملThe TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA1 locus, which regulates trichome differentiation and anthocyanin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis, encodes a WD40 repeat protein.
The TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA1 (TTG1) locus regulates several developmental and biochemical pathways in Arabidopsis, including the formation of hairs on leaves, stems, and roots, and the production of seed mucilage and anthocyanin pigments. The TTG1 locus has been isolated by positional cloning, and its identity was confirmed by complementation of a ttg1 mutant. The locus encodes a protein of 34...
متن کاملTombusvirus Y-shaped translational enhancer forms a complex with eIF4F and can be functionally replaced by heterologous translational enhancers.
Certain plus-strand RNA plant viruses that are uncapped and nonpolyadenylated rely on RNA elements in their 3' untranslated region, termed 3'-cap-independent translational enhancers (3'CITEs), for efficient translation of their proteins. Here, we have investigated the properties of the Y-shaped class of 3'CITE present in the tombusvirus Carnation Italian ringspot virus (CIRV). While some types ...
متن کاملNH2-terminal acidic region of the phosphoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus can be functionally replaced by tubulin.
The phosphoprotein (NS) of vesicular stomatitis virus is an indispensable subunit of the virion-associated RNA polymerase (L). NS consists of a highly acidic NH2-terminal domain and a basic COOH-terminal domain. Unlike the latter, the amino acid sequences of the NH2-terminal regions are highly dissimilar among different viral serotypes, although they share structural similarities. We have clone...
متن کاملThe WD40 repeat PtdIns(3)P-binding protein EPG-6 regulates progression of omegasomes to autophagosomes.
PtdIns(3)P plays critical roles in the autophagy pathway. However, little is known about how PtdIns(3)P effectors act with autophagy proteins in autophagosome formation. Here we identified an essential autophagy gene in C. elegans, epg-6, which encodes a WD40 repeat-containing protein with PtdIns(3)P-binding activity. EPG-6 directly interacts with ATG-2. epg-6 and atg-2 regulate progression of ...
