The ich1 gene of the mushroom Coprinus cinereus is essential for pileus formation in fruiting.
The formation of the pileus in homobasidiomycete fungi is essential for sexual reproduction, because the pileus bears the hymenium, a layer of cells that includes the specialised basidia in which nuclear fusion, meiosis and sporulation occur. The developmental mutant ichijiku of Coprinus cinereus fails to develop a differentiated pileus at the apex of the primordial shaft, which is the basal pa...
متن کاملKnockdown of LIM15/DMC1 in the mushroom Coprinus cinereus by double-stranded RNA-mediated gene silencing.
The basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus has many advantages as a model organism for studying sexual development and meiosis, but it has been difficult to investigate using reverse-genetics methods, such as gene disruption by homologous recombination. Here, gene repression by dsRNA-mediated gene silencing was tried as an alternative method for reverse-genetics studies. It was shown that transformati...
متن کاملTwo classes of homeodomain proteins specify the multiple a mating types of the mushroom Coprinus cinereus.
The A mating type locus of the mushroom Coprinus cinereus regulates essential steps in sexual development. The locus is complex and contains several functionally redundant, multiallelic genes that encode putative transcription factors. Here, we compare four genes from an A locus designated A42. Overall, the DNA sequences are very different (approximately 50% homology), but two classes of genes ...
متن کاملThe clp1 gene of the mushroom Coprinus cinereus is essential for A-regulated sexual development.
Sexual development in the mushroom Coprinus cinereus is under the control of the A and B mating-type loci, both of which must be different for a compatible, dikaryotic mycelium to form between two parents. The A genes, encoding proteins with homeodomain motifs, regulate conjugate division of the two nuclei from each mating partner and promote the formation of clamp connections. The latter are h...
متن کاملThe origin of multiple B mating specificities in Coprinus cinereus.
Mushrooms, such as Coprinus cinereus, possess large families of pheromones and G-protein-coupled receptors that are sequestered at the B mating-type locus and whose function is to confer vast numbers of different mating types. This ability results from complex patterns of cognate and noncognate pheromone/receptor pairings, which potentially offer a unique insight into the molecular interaction ...
