Nuclear and Genome Dynamics in Multinucleate Ascomycete Fungi
Genetic variation between individuals is essential to evolution and adaptation. However, intra-organismic genetic variation also shapes the life histories of many organisms, including filamentous fungi. A single fungal syncytium can harbor thousands or millions of mobile and potentially genotypically different nuclei, each having the capacity to regenerate a new organism. Because the dispersal ...
متن کاملSelective nuclear elimination in multinucleate cells.
A few hours of fumigation will easily eliminate a home's pest infestation. However, one has to choose other means of pest control if the home's residents cannot relocate. The same issue underpins selective nuclear elimination in multinucleate cells. Recently, we reported a novel cell elimination strategy in early developing seeds of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana; a large embryo-nourishin...
متن کاملConservation and Evolution of Cis-Regulatory Systems in Ascomycete Fungi
Relatively little is known about the mechanisms through which gene expression regulation evolves. To investigate this, we systematically explored the conservation of regulatory networks in fungi by examining the cis-regulatory elements that govern the expression of coregulated genes. We first identified groups of coregulated Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes enriched for genes with known upstream ...
متن کاملEvolution of the frequency (frq) clock locus in Ascomycete fungi.
The frequency (frq) locus of Neurospora crassa plays a key role in the organization of circadian rhythms. Similar timing systems have been found in nearly all eukaryotes as well as some prokaryotes; thus, frq may be an excellent gene with which to conduct evolutionary studies. To investigate, we used the cloned frq locus from ascomycete fungi representing two classical taxonomic classes and thr...
متن کاملComparative genomics of the environmental stress response in ascomycete fungi.
Unicellular fungi thrive in diverse niches around the world, and many of these niches present unique and stressful challenges that must be contended with by their inhabitants. Numerous studies have investigated the genomic expression responses to environmental stress in 'model' ascomycete fungi, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. This review pres...
