Effector diversification within compartments of the Leptosphaeria maculans genome affected by Repeat-Induced Point mutations
Fungi are of primary ecological, biotechnological and economic importance. Many fundamental biological processes that are shared by animals and fungi are studied in fungi due to their experimental tractability. Many fungi are pathogens or mutualists and are model systems to analyse effector genes and their mechanisms of diversification. In this study, we report the genome sequence of the phytop...
متن کاملRecurrence of repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) in Neurospora crassa.
Duplicate DNA sequences in the genome of Neurospora crassa can be detected and mutated in the sexual phase of the life cycle by a process termed RIP (repeat-induced point mutation). RIP occurs in the haploid nuclei of fertilized, premeiotic cells before fusion of the parental nuclei. Both copies of duplications of gene-sized sequences are affected in the first generation at frequencies of appro...
متن کاملRepeat-induced point mutation (RIP) in crosses with wild-isolated strains of Neurospora crassa: evidence for dominant reduction of RIP.
Seventy-one wild-isolated strains of Neurospora crassa were examined for their ability to support repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) in the erg-3 locus. RIP was exceptionally inefficient but detectable in crosses with the strain FGSC 430 from Adiopodoume, Ivory Coast. We could find no consistent differences in ascospore yields when wild isolates identified as "low-RIP" or "high-RIP" strains we...
متن کاملHigh frequency repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is not associated with efficient recombination in Neurospora.
Duplicated DNA sequences in Neurospora crassa are efficiently detected and mutated during the sexual cycle by a process named repeat-induced point mutation (RIP). Linked, direct duplications have previously been shown to undergo both RIP and deletion at high frequency during premeiosis, suggesting a relationship between RIP and homologous recombination. We have investigated the relationship bet...
متن کاملIsolation of Neurospora crassa A mating type mutants by repeat induced point (RIP) mutation.
In the filamentous fungus, Neurospora crassa, mating type is regulated by a single locus with alternate alleles, termed A and a. The mating type alleles control entry into the sexual cycle, but during vegetative growth they function to elicit heterokaryon incompatibility, such that fusion of A and a hypha results in death of cells along the fusion point. Previous studies have shown that the A a...
