Signal Transduction by Tga3, a Novel G Protein Subunit of Trichoderma atroviride
Trichoderma species are used commercially as biocontrol agents against a number of phytopathogenic fungi due to their mycoparasitic characterisitics. The mycoparasitic response is induced when Trichoderma specifically recognizes the presence of the host fungus and transduces the host-derived signals to their respective regulatory targets. We made deletion mutants of the tga3 gene of Trichoderma...
متن کاملTrichoderma atroviride G-protein alpha-subunit gene tga1 is involved in mycoparasitic coiling and conidiation.
The soil fungus Trichoderma atroviride, a mycoparasite, responds to a number of external stimuli. In the presence of a fungal host, T. atroviride produces hydrolytic enzymes and coils around the host hyphae. In response to light or nutrient depletion, asexual sporulation is induced. In a biomimetic assay, different lectins induce coiling around nylon fibers; coiling in the absence of lectins ca...
متن کاملSignal transduction by a nondissociable heterotrimeric yeast G protein.
Many signal transduction pathways involve heterotrimeric G proteins. The accepted model for activation of heterotrimeric G proteins states that the protein dissociates to the free G(alpha) (GTP)-bound subunit and free G(betagamma) dimer. On GTP hydrolysis, G(alpha) (GDP) then reassociates with G(betagamma) [Gilman, A. G. (1987) Annu. Rev. Biochem. 56, 615-649]. We reexamined this hypothesis, by...
متن کاملNovel light-regulated genes in Trichoderma atroviride: a dissection by cDNA microarrays.
The influence of light on living organisms is critical, not only because of its importance as the main source of energy for the biosphere, but also due to its capacity to induce changes in the behaviour and morphology of nearly all forms of life. The common soil fungus Trichoderma atroviride responds to blue light in a synchronized manner, in time and space, by forming a ring of green conidia a...
متن کاملDimerization of G-protein-coupled receptors: roles in signal transduction.
Recently, many G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been demonstrated to form constitutive dimers consisting of identical or distinct monomeric subunits. The discovery of GPCR dimerization has revealed a new level of molecular cross-talk between signalling molecules and may define a general mechanism that modulates the function of GPCRs under both physiological and pathological conditions. ...
