The high mobility group transcription factor Sox8 is a negative regulator of osteoblast differentiation
Bone remodeling is an important physiologic process that is required to maintain a constant bone mass. This is achieved through a balanced activity of bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. In this study, we identify the high mobility group transcription factor Sox8 as a physiologic regulator of bone formation. Sox8-deficient mice display a low bone mass phenotype that is caus...
متن کاملThe Transcription Factor Rbf1 Is the Master Regulator for b-Mating Type Controlled Pathogenic Development in Ustilago maydis
In the phytopathogenic basidiomycete Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are tightly connected and controlled by the heterodimeric bE/bW transcription factor complex encoded by the b-mating type locus. The formation of the active bE/bW heterodimer leads to the formation of filaments, induces a G2 cell cycle arrest, and triggers pathogenicity. Here, we identify a set of 345 bE/bW ...
متن کاملDeletion of the Ustilago maydis ortholog of the Aspergillus sporulation regulator medA affects mating and virulence through pheromone response.
Mating of compatible haploid cells of Ustilago maydis is essential for infection and disease development in the host. For mating and subsequent filamentous growth and pathogenicity, the transcription factor, prf1 is necessary. Prf1 is in turn regulated by the cAMP and MAPK pathways and other regulators like rop1 and hap1. Here we describe the identification of another putative Prf1 regulator, m...
متن کاملEnvironmental signals controlling sexual development of the corn Smut fungus Ustilago maydis through the transcriptional regulator Prf1.
Environmental signals induce and coordinate discrete morphological transitions during sexual development of Ustilago maydis. In this fungus, mating of two compatible haploid sporidia is a prerequisite for plant infection. Cell fusion is governed by the action of pheromones and receptors, whereas the subsequent pathogenicity program is controlled by the combinatorial interaction of homeodomain p...
متن کاملPhytohormone sensing in the biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis – the dual role of the transcription factor Rss1
The phenolic compound salicylic acid (SA) is a key signalling molecule regulating local and systemic plant defense responses, mainly against biotrophs. Many microbial organisms, including pathogens, share the ability to degrade SA. However, the mechanism by which they perceive SA is unknown. Here we show that Ustilago maydis, the causal agent of corn smut disease, employs a so far uncharacteriz...
