Skin infection with the fungus <i>Drechmeria coniospora</i> leads to a transcriptional response in the worm epidermis. This involves an increased expression of a group of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) genes including those in the <i>nlp-29</i> and <i>cnc-2</i> clusters. The major pathways leading to the expression of these AMP genes have been ... Read more >>

To facilitate genetic mapping of developmental mutants of <i>Physcomitrium patens</i>, we produced a genetic marker that combines recessive auxotrophy with dominant positive selection. We first identified the gene affected by the <i>pabB4</i> auxotrophic mutation and then replaced it with a cassette that confers antibiotic resistance. This strain may be used ... Read more >>

If the cuticle acts as a protective barrier against environmental insults, several pathogens have developed strategies that use it as a way to infect <i>C. elegans</i>. The fungus <i>Drechmeria coniospora</i> produces spores that attach to the cuticle, before hyphae invade the body. Mutants with an altered surface coat, the outermost ... Read more >>

Regulators of G protein signaling (RGSs) are proteins that negatively regulate G protein signal transduction. In this study, seven putative RGSs were characterized in the nematode-trapping (NT) fungus, <i>Arthrobotrys oligospora</i>. Deleting <i>Rgs</i> genes significantly increased intracellular cAMP levels, and caused defects in mycelia growth, stress resistance, conidiation, trap formation, and ... Read more >>
