Insights from the genome of the biotrophic fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis (2006)

Kahmann, Regine, Bölker, Michael, Ma, Li-Jun, Brefort, Thomas, Saville, Barry J, ...

Ustilago maydis is a ubiquitous pathogen of maize and a well-established model organism for the study of plant-microbe interactions. This basidiomycete fungus does not use aggressive virulence...

The induction of sexual development and virulence in the smut fungus Ustilago maydis depends on Crk1, a novel MAPK protein (2004)

Garrido, Elia, Voß, Ute, Müller, Philip, Castillo-Lluva, Sonia, Kahmann, Regine, Pérez-Martín, José

MAP kinases (mitogen-activated protein kinases) are activated by dual phosphorylation on specific threonine and specific tyrosine residues that are separated by a single residue, and the TXY...

Three regions in the DNA of plasmid pLS1 show sequence-directed static bending (1988)

Pérez-Martín, José, Solar, Gloria H. Del, De La Campa, Adela G., Espinosa, Manuel

Three regions showing abnormal electrophoretic mobility, which is an indication of the existence of bends in DNA, have been observed in the DNA of plasmid pLS1. These loci have been characterized by...

Coordinated Repression In Vitro of the Divergent fepA-fes Promoters of Escherichia coli by the Iron Uptake Regulation (Fur) Protein

Escolar, Lucía, Pérez-Martín, José, De Lorenzo, Víctor

The mechanism involved in transcriptional repression of the fepA-fes divergent promoters of Escherichia coli by the Fur (ferric uptake regulation) protein has been examined in vitro. This DNA region...

Mutations in Chromatin Components Suppress a Defect of Gcn5 Protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Pérez-Martín, José, Johnson, Alexander D.

The yeast GCN5 gene encodes the catalytic subunit of a nuclear histone acetyltransferase and is part of a high-molecular-weight complex involved in transcriptional regulation. In this paper we show...

The C-Terminal Domain of Sin1 Interacts with the SWI-SNF Complex in Yeast

Pérez-Martín, José, Johnson, Alexander D.

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the SWI-SNF complex has been proposed to antagonize the repressive effects of chromatin by disrupting nucleosomes. The SIN genes were identified as suppressors...

Gpa2, a G-Protein α Subunit Required for Hyphal Development in Candida albicans

Sánchez-Martínez, Cristina, Pérez-Martín, José

Candida albicans is able to respond to environmental changes by inducing a distinct morphological program, which is related to the ability to infect mammalian hosts. Although some of the signal...

Pheromone-Induced G2 Arrest in the Phytopathogenic Fungus Ustilago maydis

García-Muse, Tatiana, Steinberg, Gero, Pérez-Martín, José

In the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis, pathogenic development is initiated when two compatible haploid cells fuse and form the infectious dikaryon. Mating is dependent on pheromone recognition by...

The Induction of the Mating Program in the Phytopathogen Ustilago maydis Is Controlled by a G1 CyclinW⃞

Castillo-Lluva, Sonia, Pérez-Martín, José

Our understanding of how cell cycle regulation and virulence are coordinated during the induction of fungal pathogenesis is limited. In the maize smut fungus Ustilago maydis, pathogenesis and sexual...

Biz1, a Zinc Finger Protein Required for Plant Invasion by Ustilago maydis, Regulates the Levels of a Mitotic Cyclin[W]

Flor-Parra, Ignacio, Vranes, Miroslav, Kämper, Jörg, Pérez-Martín, José

Plant invasion by pathogenic fungi involves regulated growth and highly organized fungal morphological changes. For instance, when the smut fungus Ustilago maydis infects maize (Zea mays), its...

Polar Growth in the Infectious Hyphae of the Phytopathogen Ustilago maydis Depends on a Virulence-Specific Cyclin[W]

Flor-Parra, Ignacio, Castillo-Lluva, Sonia, Pérez-Martín, José

The maize smut fungus Ustilago maydis switches from yeast to hyphal growth to infect maize (Zea mays) plants. This switching is promoted by mating of compatible cells and seems to be required for...
