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...

Signalweiterleitung in Ustilago maydis: Die Kpp4/Fuz7/Kpp2-MAPK-Kaskade kontrolliert Pheromonantwort und pathogene Entwicklung (2003)

Müller, Philip

Die pathogene Entwicklung von U. maydis, dem Erreger des Maisbeulenbrandes, wird durch die Fusion von zwei haploiden Sporidien eingeleitet. Das entstehende Dikaryon ist in der Lage, die Maispflanze...

An unusual MAP kinase is required for efficient penetration of the plant surface by Ustilago maydis

Brachmann, Andreas, Schirawski, Jan, Müller, Philip, Kahmann, Regine

In Ustilago maydis, pathogenic development is controlled by a heterodimer of the two homeodomain proteins bW and bE. We have identified by RNA fingerprinting a b-regulated gene, kpp6, which encodes...

Guanyl Nucleotide Exchange Factor Sql2 and Ras2 Regulate Filamentous Growth in Ustilago maydis

Müller, Philip, Katzenberger, Jörg D., Loubradou , Gabriel, Kahmann, Regine

The cyclic AMP (cAMP)-signaling pathway regulates cell morphology and plays a crucial role during pathogenic development of the plant-pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis. Strains lacking components of...

PKA and MAPK phosphorylation of Prf1 allows promoter discrimination in Ustilago maydis

Kaffarnik, Florian, Müller, Philip, Leibundgut, Marc, Kahmann, Regine, Feldbrügge, Michael

Mating in Ustilago maydis requires cross-talk between cAMP and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling. During this process, pheromone response factor 1 (Prf1) activates transcription of a...

Mating and Pathogenic Development of the Smut Fungus Ustilago maydis Are Regulated by One Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Cascade

Müller, Philip, Weinzierl, Gerhard, Brachmann, Andreas, Feldbrügge, Michael, Kahmann, Regine

In the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis, pheromone-mediated cell fusion is a prerequisite for the generation of the infectious dikaryon. The pheromone signal elevates transcription of the...

The Gβ-Subunit-Encoding Gene bpp1 Controls Cyclic-AMP Signaling in Ustilago maydis

Müller, Philip, Leibbrandt, Andreas, Teunissen, Hedwich, Cubasch, Stephanie, Aichinger, Christian, Kahmann, Regine

In the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis, fusion of haploid cells is a prerequisite for infection. This process is controlled by a pheromone-receptor system. The receptors belong to the...

The High-Mobility-Group Domain Transcription Factor Rop1 Is a Direct Regulator of prf1 in Ustilago maydis

Brefort, Thomas, Müller, Philip, Kahmann, Regine

In the smut fungus Ustilago maydis, the pheromone signal is transmitted via a mitogen-activated protein kinase module to the high-mobility-group (HMG) domain transcription factor Prf1, leading to its...
