Calcineurin Is an Antagonist to PKA Protein Phosphorylation Required for Postmating Filamentation and Virulence, While PP2A Is Required for Viability in Ustilago maydis
Ustilago maydis is a dimorphic basidiomycete and the causal agent of corn smut disease. It serves as a genetic model for understanding dimorphism, pathogenicity, and mating response in filamentous fungi. Previous studies indicated the importance of regulated cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) for...
