Alternative transcription start site selection in Mr-OPY2 controls lifestyle transitions in the fungus Metarhizium robertsii
The fungus Metarhizium robertsii can act as a saprophyte, plant symbiont and insect pathogen. Here, the authors show that the use of alternative transcription start sites controls the expression of membrane protein Mr-OPY2, which in turn modulates the saprophyte-to-pathogen transition.
