• Abstract

  Phototaxis in flagellated zoospores of the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii depends on a novel photosensor BeGC1 comprised by a type I (microbial) rhodopsin fused to a guanylyl cyclase catalytic domain that produces the conserved second messenger cGMP. The rapid and transient increase in cGMP levels during zoospore exposure to green light was shown to be necessary for phototaxis a…

  A cGMP-dependent K+ channel in the Blastocladiomycete fungus Blastocladiella emersonii, PUB.ART

• Abstract

  This project aims at investigating the molecular aspects related to the life cycle of the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii. Three subprojects analyzing different aspects of the biology of the fungus will be developped. In subproject 1, the effects of environmental stresses in mesenger RNA processing in the fungus will be investigated. In particular, we will investigated how exposu…

  Molecular aspects of the biology of the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii, AP.R

• Abstract

  This research project aims at investigating the molecular aspects related to the control of gene expression during cell differentiation, heat shock and other stress conditions utilizing as model systems: the gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus and the chytridiomycete Blastocladiella emersonii. In Caulobacter crescentus, we intend to investigate a putative homologue of the gene …

• Abstract

  The aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii presents an interesting life cycle, which has drastic biochemical and morphological changes during two cell differentiation stages: germination and sporulation. In germination, for example, protein synthesis is inhibited, a transient increase of cAMP levels is observed, activation of PKA is detected, as well as mobilization of cellular glycog…

• Abstract

  Blastocladiella emersonii is a fungus of the Blastocladiomycete class that is positioned at the base of the fungal phylogenetic tree. This fungus shows an interesting life cycle with two cell differentiation stages: germination and sporulation. The early events of germination do not require protein synthesis and involve posttranslational regulatory events, while at the late events in this…
