The paper investigates the RNA binding roles of Rrm4's RRM domains in Ustilago maydis, revealing how different RRM interactions influence mRNA transport and stability.

This study develops a microbial iCLIP2 protocol to identify RNA-protein interactions in fungi, revealing Rrm4 binds mitochondrial mRNA stop codons.

This study identifies structural features of the MLLE domain in Rrm4 and reveals its role in recognizing short linear motifs for mRNA transport during endosomal trafficking.

The paper develops regulatory systems for unconventional secretion in Ustilago maydis to enable controlled heterologous protein production and secretion.

This paper identifies GUL1 as a STRIPAK target that regulates fungal development through phosphorylation, showing its localization on endosomes and its role in hyphal growth and sexual fertility.
