het-B allorecognition in Podospora anserina is determined by pseudo-allelic interaction of genes encoding a HET and lectin fold domain protein and a PII-like protein

This paper identifies the het-B locus in Podospora anserina, showing that incompatibility is determined by non-allelic interaction between Bh1 and Bp2, with the lectin fold domain of BH dictating specificity.

Fungal gasdermin-like proteins are controlled by proteolytic cleavage

This paper identifies proteolytic cleavage as the mechanism regulating fungal gasdermin activity, showing that HET-Q1 is cleaved by HET-Q2 to induce cell death and that gasdermin genes are clustered with protease genes.

Combinations of Spok genes create multiple meiotic drivers in Podospora

The paper identifies Spok genes as the molecular basis of meiotic drivers in Podospora anserina and shows their role in spore killing and resistance through distinct domains.
