Essential genes encoded by the mating-type locus of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans

Zhuyun Bian, Ziyan Zoe Xu, Anushka Peer, Yeseul Choi, Shelby J. Priest, Konstantina Akritidou, Ananya Dasgupta, Tim A. Dahlmann, Ulrich Kück, Minou Nowrousian, Matthew S. Sachs, Sheng Sun, Joseph Heitman

This study identifies essential genes in the mating-type locus of Cryptococcus neoformans, showing that four genes are essential for viability while MYO2 is critical for pathogenicity despite not being essential.

Targeted quantification of phosphorylation sites identifies STRIPAK-dependent phosphorylation of the Hippo pathway-related kinase SmKIN3

Valentina Stein, Bernhard Blank‐Landeshammer, Ramona Märker, Albert Sickmann, Ulrich Kück

The paper identifies STRIPAK-dependent phosphorylation sites in SmKIN3 and shows their impact on septation in Sordaria macrospora.

The STRIPAK signaling complex regulates phosphorylation of GUL1, an RNA-binding protein that shuttles on endosomes

Valentina Stein, Bernhard Blank‐Landeshammer, Kira Müntjes, Ramona Märker, Ines Teichert, Michael Feldbrügge, Albert Sickmann, Ulrich Kück

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.

Mating-type specific ribosomal proteins control aspects of sexual reproduction in Cryptococcus neoformans

Giuseppe Ianiri, Yufeng “Francis” Fang, Tim A. Dahlmann, Shelly Applen Clancey, Guilhem Janbon, Ulrich Kück, Joseph Heitman

This study identifies essential mating-type specific ribosomal proteins in Cryptococcus neoformans that regulate sexual reproduction and viability through differential expression and RNAi mechanisms.
