Filamentous fungi constitute a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by
forming simple tube-like hyphae that are capable of differentiating into more-complex …

Filamentous fungi are a large and evolutionarily successful group of organisms of enormous
ecological importance (27, 114). Fungi also have a considerable impact on our economy …

The fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis establishes a biotrophic relationship with its host plant
maize (Zea mays). Hallmarks of the disease are large plant tumours in which fungal …

The basidiomycete Ustilago maydis causes smut disease in maize. Colonization of the host
plant is initiated by direct penetration of cuticle and cell wall of maize epidermis cells. The …

In yeast and animal cells, members of the superfamily of N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor
adaptor protein receptor (SNARE)-domain-containing proteins are key players in vesicle …

Filamentous fungi are a large and ancient clade of microorganisms that occupy a broad
range of ecological niches. The success of filamentous fungi is largely due to their elongate …

The dimorphic fungus Ustilago maydis switches from budding to hyphal growth on the plant
surface. In response to hydrophobicity and hydroxy fatty acids, U. maydis develops infection …

Bidirectional membrane trafficking along microtubules is mediated by kinesin-1, kinesin-3,
and dynein. Several organelle-bound adapters for kinesin-1 and dynein have been reported …

Long-distance transport of mRNAs is important in determining polarity in eukaryotes.
Molecular motors shuttle large ribonucleoprotein complexes (mRNPs) containing RNA …

Intracellular transport is mediated by molecular motors that bind cargo to be transported
along the cytoskeleton. Here, we report, for the first time, that peroxisomes (POs), lipid …
