Molecular genetics of mating recognition in basidiomycete fungi

Article Abstract:

Mating-type genes in fungi place barriers on self-mating, maintaining genetic variability. Somatic cell fusion is sufficient for mating in the basidiomycete fungi, which are largely heterothallic. Three basidiomycete species are considered, the corn smut Ustilago maydis and the mushrooms Schizophyllum commune and Coprinus cinereus, and the molecular genetics of mating recognition are described.

Hyperthermophilic enzymes: sources, uses, and molecular mechanisms for thermostability

Article Abstract:

This review discusses bacterial and archaeal enzymes isolated from terrestrial and marine environments that exhibit unique temperature stability. Structure-function relationships, molecular basis of thermostability, catalytic properties, genetic and evolutionary aspects, and mechanism of action of these thermozymes are discussed.
