Abstract: | Pilobolus crystallinus has three putative glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh) genes (pcgapdh1, pcgapdh2 and pcgapdh3). The results of this study demonstrate that expression of pcgapdh2 was increased by irradiation and that this increased expression was correlated with the formation of asexual reproductive
organs (trophocysts). Interestingly, expression of pcgapdh2 was restricted to trophocysts. The formation of trophocysts was likely promoted by light, and the expression of pcgapdh2 was increased as a result of trophocyst formation. This is the first report that shows the regulation of a gapdh gene in an organ-specific manner in fungi. |
