Directed growth during somatic cell fusion in Neurospora crassa requires contributions from two distinct MAP kinase pathways
A. Serrano, H. H. Hammadeh, U. Brandt, A. Fleissner
The paper investigates the roles of MAK-1 and MAK-2 MAP kinases in Neurospora crassa cell fusion, showing MAK-1 activates RAC-1 and actin polymerization, while MAK-2 orients RAC-1/actin toward the fusion site.
