How do fungi grow directionally? We think part of the mechanism involves local translation of mRNA near the tip, especially of cell wall components. Delighted to share our preprint showing that an RNA-binding protein, SsdA/Ssd1, is trafficked to the tip of growing fungal filaments.
Great to see. I understand the microbiologists are not available, since they are all in a staph meeting.
I will need this unfortunately
The LaBella lab is out in full force masquerading as mycologists for the day at MASMC
Yeast 🧽 are fungi 🍄 too!
