Evidence Snippets

Here we report on the role of two other photoreceptors in U. maydis, namely White collar 1 (Wco1) and Phytochrome 1 (Phy1).

Linked Claims

Claim 1biochemical propertysupports2021Source 1DOIPubMed

Wco1 binds flavins as a chromophore.

Claim 2coregulationsupports2021Source 1DOIPubMed

Most red and far-red light-controlled genes depend on both Phy1 and Wco1, indicating partial coregulation of gene expression by the two photoreceptors.

Claim 3gene regulation rolesupports2021Source 1DOIPubMed

Ustilago maydis responds to red and far-red light, but fewer genes are controlled by red or far-red light than by blue light.

Claim 4gene regulation rolesupports2021Source 1DOIPubMed

Wco1 is the dominant blue light receptor in the saprophytic phase and controls all 324 differentially expressed genes in blue light.

Claim 5interaction inferencesupports2021Source 1DOIPubMed

The localization data provide no hint that Wco1 and Phy1 directly interact or operate within the same complex.

Claim 6noveltysupports2021Source 1DOIPubMed

This study is the first report of functional characterization and coaction of White collar 1 and phytochrome orthologs in basidiomycetes.

Claim 7photocycle activitysupports2021Source 1DOIPubMed

Both Wco1 and Phy1 undergo a photocycle in vitro.

Claim 8subcellular localizationsupports2021Source 1DOIPubMed

GFP-fused Wco1 is preferentially localized in the nucleus, whereas Phy1 is localized in the cytosol.
