Rabs are GTP-binding proteins with conserved functions in membrane trafficking. They are
regulated by a diverse group of structurally unrelated GDP-GTP exchange factors (GEFs) …

SUMMARY The Bin1/amphiphysin/Rvs167 (BAR) domain proteins are a ubiquitous protein
family. Genes encoding members of this family have not yet been found in the genomes of …

Endogenous short RNAs (esRNAs) play diverse roles in eukaryotes and usually are
produced from double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by Dicer. esRNAs are grouped into different …

Ypt/Rabs are Ras-related GTPases that function as key regulators of intracellular vesicular
trafficking. Their slow intrinsic rates of GTP hydrolysis are catalyzed by GTPase-activating …

Fusarium graminearum is an important plant pathogenic fungus that causes disease and
yield reduction in many cereal crops, such as wheat and barley. Gyp8 stimulates GTP …

In filamentous fungi, hyphal growth depends on the continuous delivery of vesicles to the
growing tips. It is unclear how fast‐growing hyphae coordinate simultaneous cell extension …

The coupling of endocytosis and exocytosis underlies fundamental biological processes
ranging from fertilization to neuronal activity and cellular polarity. However, the mechanisms …

We have used comprehensive synthetic lethal screens and biochemical assays to examine
the biological role of the yeast amphiphysin homologues Rvs161p and Rvs167p, two …

The basal fungus Mucor circinelloides has become, in recent years, a valuable model to
study RNA-mediated gene silencing or RNA interference (RNAi). Serendipitously …

Apical secretion at hyphal tips is important for the growth and development of filamentous
fungi. In this study, we analyzed the role of the Rab GTPases FoSec4 involved in the …
