Yeast filamentation signaling is connected to a specific substrate translocation mechanism of the Mep2 transceptor.
The dimorphic transition from the yeast to the filamentous form of growth allows cells to explore their environment for more suitable niches and is often crucial for the virulence of pathogenic fungi. In contrast to their Mep1/3 paralogues, fungal Mep2-type ammonium transport proteins of the conserv...
