A nuclear protein NsiA from Epichlo? festucae regulates the expression of genes required for symbiotic infection and hyphal cell fusion
A nuclear protein NsiA from Epichlo? festucae directly interacts with Ste12, a C2H2 zinc-finger transcription factor, and a MAP kinase MpkB and required for cell fusion and symbiosis. The project aims to identify genes regulated by NsiA.
