🧬 BRET + pulldown + microscopy = evidence for peroxidase-triggered FgSte2–FgSte3 heterodimerization in Fusarium graminearum.
This GPCR pairing may help fungi detect host-derived ROS and navigate toward infection sites.

One cool insight from #PSBS24 for me came from Alexander Idnurm (Uni Melbourne).
I learned about the Repeat-Induced Point Mutation (RIP) mechanism in fungi as genome defense system.

RIP can detect #TransposableElements and "kill" them through targeted mutations.

Background Fungal plant pathogens have dynamic genomes that allow them to rapidly adapt to adverse conditions and overcome host resistance. One way by which this dynamic genome plasticity is expressed...
