- Mechanism The bHLH transcription factor UvBhlh6 of U. virens plays a critical role during infection of rice.
- Observation UvBhlh6 physically interacts with UvBhlh1, UvBhlh4 and UvBhlh7 and also forms homodimers.
- Observation UvBhlh1 was also essential for full virulence of U. virens.
- Observation UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 form a heterodimer.
- Mechanism UvBhlh1 mediates the nuclear localisation of UvBhlh6, enabling their cooperative regulation of downstream target genes.
- Intervention effect ΔUvbhlh1 and ΔUvbhlh6 mutants showed reduced tolerance to H2O2-induced oxidative stress.
- Observation Affinity capture and mass spectrometry identified UvBhlh6-interacting proteins including UvGal10, UvIdh1 and Pot1.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that bHLH transcription factors play conserved roles in modulating carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in fungi.
