SFB 670 TP2: Molecular mechanisms of host cell entry by phytopathogenic powdery mildew fungi via suppression of cell-autonomous plant defence
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 670
Contract period: 01.01.2006
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Basic research
Isoforms of plasma membrane-localized MLO and SNARE proteins are plant polypeptides involved in the regulation of host cell entry by phytopathogenic powdery mildew fungi. MLO and t-SNAREs (syntaxins) interact with each other and are part of a plasma membrane microdomain that is formed at fungal entry sites and which comprises a subset of plant plasma membrane proteins. In the context of this project it is aimed to unravel whether this microdomain corresponds to 'lipid rafts' which are well-known in animal cells. In addition, the spatio-temporal interaction dynamics between MLO and SNARE proteins will be determined by using quantitative in vivo imaging techniques such as FRET, FCS and FCCS.
