How a Mycoparasite Employs G-Protein Signaling: Using the Example of Trichoderma

Figure 1

Relationship of fungal Gα amino acid sequences of subgroups I and III whose members Tga1 and Tga3 were shown to be essential for mycoparasitism of T. atroviride. In addition, the fourth Gα subunit only present in U. maydis (Gpa4) and A. oryzae (GaoC) were included and are indicated as subgroup IV. The tree was generated using Neighbor-Joining algorithm subsequent to CLUSTALX alignment. The fourth Gα subunit of U. maydis Gpa4 has been defined as outgroup. Abbreviations used: Ao: Aspergillus oryzae; Mg: Magnaporthe grisea; Nc: Neurospora crassa; Ta: Trichoderma atroviride; Tr: Trichoderma reesei; Tv: Trichoderma virens; Um: Ustilago maydis.
