Are het-d and het-e capable of recognizing het-c because of shared ancestry? No! It turns out they are not that closely related, judging by phylogenies along the gene for a bunch of NLRs in Podospora. 7/n
July 2, 2025 at 6:10 PM
In the model fungus #Podospora anserina, the het-d
and het-e NLRs are highly polymorphic genes, whose products recognize different alleles of another gene, het-c. If two confronting strains have incompatible het-e/d and het-c alleles, a rejection reaction occurs. 3/n

Reconstructing NOD-like receptor alleles with high internal conservation in Podospora anserina using long-read sequencing
NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are intracellular immune receptors that detect pathogen-associated cues and trigger defence mechanisms, including regulated cell death. In filamentous fungi, some NLRs mediat...

I am very proud to be part of this story!
Nuclei undergo extreme stretching and travel at an incredible speed in the hyphae of our favorite #fungus #Podospora anserina.

Genetic differentiation in the MAT-proximal region is not sufficient for suppressing recombination in Podospora anserina academic.oup.com/g3journal/ar...
Genetic differentiation in the MAT-proximal region is not sufficient for suppressing recombination in Podospora anserina
Abstract. Recombination is advantageous over the long-term, as it allows efficient selection and purging deleterious mutations. Nevertheless, recombination

Happy to share the last #Podospora paper!

With @tatianagiraud.bsky.social we show that the sequence polymorphisms around the mating-type are rather a consequence than the cause of recombination inhibition.
