Das Num1-Protein in Ustilago maydis: Regulation intrazellulärer Transportvorgänge durch einen globalen Splicing-Faktor

The NineTeen complex (NTC) is required for intron removal during splicing. Num1 is a conserved NTC component in Ustilago maydis. It is required for polarized growth of fungal hyphae and affects numerous NTC functions, particularly splicing is influenced on a global scale. Num1 interacting proteins include proteins with functions during trafficking like the Kin1 motor-protein, implicating novel connections between splicing and cytoplasmic transport processes
