UvATG6 Interacts with BAX Inhibitor 1 Proteins and Plays Critical Roles in Growth, Conidiation, and Virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens
ABSTRACT Autophagy and apoptosis are evolutionarily conserved catabolic processes involved in regulating development and cellular homeostasis.Bax inhibitor 1 (BI-1) and umpqua u series hooks autophagy protein 6 (ATG6) perform essential functions in these roles, such as cellular differentiation and virulence in various filamentous fungi.However, the
