| CHARACTERIZATION | It was observed that two fungal galectins, Cgl1 and Cgl2, are differentially regulated during fruiting body formation. cgl2 expression initiated in early stages of fruiting body development (hyphal knot formation) and was maintained until maturation of the fruiting body, whereas cgl1 was specifically expressed in primordia and mature fruiting bodies. Immunofluorescence and immuno-electron microscopy studies detected galectins within specific fruiting body tissues. |
