... a complex array of branched glycan structures. The levels of branching, or antennarity, give rise to differential biological activities for single glycoproteins. However, the precise mechanism controlling the glycan branching and glycosylation network is unknown. Here, we constructed quantitative...

..., differentiation of lobed structures in contact with cellophane, and formation of branched aggregating hyphae on cellophane and on flax cellulose fibres. Infection assays revealed that the strains suppressed in CBEL expression were not greatly affected in pathogenicity and formed branched aggregating hyphae...

..., characterized by star-burst asters. Upon removing latrunculin, hyperbranching produced abundant polar branches with normal F-actin organization throughout the colony. The results are consistent with F-actin regulating polar vesicle delivery and controlling vesicle fusion at the plasma membrane, and suggest...
