요약 | All multicellular organisms face a challenge: resources must be distributed throughout their bodies to ensure continued growth and coordinate cellular activities, but once resources are socialized, how can cells be coerced into working for the organism as a whole, rather than individually reproducing at the expense of the body they inhabit? Solutions to this freeloader problem usually rely on aligning the reproductive interests of all cells in a body by ensuring all are genetically identical. However, such solutions pose problems for organisms with indeterminate colonial growth habits, a lifestyle characterized by vegetative expansion, fragmentation, and reintegration of separated fragments. The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa exemplifies this lifestyle. Its body is a cross-linked syncytial network produced by the fusion of many cells. Individual nuclei flow throughout the colony, making all the products of each nucleus potentially available to freeloaders. To keep the reproductive interests of all nuclei aligned, N. crassa must restrict fusion to genetically cells. The fungus prevents non-self fusion using an array of non-self recognition (NSR) systems.NSR systems are encoded by polymorphic kind recognition loci. Each NSR locus enables cells to behave differently toward other individuals with the same haplotype than they do toward individuals with distinct haplotypes. At least two haplotypes at an NSR locus must exist in a population for the system to function. If many NSR loci are spread throughout an organisms genome, the net output of all NSR systems transitions to kin recognition |
