A crucial component is RNA regulation mediated by RNA- binding proteins (RBPs). However, little is known about the spatiotemporal RNA control mechanisms during fungal pathogenicity. Here, we discover that the RBP Khd4 defines a distinct mRNA regulon to orchestrate membrane trafficking during pathogenic development of Ustilago maydis. By establishing hyperTRIBE for fungal RBPs, we generated a com-prehensive transcriptome- wide map of Khd4 interactions in vivo. We identify a defined set of target mRNAs enriched for regulatory proteins involved, e.g., in GTPase sign-aling. Khd4 controls the stability of target mRNAs via its cognate regulatory element AUACCC present in their 3′ untranslated regions. Studying individual examples reveals a unique link between Khd4 and vacuole maturation. Thus, we uncover a distinct role for an RNA stability factor defining a specific mRNA regulon for membrane trafficking during pathogenicity. +## Studies + +The [Studies (S)](https://git.nfdi4plants.org/sankaran/Sankaranarayanan-2023/-/tree/master/studies) are named after the names of the chapters in the publication. + +S1_Loss_of_Khd4_Causes_Defects_in_Polar_Growth_of_Infectious_Hyphae +S2_Establishing_HyperTRIBE_for_Fungal_RBPs +S3_Khd4_Interacts_with_mRNAs_Enriched_for_Its_Binding_Motif_AUACCC +S4_Loss_of_Khd4_Increases_the_Abundance_of_mRNAs_with_AUACCC_Motif_in_Their_3UTR +S5_AUACCC_in_the_3_UTR_Functions_as_a_Khd4-Dependent_mRNA_Stability_Element +S6_Khd4_Tightly_Regulates_the_Expression_of_Distinct_Targets_Involved_in_Membrane_Trafficking +S7_Loss_of_Khd4_Causes_Dysregulation_of_Membrane-Trafficking_Factors_in_khd4D_Cells +S8_Loss_of_Khd4_Causes_Defects_in_Vacuole_Formation_and_Localization + +## Assays +The [Assays (A)](https://git.nfdi4plants.org/sankaran/Sankaranarayanan-2023/-/tree/master/assays) folder contains the results of the individual experiments.
