Biologists have gained new insights into specific enzymes that effect the specialization of fungal cells. Analyzing the microscopic fungus Sordaria macrospora, they demonstrated that the KIN3 enzyme connects different cellular signalling pathways that are involved in developmental processes. Thus, it is crucial for the sexual life cycle of the fungus.
