Calcium ions (Ca2þ) are required for hyphal growth and development in filamentous fungi. During tip growth in mycelial extension, the model filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa relies upon an internally generated Ca2þ gradient to maintain polar growth, indicating that the filamentous morphology is controlled by intracellular Ca2þ gradients and calcium signaling factors (Jackson and Heath 1993; Levina et al. 1995; Prokisch et al. 1997; Alcantara-Sanchez et al. 2004; Bowman et al. 2011; Riquelme et al. 2011). Calcium signaling factors, such as calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinases that respond to changes in cytosolic free Ca2þ concentration, have been identified in N. crassa (Tamuli et al. 2013; Kumar and Tamuli 2014). Acute Ca2þ gradients in mycelial tips are created by a stretchactivated phospholipase C, which produces inositol trisphosphates that activate an ion channel to release Ca2þ at the tip (Silverman-Gavrila and Lew 2001, 2003). Deletion mutants of phospholipase C1 in N. crassa (plc-1 and splA2) show growth defects in response to an increase in Ca2þ concentration induced by a Ca2þ ionophore A23187 (Barman and Tamuli 2015). Additionally, several studies have suggested that Ca2þ-mediated signaling also regulates fungal thigmotropism, ie, hyphal growth response to mechanical stimuli. This phenomenon has been widely observed in fungi such as Candida albicans (Brand and Gow 2009; Brand et al. 2009), Aspergillus niger (Fischer et al. 2008), Magnaporthe grisea (Tucker and Talbot 2001), and N. crassa (Bowman et al. 2011, 2012). Both frost (fr) and spray (sp) single mutants of N. crassa have been reported to show significantly lower growth rates and hyperbranched mycelial phenotypes that can be restored by exogenous Ca2þ (Dicker and Turian 1990; Sone and Griffiths 1999; Bok et al. 2001). fr is an ortholog of the S. cerevisiae CDC1 gene, which encodes the essential lipid phosphatase Cdc1 that participates in calcium signaling by regulating cytosolic Mn2þ levels in the endoplasmic reticulum (Rossanese et al. 2001; Losev et al. 2008). CDC1 mutants are temperature-sensitive and have elevated intracellular Ca2þ levels at the restrictive temperature (Loukin and Kung 1995; Paidhungat and Garrett 1998a, b; Losev et al. 2008). Such CDC1-related phenotypes are suppressed by deletion of PER1 (Losev et al. 2008). Saccharomyces cerevisiae Per1 functions as a phospholipase A2-like protein, which is required for the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) remodeling pathway. The absence of Per1 may impair the association of GPI-anchored proteins to the membrane and alters phosphatidylinositol moieties in GPI anchors in yeast (Fujita et al. 2006). The N. crassa fr mutant has higher sensitivities to both Mn2þ and the calcineurin inhibitor FK506 (Sone and Griffiths 1999), indicating that FROST contributes to Mn2þ homeostasis and calcium signaling. Another N. crassa gene, sp, is a filamentous fungus-specific gene that encodes SPRAY, a putative calcium ion channel protein; unlike FROST, however, little is known about its function. SPRAY localizes in organelle membranes and likely contributes to the distribution of Ca2þ via calcineurin, as the mutant lacking sp is sensitive to FK506 (Bok et al. 2001). In filamentous fungi, morphological changes during growth require remodeling of the cell wall polysaccharide network (Bowman and Free 2006; Latge 2007; Kamei et al. 2013). The fungal cell wall is primarily composed of glucans, chitin, mannans, and glycoproteins. A number of cell wall proteins are modified by GPI anchors to allow stacking to plasma membrane exteriors. GPI anchors undergo modification on lipid moieties …
