Abstract
Coronin plays a major role in the organization and dynamics of actin in yeast. To investigate the role of coronin in a
filamentous fungus (Neurospora crassa), we examined its subcellular localization using fluorescent proteins and the
¨
phenotypic consequences of coronin gene (crn-1) deletion in hyphal morphogenesis, Spitzenkorper behavior and
endocytosis. Coronin-GFP was localized in patches, forming a subapical collar near the hyphal apex; significantly, it was
absent from the apex. The subapical patches of coronin colocalized with fimbrin, Arp2/3 complex, and actin, altogether
comprising the endocytic collar. Deletion of crn-1 resulted in reduced hyphal growth rates, distorted hyphal morphology,
uneven wall thickness, and delayed establishment of polarity during germination; it also affected growth directional
