Trichoderma reesei XYR1 activates cellulase gene expression via interaction with the Mediator subunit TrGAL11 to recruit RNA polymerase II.

The ascomycete Trichoderma reesei is a highly prolific cellulase producer. While XYR1 (Xylanase regulator 1) has been firmly established to be the master activator of cellulase gene expression in T. reesei, its precise transcriptional activation mechanism remains poorly understood. In the present st...
