Characterization and Expression Analysis of the Sterol C-5 Desaturase Gene <i>PcERG3</i> in the Mycobiont of the Lichen <i>Peltigera canina</i> Under Abiotic Stresses by Moatasem A. Swid, Milana V. Koulintchenko, Alfred O. Onele, Ilya Y. Leksin, Daniya F. Rakhmatullina, Ekaterina I. Galeeva, Julia N. Valitova, Farida V. Minibayeva, Richard P. Beckett

“…The differential expression of <i>PcERG3</i> in response to temperature stress, a dehydration/rehydration cycle, and heavy metal exposure suggests that it plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance between more and less saturated sterols and, more generally, in membrane functioning. The multifaceted response of <i>P. canina</i> to abiotic stresses was documented by simultaneously measuring changes in the expression of <i>PcERG3</i>, as well as the genes encoding the heat shock proteins, <i>PcHSP20</i> and <i>PcHSP98</i>, and <i>PcSOD1</i>, which encodes the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. (4) Conclusions: These findings suggest that PcERG3 is similar to the sterol C-5 desaturases from related and free-living fungi and plays important roles in the molecular mechanisms underlying the tolerance of lichens to environmental stress.…”
