The Aspergillus nidulans orthologue of Protein kinase C (PkcA) and the A. nidulans formin SepA participate in polarized growth. PkcA localizes to growing hyphal apices and septation sites, and amino acid sequences within PkcA that are required for PkcA to localize to these sites of cell wall synthesis have been identified.

- W Toler Freyaldenhoven's research primarily focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying growth and development in fungi, particularly the role of protein interactions in these processes.
- One significant study published in 2019 explores the interaction between Protein kinase C (PkcA) and the formin SepA in Aspergillus nidulans, demonstrating their critical involvement in polarized growth and septation.
- The research identifies specific amino acid sequences within PkcA that are essential for its localization to hyphal tips and septation sites, contributing to our understanding of fungal cell wall synthesis mechanisms.
