Abstract excerpt
The Candida albicans gene EFG1 encodes a putative trans-acting factor. In strain WO-1, which undergoes the white-opaque transition, EFG1 is transcribed as a 3.2-kb mRNA in white-phase cells and a less-abundant 2.2-kb mRNA in opaque-phase cells. cDNA sequencing and 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends analysis demonstrate that the major difference in molecular mass of the two transcripts is due to different...
