Characterization of the MFα pheromone of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans

1 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans is an important human pathogenic fungus with a defined sexual cycle and well-developed molecular and genetic approaches. C. neoformans is predominantly haploid and has two mating types, MATa and MATalpha. Mating is known to be regulated by nutritional limitation and thought also to be regulated by pheromones. Previously, a portion of the MATalpha locus was cloned, and a presumptive...
