Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional activator protein Gcn4p increases the transcription of many genes that code for amino acid synthesis genes during amino acid starvation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we showed that after the disruption of C-GCN4, a homolog in Candida maltosa of GCN4 in S. cerevisiae, formed pseudohyphae in minimal medium. This is the first report that a GCN4 homolog is involved in the control of...
