Abstract excerpt

The putative Cryptococcus neoformans pheromone receptor gene CPRalpha was isolated and studied for its role in mating and filamentation. CPRalpha is MATalpha specific and located adjacent to STE12alpha at the MATalpha locus. It encodes a protein which possesses high sequence similarity to the seven-transmembrane class of G-protein-coupled pheromone receptors reported for other basidiomycetous fungi. Strains...
