Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans, the major fungal pathogen in humans, undergoes morphological conversion from yeasts to filamentous growth forms depending upon various environmental conditions. Here, we have identified a C. albicans gene, namely SSN6, encoding a putative global transcriptional co-repressor that is highly homologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ssn6. The isolated C. albicans SSN6 complemented the pleiotropic...
