Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen Candida albicans encodes at least three putative two-component histidine kinase signal transduction proteins, including Chk1p and a response regulator protein (Cssk1p). Strains deleted in CHK1 are avirulent in a murine model of hematogenously disseminated disease. The specific function of Chk1p has not been established, but hyphae of the chk1 mutant exhibit extensive flocculation while yeast...
