Abstract excerpt
The Efg1p regulator protein permits hyphal morphogenesis in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. We have identified the major promoter of the EFG1 gene as a direct target of Efg1p, resulting in negative autoregulation of EFG1. Enhanced activity of protein kinase A (PKA) isoforms Tpk1p and Tpk2p or exogenous overexpression of EFG1 led to Efg1p-dependent down-regulation of the endogenous EFG1 promoter....
