Sixty alleles of the ALS7 open reading frame in Candida albicans: ALS7 is a hypermutable contingency locus.

Genome research - 1 Sept 2003

Zhang Ningxin, Harrex Annette L, Holland Barbara R, Fenton Lauren E, Cannon Richard D, Schmid Jan

Abstract excerpt

The ALS (agglutinin-like sequence) gene family encodes proteins that play a role in adherence of the yeast Candida albicans to endothelial and epithelial cells. The proteins are proposed as virulence factors for this important fungal pathogen of humans. We analyzed 66 C. albicans strains, represe...
