Allelic variation in the contiguous loci encoding Candida albicans ALS5, ALS1 and ALS9.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Oct 2003

Zhao Xiaomin, Pujol Claude, Soll David R, Hoyer Lois L

Abstract excerpt

The ALS gene family of Candida albicans consists of eight genes (ALS1 to ALS7 and ALS9) that encode cell-wall glycoproteins involved in adhesion to host surfaces. Considerable allelic sequence variability has been documented for regions of ALS genes encoding repeated sequences. Although regions of ALS genes encoding non-repeated sequences tend to be more conserved, some sequence divergence has been noted,...
