Alpha-pheromone-induced "shmooing" and gene regulation require white-opaque switching during Candida albicans mating.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Oct 2003

Lockhart Shawn R, Zhao Rui, Daniels Karla J, Soll David R

Abstract excerpt

A 14-mer alpha-pheromone peptide of Candida albicans was chemically synthesized and used to analyze the role of white-opaque switching in the mating process. The alpha-pheromone peptide blocked cell multiplication and induced "shmooing" in a/a cells expressing the opaque-phase phenotype but not in a/a cells expressing the white-phase phenotype. The alpha-pheromone peptide induced these effects at 25 degrees C but...
