Abstract excerpt
The centromere binding factor 1 (Cbf1) is necessary for proper chromosome segregation and transcriptional activation of methionine biosynthesis genes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is essential for viability in the related yeasts Kluyveromyces lactis and Candida glabrata. To study the function of Cbf1p in Candida albicans, the major human fungal pathogen, we constructed strains in which both alleles of...
