MFalpha1, the gene encoding the alpha mating pheromone of Candida albicans.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Dec 2003

Panwar Sneh L, Legrand Melanie, Dignard Daniel, Whiteway Malcolm, Magee Paul T

Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans, the single most frequently isolated human fungal pathogen, was thought to be asexual until the recent discovery of the mating-type-like locus (MTL). Homozygous MTL strains were constructed and shown to mate. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that opaque-phase cells are more efficient in mating than white-phase cells. The similarity of the genes involved in the mating pathway in Saccharomyces...
