The G Protein-coupled Receptor Gpr1 and the Gα Protein Gpa2 Act through the cAMP-Protein Kinase A Pathway to Induce Morphogenesis in <i>Candida albicans</i>
26 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
We investigated the role in cell morphogenesis and pathogenicity of the Candida albicans GPR1 gene, encoding the G protein-coupled receptor Gpr1. Deletion of C. albicans GPR1 has only minor effects in liquid hypha-inducing media but results in strong defects in the yeast-to-hypha transition on solid hypha-inducing media. Addition of cAMP, expression of a constitutively active allele of the Galpha protein Gpa2 or...
