Abstract excerpt
We have analysed the effect of RAD52 deletion in several aspects of the cell biology of Candida albicans. Cultures of rad52Delta strains exhibited slow growth and contained abundant cells with a filamentous morphology. Filamentation with polarization of actin patches was accompanied by the induction of the hypha-specific genes (HSG) ECE1, HWP1 and HGC1. However, filament formation occurred in the absence of the...
