Abstract excerpt
In response to nitrogen starvation, the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans switches from yeast to filamentous growth. This morphogenetic switch is controlled by the ammonium permease Mep2p, whose expression is induced under limiting nitrogen conditions. In order to understand in more detail how nitrogen starvation-induced filamentous growth is regulated in C. albicans, we identified the cis-acting sequences...
