Discovering the secrets of the Candida albicans agglutinin-like sequence (ALS) gene family--a sticky pursuit.

Medical mycology - 1 Feb 2008

Hoyer Lois L, Green Clayton B, Oh Soon-Hwan, Zhao Xiaomin

Abstract excerpt

The agglutinin-like sequence (ALS) family of Candida albicans includes eight genes that encode large cell-surface glycoproteins. The high degree of sequence relatedness between the ALS genes and the tremendous allelic variability often present in the same C. albicans strain complicated definition and characterization of the gene family. The main hypothesis driving ALS family research is that the genes encode...
