Abstract excerpt
Blue light regulates diverse physiological and developmental processes in fungi. Our prior studies demonstrated that the evolutionally conserved Cwc1 and Cwc2 proteins mediate the blue light-inhibited sexual filamentation in Cryptococcus neoformans. To characterize the putative domains of the Cwc1 and Cwc2 proteins, we generated partially deleted versions of these genes under the GPD1 promoter and examined their...
