Abstract excerpt
Cell chain formation is a characteristic of filamentous growth in fungi. How it is regulated developmentally in multimorphic fungi is not known. In Candida albicans, degradation of septa during yeast growth is accomplished by enzymes encoded by Ace2 activated genes expressed in G(1). We found that phosphorylation of a conserved developmental regulator, Efg1, by the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc28-Hgc1...
