Abstract excerpt
Pneumocystis carinii (Pc) β-glucans are major components of the organism cell wall; yet, the regulation of Pc cell wall genesis and remodeling is not well understood. Ace2 transcription factors, which are present in many fungi, regulate glucanases and other enzymes needed for cell wall remodeling. The cloning and heterologous expression of PcAce2 in ace2Δ Saccharomyces cerevisiae demonstrated that PcAce2 can...
