Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans, a major opportunistic fungal pathogen of humans, can spontaneously undergo white-to-opaque switching, a prerequisite of mating. The phenotypes of white and opaque cells are heritable and bistable. The zinc-finger transcription factor Wor2 (White Opaque Regulator 2) has previously been identified as an important regulator of white-to-opaque switching. Deletion of WOR2 locks cells in the white...
