Abstract excerpt
Recently, we have reported that the conditional mutant of the heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) in Candida albicans displays enhanced susceptibility not only towards a plant alkaloid, berberine, but also to diverse antifungal drugs. The present study attempts to identify additional phenotypes highlighting the non-heat shock responsive roles of HSF1 that could be correlated with the enhanced drug susceptibility. We...
