Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans hyphal formation is inhibited by a quorum-sensing molecule, farnesoic acid, which accumulates in the medium as the cells proliferate. We recently showed that Pho81 is essential for the inhibition of hyphal growth by farnesoic acid. Here, we describe a newly identified regulator, Hot1, which increases the expression of PHO81. The binding site of Hot1 in the PHO81 promoter region was identified by...
