The Cryptococcus neoformans STE12alpha gene: a putative Saccharomyces cerevisiae STE12 homologue that is mating type specific.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Dec 1997

Wickes B L, Edman U, Edman J C

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans possesses two mating types, MATalpha and MATa. Alpha-Cells are more virulent than a-cells and are also, unlike a-cells, capable of producing extensive hyphae in the haploid phase. The molecular analysis of hyphae production in C. neoformans has resulted in the identification of a gene which displays substantial similarity to other fungal STE12 genes, including the presence of a highly...
