The Vps21 signalling pathway regulates white-opaque switching and mating in Candida albicans by Fei Zhao, Han Du, Qiushi Zheng, Jian Bing, Li Tao, Clarissa J. Nobile, Guanghua Huang

“…However, compared to the wildtype strain, the vps21/vps21, vps9/vps9, vps3/vps3, vac1/vac1, and pep12/pep12 mutant strains exhibited dramatically reduced mating efficiencies. Quantitative RT-PCR assays demonstrated that inactivation of the Vps21 signalling pathway led to downregulation of pheromone expression and mating response pathway associated genes. …”
