Project description:Goal: We employed RNA-seq to identify targets of regulation of the Candida albicans transcription regulator CUP9. The cup9 deletion mutant strain displays increased fitness in a mouse model of oropharyngeal candidiasis.
Project description:We employed RNA-Seq to identify targets of regulation of the transcription regualtor ZCF8 in nitrogen-starved Candida albicans cells.
Project description:Goal: We employed RNA-seq to identify targets of regulation of five Candida albicans transcription regulators (Try4, Zfu2 and Zcf8). These regulators were identifyed through a genetic screen in a gnotobiotic mouse model of Candida albicans gut colonization. Results: We found that the five regulators comprise a complex transcriptional network (>500 targets of regulation) that partitions in two sub-networks. One sub-network is formed by Rtg1 and Rtg3. The other comprises the regulators Try4, Zfu2 and Zcf8.
