A Human-Curated Annotation of the Candida albicans Genome (2005)

Burkhard R. Braun, Christophe D'Enfert, Mikhail Martchenko, Jan Dungan, Alan Kuo, ...

Recent sequencing and assembly of the genome for the fungal pathogen Candida albicans used simple automated procedures for the identification of putative genes. We have reviewed the entire assembly,...

Phenotypic analysis of genes encoding yeast zinc cluster proteins

Akache, Bassel, Wu, Keqiang, Turcotte, Bernard

Zinc cluster proteins (or binuclear cluster proteins) possess zinc fingers of the Zn(II)2Cys6-type involved in DNA recognition as exemplified by the well-characterized protein Gal4p. These fungal...

Fusions with histone H3 result in highly specific alteration of gene expression

Ha, Nhuan, Hellauer, Karen, Turcotte, Bernard

Hap1 is a yeast transcriptional activator which controls expression of genes such as CYC1 and CYC7. Our results show that Hap1 activity is dependent on a functional chromatin remodeling complex...

Candida albicans Zinc Cluster Protein Upc2p Confers Resistance to Antifungal Drugs and Is an Activator of Ergosterol Biosynthetic Genes

MacPherson, Sarah, Akache, Bassel, Weber, Sandra, De Deken, Xavier, Raymond, Martine, Turcotte, Bernard

The human pathogen Candida albicans is responsible for a large proportion of infections in immunocompromised individuals, and the emergence of drug-resistant strains is of medical concern. Resistance...

Oxidative Stress-Activated Zinc Cluster Protein Stb5 Has Dual Activator/Repressor Functions Required for Pentose Phosphate Pathway Regulation and NADPH Production†

Larochelle, Marc, Drouin, Simon, Robert, François, Turcotte, Bernard

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, zinc cluster protein Pdr1 can form homodimers as well as heterodimers with Pdr3 and Stb5, suggesting that different combinations of these proteins may regulate the...

A Fungal Family of Transcriptional Regulators: the Zinc Cluster Proteins

MacPherson, Sarah, Larochelle, Marc, Turcotte, Bernard

The trace element zinc is required for proper functioning of a large number of proteins, including various enzymes. However, most zinc-containing proteins are transcription factors capable of binding...

Regulation of Gluconeogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Is Mediated by Activator and Repressor Functions of Rds2▿

Soontorngun, Nitnipa, Larochelle, Marc, Drouin, Simon, Robert, François, Turcotte, Bernard

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RDS2 encodes a zinc cluster transcription factor with unknown function. Here, we unravel a key function of Rds2 in gluconeogenesis using chromatin...
