Eukaryotic cells possess an exquisitely interwoven and fine-tuned series of signal
transduction mechanisms with which to sense and respond to the ubiquitous fermentable …

Many of the major human fungal pathogens are known to undergo morphological changes,
which in certain cases are associated with virulence. Although there has been an intense …

Background Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most abundant materials for biochemicals
production. However, efficient co-utilization of glucose and xylose from the lignocellulosic …

Since complete redundancy between extant duplicates (paralogs) is evolutionarily
unfavorable, some degree of functional congruency is eventually lost. However, in budding …

Cell–cell and cell–surface adherence represents initial steps in forming multicellular
aggregates or in establishing cell–surface interactions. The commonly used Saccharomyces …

Botrytis cinerea is a plant pathogenic fungus with a broad host range. Due to its rapid growth
and reproduction by asexual spores (conidia), which increases the inoculum pressure, the …

Objective The regulator in glycerol repression of Pichia pastoris AOX1 promoter (P AOX1) is
still unclear. Results A Cys 2 His 2 zinc finger transcriptional repressor PpNrg1 localized to …

Conidial separation 1 (CSP1) is a global transcription repressor. It is expressed under
control of the white collar complex (WCC), the core transcription factor of the circadian clock …

The divergently transcribed DIT1 and DIT2 genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which
belong to the mid-late class of sporulation-specific genes, are subject to Ssn6-Tup1 …

Intrinsic signals and external cues from the environment drive cell fate decisions. In budding
yeast, the decision to enter meiosis is controlled by nutrient and mating-type signals that …
