These 2 cell types differ in many characteristics, including cell structure, mating competence, and virulence. Each state is heritable for many generations, and switching between states occurs stochastically, at low frequency. Antagonizes the action of WOR1, WOR2 and CZF1, and promotes the white state. In white cells, EFG1 represses WOR1 indirectly through WOR2 to maintain white cell identity. Binds target gene promoters at the EFG1 recognition sequenc [...] (550 aa)

Involved in regulation of chlamydospore formation, hyphal growth, virulence, and stress response. Plays a key role in regulating true hyphal growth, but does not regulate pseudohyphal growth in the same fashion. Directs transcriptional repression of a subset of filament-specific genes such as HWP1, HYR1, ALS8, HWP1, or ECE1; via the TUP1 pathway. Functions with UME6 in a negative feedback loop to control the level and duration of filament- specific gene expression in r [...] (310 aa)
AHR1Adhesion and hyphal regulator 1; Transcription factor that binds the promoters of genes involved in biofilm formation, which include several key adhesion genes, and recruits MCM1 to these sites. Plays an important role in hyphal growth and virulence. Promotes conversion of opaque cells to white phase, but needs existence of EFG1, a key regulator required for maintenance of the white state. (624 aa)
GAL4Galactose-responsive transcription factor. (261 aa)
OPT5Opt5p. (921 aa)
IHD1Induced during hyphae development protein 1; GPI-anchored cell wall protein that may be involved in cell wall organization, hyphal growth, as well as in virulence. Belongs to the IHD1 family. (392 aa)
MCM1Transcription factor of morphogenesis MCM1; Transcription factor that is recruited by AHR1 to the promoters of genes involved in biofilm formation, which include several key adhesion genes. Plays an important role in cell adhesion, hyphal growth and virulence. Implicated in the regulation of opaque-phase- specific gene expression. (262 aa)
KEX1Pheromone-processing carboxypeptidase KEX1; Protease with a carboxypeptidase B-like function involved in the C-terminal processing of the lysine and arginine residues from protein precursors. Promotes cell fusion and is involved in the programmed cell death (By similarity). (702 aa)
TEC1Transcription activator TEC1; Transcription factor which regulates genes involved in hyphal development, cell adhesion, biofilm development, and virulence. Plays a role in the formation of 'finger' morphology, a unique multicellular morphology of C.albicans induced by carbon dioxide. Regulates gene expression during intestinal colonization. Required for the expression of the secreted aspartyl proteinases SAP4, SAP5, and SAP6; but also of BCR1, PGA4, and CDC24. Moreover, a positive feedback loop between CDC24 and TEC1 contributes to an increase in active CDC42 at the tip of the germ tub [...] (743 aa)

DEF1Transcriptional regulator DEF1; Transcriptional regulator involved in extension of germ tubes into elongated hyphae and maintenance of filamentous growth. Regulates expression of UME6. Acts in a pathway that regulates maintenance of hyphal growth by repressing hyphal-to-yeast transition and allows dissemination within host epithelial tissues. Dispensable for invasion into both host oral epithelial cells and enterocytes, but required for epithelial damage. (887 aa)
TUP1Transcriptional repressor TUP1; Represses transcription by RNA polymerase II. Represses genes responsible for initiating filamentous growth such as HWP1, RBT1, RBT2, RBT4, RBT5, RBT7 and WAP1; and this repression is lifted under inducing environmental conditions.
