Functional characterization of the small heat shock protein Hsp12p from Candida albicans. by Man-Shun Fu, Luisa De Sordi, Fritz A Mühlschlegel

“…Notably we show that the key transcription factor Efg1p acts as a positive regulator of CaHsp12p in response to heat shock and oxidative stress and demonstrate that CaHsp12p expression is additionally modulated by Hog1p and the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway. To study the function of Hsp12p in C. albicans we generated a null mutant, in which all four CaHSP12 genes have been deleted. …”
