Transcript profiling of Candida albicans amino acid starvation response (Hélène Tournu, Abigail Mavor, Gwyneth Bertram, and Alistair Brown, Aberdeen University) This page provides transcript profiling data performed to examine the CaGcn4 and CaGcn2 regulons. The response to amino acid starvation
(General Amino Acid Control) is a very well characterized mechanism in
the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It involves the transcription
factor Gcn4, which activates target genes via the responsive element GCRE
in response to amino acid starvation. The regulation of GCN4 activation
is dependent upon four small open reading frames upstream of start codon
in the GCN4 mRNA, which regulate the efficiency and kinetics of
GCN4 translation. Translational Induction of GCN4 involves
the phosphorylation of the initiation factor eIF2a subunit by the Gcn2 protein
kinase. The Candida albicans GCN4 homologue was shown
to mediate a similar response under inducible conditions, and also to
be partly involved in the morphogenetic switch from yeast to pseudohyphal
growth (Tripathi et al. (2002) EMBO Journal 21, 5448-5456).
The C. albicans Gcn2 homologue shares 37% overall identity with
ScGcn2, and 47% identity within the protein kinase domain. Although CaGcn2
is an eIF2a kinase, which phosphorylates
this factor in response to amino acid starvation, strains lacking functional
Gcn2 are resistant to the histidine analogue 3-Aminotriazole (3AT) and
moreover are still capable of initiating the general amino acid response.
