Coordinate genomic association of transcription factors controlled by an imported quorum sensing peptide in Cryptococcus neoformans.
Qsp1 is a secreted quorum sensing peptide required for virulence of the fungal meningitis pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Qsp1 functions to control cell wall integrity in vegetatively growing cells and also functions in mating. Rather than acting on a cell surface receptor, Qsp1 is imported to act...
