The SKN7 two-component response regulator gene of Candida albicans was deleted, and the phenotype of the mutant was established. This mutant exhibited impaired growth on Spider agar and 10% serum agar compared to wild-type and gene-reconstituted strains. The skn7 mutant was sensitive to H(2)O(2) in vitro, but its virulence was only mildly attenuated. A comparison of the Skn7p and Ssk1p response regulators of C. albicans is discussed.
白色念珠菌的双组分反应调节基因SKN7被敲除,并确定了突变体的表型。与野生型和基因重组菌株相比,该突变体在蜘蛛琼脂和10%血清琼脂上生长受损。skn7突变体在体外对H₂O₂敏感,但其毒力仅轻度减弱。文中讨论了白色念珠菌的Skn7p和Ssk1p反应调节因子的比较。
