Popis: We recently characterized the histidine kinase receptor genes of Candida lusitaniae . For the present study, we have further investigated the role of SSK1 and SKN7 , encoding response regulators. The results of functional analysis of mutants indicated that Ssk1p is involved in osmotolerance and pseudohyphal development, whereas Skn7p appears crucial for oxidative stress adaptation.
