Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Candida glabrata CBS138 delta-vph2 mutant, compared to the wild-type strain in SC broth (pH5.0 and pH7.4). VPH2 gene encodes a protein that is the assembly factor of a functional V-ATPase. Loss of Vph2p leads to loss of a functional V-ATPase enzyme complex.
Project description:Pdr1 is the major regulator of azole resistance in the fungal pathogen Candida glabrata. Earlier experiments demonstrated that expression of Pdr1 itself is increased when cells lose their mitochondrial genome (rho0). Here we use chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with highthroughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to map the genomic binding sites for Pdr1 in both normal and rho0 cells. These data provide the first look at genes that are likely to represent the direct targets of Pdr1 in this important pathogen.
