Protein
Mating-type-like protein ALPHA1
Organism
Candida albicans (strain SC5314 / ATCC MYA-2876)
Function
Mating type proteins are sequence specific DNA-binding proteins that act as master switches in yeast differentiation by controlling gene expression in a cell type-specific fashion. Transcriptional activator that induces the transcription of alpha-specific mating genes.
Similarity
Belongs to the MATALPHA1 family.
