Transcriptional network controlled by Candida glabrata Ada2, a transcription coactivator

In order to identify genes governed by Ada2, a transcription coactivator in C. glabrata, we compared the genome-wide expression profile in wild-type strain CBS138 and ada2 mutant via RNA sequencing. According to our analyses, 43 genes were down- and 443 genes were up-regulated in ada2 mutant when compared with the wild-type. The 43 down-regulated genes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis pathway (ERG6, ERG13), adhesin or adhesin-like genes (ICS2, AWP2, EPA7), heat shock genes (HSP30, SSB2) and other cellular functions. Among the 443 up-regulated genes, nine adhesin-like EPA family genes (EPA1, EPA6, EPA8, EPA10, EPA11, EPA12, EPA15, EPA20, EPA23) and three yapsin family genes (YPS4, YPS8, YPS10) were included. Overall design: Total mRNAs extracted from C. glabrata wild-type CBS138 and ada2 mutant were analyzed using RNA sequencing
