RAP1 — Candida albicans

Summary

C2_10080W_A (RAP1) in Candida albicans chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a Rap1 DNA-binding domain, a BRCT domain, and a homeobox-like superfamily fold, and is annotated for telomeric repeat binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and DNA binding. This gene is associated with telomere maintenance via telomere lengthening, telomeric silencing, and localization to the chromosome telomeric region and nucleus. It is linked to response to iron ion starvation, regulation of cellular response to drug, septin ring organization, negative regulation of pseudohyphal growth, phagocytosis, flocculation, cell adhesion, biofilm formation, filamentous growth, oxidative stress response, and NO storage.
