  • Rfg1, a protein related to the hypoxic repressor Rox1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a novel DNA binding repressor of filamentation in the pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans 
    Khalaf, Roy A. (State University of New York at Albany, 2018-09-13)
    I have identified a repressor of hyphal growth in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. C. albicans is a dimorphic yeast: it can grow as single cell blastopores in rich media, but under stressful environmental conditions ...
  • Rho A and Rac1 
    Salloum, Gilbert; Jaafar, Leila; El-Sibai, Mirvat (2020-05-01)
    Cells detect external stimuli through cell-surface receptors. In cases where the stimulus is a cytokine or a growth factor, the cell responds by inducing modifications in the actin cytoskeleton. These changes are mediated ...
  • RHO A versus RHO C. (c2014) 
    Dimassi, Saleh B. Al (Lebanese American University, 2016-03-03)
