1 Farnesol and dodecanol effects on the Candida albicans Ras1-cAMP signalling pathway and the regulation of morphogenesis. Farnesol Ras family GTPase RAS1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
2 Candida albicans hypha formation which has been stimulated via the Ras1-cAMP-Efg1 signalling cascade is inhibited by farnesol, a C. albicans autoregulatory factor, and small molecules such as dodecanol. Farnesol Ras family GTPase RAS1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
3 Two transcripts, CTA1 and HSP12, which are at higher levels upon mutation of Ras1 or Cdc35, were increased in abundance in cells grown with farnesol or dodecanol. Farnesol Ras family GTPase RAS1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
4 Because several cAMP-controlled outputs are affected by farnesol and dodecanol, our findings suggest that these compounds impact activity of the Ras1-Cdc35 pathway, thus leading to an alteration of C. albicans morphology. Farnesol Ras family GTPase RAS1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
