1 We have identified a gene, FLO11, that encodes a cell wall protein which is critically required for both invasion and pseudohyphae formation in response to nitrogen starvation. Nitrogen Flo11p Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
2 FLO11 encodes a cell surface flocculin with a structure similar to the class of yeast serine/threonine-rich GPI-anchored cell wall proteins. Serine Flo11p Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
3 FLO11 encodes a cell surface flocculin with a structure similar to the class of yeast serine/threonine-rich GPI-anchored cell wall proteins. Threonine Flo11p Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
4 Upon transfer to nitrogen starvation media, however, FLO11 transcripts accumulate in diploid cells, but not in haploids. Nitrogen Flo11p Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
5 Overexpression of FLO11 in diploid cells, which are otherwise not invasive, enables them to invade agar. Agar Flo11p Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
