Transcriptional and translational regulation of C. albicans GCN4 expression. (A) The wild-type and gcn2 mutant strains were treated with the indicated concentrations of 3AT for 3 h, and GCN4-Luc activity was measured (RLU). (B) The wild-type and gcn2 mutant were treated with 3AT as above, and GCN4-Luc mRNA levels are expressed relative to GAPDH. (C) GCRE-Luc activity is shown for the wild-type and gcn2 mutant treated with 3AT as above.
