Transcription factor Ste12
InterPro entry
Short name | Ste12 |
Description
This entry include a group of fungal transcription factors, including Ste12, Cph1, SteA and MST12. In S. cerevisiae, Ste12 mediates transcriptional induction of cell type-specific genes in response to pheromones
[2, 1]. Aspergillus nidulans SteA, an homodomain-containing protein, is required for sexual reproduction
[3]. MST12 from Magnaporthe oryzae (rice blast fungus) may regulate genes involved in infectious hyphae growth
[4] and in the expression of the cell surface sensor MSB2
[5].
