ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to histidine kinases, including osmosensing fungal histidine kinases. In particular, the present invention provides amino acid and nucleic acid sequences of fungal histidine kinases from organisms such as Candida (e.g., C. albicans) and Neurospora (e.g., N. crassa). The present invention further provides compositions and methods for the development of antifungal compounds.
