Candida albicans is the most common type of fungus to cause yeast infections. Sometimes, other types of candida fungus are to blame. Common treatments usually cure a Candida albicans infection. Yeast infections caused by other types of candida fungus can be more difficult to treat, and need more aggressive therapies.
The homeodomain is the part of the protein that attaches (binds) to specific regulatory regions of the target genes. Genes in the homeobox family are involved in a wide range of critical activities during development.n humans, the homeobox gene family contains an estimated 235 functional genes and 65 pseudogenes (structurally similar genes that do not provide instructions for making proteins).
The Homeobox is a coding sequence within homeotic genes which contains 180 base-pair sequences, codes for 60 amino acid polypeptide Encodes homeodomain for DNA binding. Homeotic genes encode homeotic proteins that function as transcription factors which switch on other genes.ithorax gene complex (3 homeobox genes affecting thoracic development). Normal â wings on 2nd thoracic segment and 2 halteres on 3rd thoracic segment (far left photo, halteres in white). Mutant â 3rd segment has wings so 2 sets of wings and no halteres.
