The Candida albicans biofilm gene circuit modulated at the chromatin level by a recent molecular histone innovation.
Histone H3 and its variants regulate gene expression but the latter are absent in most ascomycetous fungi. Here, we report the identification of a variant histone H3, which we have designated H3VCTG because of its exclusive presence in the CTG clade of ascomycetes, including Candida albicans, a huma...
