Efg1 is essential for hyphal development in the human pathogen Candida albicans under most conditions. Efg1 is related to basic helix-loop-helix regulators, and therefore most workers presume that Efg1 is a transcription factor. Here we confirm that Efg1 is a DNA binding protein that can interact specifically with the E box.
