Genetic evidence suggests that Gib2 promotes cAMP levels through the Ras1-Cac1 interaction. A, Ras1 negatively regulates melanin formation, whereas Cac1 is required for melanin formation (cAMP signaling) in all of the strains including F4 (gpa1 GAL7-GIB2). B, Ras1 negatively regulates capsule formation in the absence of normal Gpa1 signaling. Induction conditions for melanin and capsule were as the same as those described in Fig. 2.
