The transcriptional factor CaTup1p represses many genes involved in intracellular processes, including the yeast-hypha transition, in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Using tandem affinity purification technology, we identified a novel protein that interacts with CaTup1p, named Tcc1p (Tup1p complex component). Tcc1p is a C. albicans-specific protein with a 736-amino-acid polypeptide with four tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs in the N-terminal portion. Tcc1p formed a protein complex with CaTup1p via the TPR domain of Tcc1p, independently of CaSsn6p-CaTup1p. The tcc1 Delta disruptant showed filamentous growth under conditions inducing the yeast form, as is true of the Catup1 Delta mutant. Consistent with this result, the common set of hypha-specific genes was negatively regulated by both TCC1 and CaTUP1. These observations will provide new insights into CaTup1p-dependent transcriptional gene regulation in C. albicans.
