The Adhesin Hwp1 and the First Daughter Cell Localize to the a/a Portion of the Conjugation Bridge duringCandida albicansMating
21 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
The cell wall protein Hwp1 was originally demonstrated to be expressed exclusively in hyphae of Candida albicans and cross-linked to human epithelium by mammalian transglutaminase. Hwp1 is expressed on the walls of hyphae formed by a/alpha, a/a, and alpha/alpha cells. Hence, it is expressed on hyphae independently of mating type. However, Hwp1 is selectively expressed on the wall of conjugation tubes formed by...
