Abstract excerpt
SIT4 encodes the multifunctional catalytic subunit of a type 2A-related protein phosphatase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and has been implicated in cell cycle regulation and nitrogen sensing. We have identified the Candida albicans homologue of SIT4, and we show that its disruption caused a significant reduction in general growth rate, in hyphal outgrowth and in virulence in a mouse infection model. These...
