Abstract excerpt
The cell surface of Candida albicans is the immediate point of contact with the host. The outer layer of the cell wall is enriched in highly glycosylated mannoproteins that are implicated in many aspects of the host-fungus interaction. Glycosylation of cell wall proteins is initiated in the endoplasmic reticulum and then elaborated in the Golgi as the protein passes through the secretory pathway. Golgi-bound...
