Abstract excerpt
Inositol-phosphorylceramide synthase 1 (Ipc1) is a fungal-specific enzyme that regulates the level of two bioactive molecules, phytoceramide and diacylglycerol (DAG). In previous studies, we demonstrated that Ipc1 regulates the expression of the antiphagocytic protein 1 (App1), a novel fungal factor involved in pathogenicity of Cryptococcus neoformans. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which Ipc1...
