Induction of a high affinity fibronectin receptor in Candida albicans by caspofungin: requirements for beta (1,6) glucans and the developmental regulator Hbr1p.

Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans expresses at least two biochemically distinct fibronectin receptors. Hemoglobin induces expression of a low affinity receptor recognizing the fibronectin cell-binding domain, whereas growth in complex media induces a high affinity receptor recognizing the collagen-binding domain....
