Abstract excerpt
The ability of the major systemic fungal pathogen of humans, Candida albicans, to sense and respond to reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as H(2)O(2) generated by the host immune system, is required for survival in the host. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms underlying such responses are poorly understood. Here, we show that thioredoxin (Trx1), in addition to its antioxidant activity, plays a...
