Abstract excerpt
Proteases, key virulence factors of many bacterial and fungal pathogens, are pivotally important for nutrient acquisition, invasion and adherence to host cells and evasion/escape from host immune cells. In this study, we report a novel role for CgYps1, member of a family of 11 GPI-linked aspartyl proteases, in a human opportunistic fungal pathogen, Candida glabrata, in the regulation of pH homeostasis under...
