Abstract excerpt
The activities of signaling pathways are critical for fungi to survive antifungal attack and to maintain cell integrity. However, little is known about how fungi respond to antifungals, particularly if these interact with multiple cellular targets. The antifungal protein AFP is a very potent inhibitor of chitin synthesis and membrane integrity in filamentous fungi and has so far not been reported to interfere...
