Abstract excerpt
The vacuolar membrane ATPase (V-ATPase) is a protein complex that utilizes ATP hydrolysis to drive protons from the cytosol into the vacuolar lumen, acidifying the vacuole and modulating several key cellular response systems in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To study the contribution of V-ATPase to the biology and virulence attributes of the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, we created a conditional...
