pH Signaling in Human Fungal Pathogens: a New Target for Antifungal Strategies

Abstract excerpt

Fungi are exposed to broadly fluctuating environmental conditions, to which adaptation is crucial for their survival. An ability to respond to a wide pH range, in particular, allows them to cope with rapid changes in their extracellular settings. PacC/Rim signaling elicits the primary pH response in both model and pathogenic fungi and has been studied in multiple fungal species. In the predominant human...
