N-acetylglucosamine kinase, HXK1 contributes to white-opaque morphological transition in Candida albicans.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 28 Feb 2014

Abstract excerpt

Morphological transition (yeast-hyphal and white-opaque) is an important biological process in the life cycle of pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans and is a major determinant of virulence. Earlier reports show that the amino sugar, N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) induces white to opaque switching in this pathogen. We report here a new contributor to this switching phenomenon, namely N-acetylglucosamine kinase or...
