Abstract excerpt
AIM: V-ATPase is a conservative multi-subunit enzyme in eukaryotes and modulates several cellular responses. This study aimed to illustrate the roles of Vma5 in vacuolar function, oxidative stress response, calcium homeostasis, autophagy and virulence. MATERIALS & METHODS: The vma5Δ/Δ mutant was obtained using PCR-mediated homologous recombination. The functions of Vma5 were investigated by a series of...
