Abstract excerpt
Virulence of the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans depends on the switch from budding to filamentous growth. Deletion of the Arf GTPase Arl1 results in hyphae that are shorter as well as reduced virulence. How Arl1 is regulated during hyphal growth, a process characteristic of filamentous fungi, yet absent in S. cerevisiae, is unknown. Here, we investigated the importance of the Rab6 homolog, Ypt6, in...
