Abstract excerpt
AIM: Glutaredoxin is a conserved oxidoreductase in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This study aimed to determine the role of Grx3 in cell survival, iron homeostasis and the oxidative stress response in Candida albicans. MATERIALS & METHODS: A grx3Δ/Δ mutant was obtained using PCR-mediated homologs recombination. The function of Grx3 was investigated by a series of biochemical methods. RESULTS: Deletion of GRX3...
