Abstract excerpt
Stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathways are evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic signalling modules that are essential for the virulence of human pathogenic fungi. The Hog1 SAPK in Candida albicans is robustly phosphorylated in response to a number of host-imposed stresses, and is essential for virulence. The current dogma is that stress-induced phosphorylation activates the SAPK, and promotes its nuclear...
