Abstract excerpt
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) plays a crucial role in the transportation and degradation of proteins. We determined that Vps27, a key protein of the ESCRT-0 complex, is required for the transport of the virulence factor laccase to the cell wall in Cryptococcus neoformans Laccase activity was perturbed, as was melanin production, in vps27Δ strains. In the absence of VPS27, there was...
