Abstract excerpt
The protein kinase Snf1, a member of the highly conserved AMP-activated protein kinase family, is a central regulator of metabolic adaptation. In the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, Snf1 is considered to be essential, as previous attempts by different research groups to generate homozygous snf1Δ mutants were unsuccessful. We aimed to elucidate why Snf1 is required for viability in C. albicans by generating...
