Coordinated regulation of pH alkalinization by two transcription factors promotes fungal commensalism and pathogenicity

Abstract excerpt

As a clinically relevant opportunistic human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans is able to rapidly sense and adapt to changing microenvironments within the host, a process that is essential for its successful invasion and survival. Although studies have shown that the transcription factor Stp2 is the master regulator of environmental alkalinization, accumulating evidence supports a clear involvement of other...
