An opaque cell-specific expression program of secreted proteases and transporters allows cell-type cooperation in <i>Candida albicans</i>

2020-04-23

Abstract excerpt

An unusual feature of the opportunistic pathogen C. albicans is its ability to stochastically switch between two distinct, heritable cell types called white and opaque. Here, we show that only opaque cells, in response to environmental signals, massively up-regulate a specific group of secreted proteases and peptide transporters, allowing exceptionally efficient use of proteins as sources of nitrogen. We identify...
