Parallel Expansion and Divergence of an Adhesin Family in Pathogenic Yeasts Including <i>Candida auris</i>
2022-02-10
Abstract excerpt
Opportunistic yeast pathogens evolved multiple times in the Saccharomycetes class, including the recently emerged, multidrug-resistant Candida auris . We show that homologs of a known yeast adhesin family in Candida albicans , the Hyr/Iff-like (Hil) family, are enriched in distinct clades of Candida species as a result of multiple, independent expansions. Following gene duplication, the tandem repeat-rich regio...
