Phosphate starvation induces replacement of phospholipids with the betaine lipid diacylglycerol-N,N,N-trimethylhomoserine in the human fungal pathogen <i>Candida albicans</i>
2017-10-16
Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that phosphate starvation induces replacement of phosphatidylcholine with the betaine lipid diacylglyceryl- N , N , N -trimethylhomoserine (DGTS) in fungi. In Neurospora crassa , the BTA1 gene encodes the betaine lipid synthase, which is necessary and sufficient for DGTS synthesis. BTA1 expression and DGTS accumulation are part of the fungal phosphorus (P i ) deprivation (PHO)...
