Lipid transport by <i>Candida albicans</i> Dnf2 is required for hyphal growth and virulence

2022-06-11

Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans is a common cause of human mucosal yeast infections, and invasive candidiasis can be fatal. Antifungal medications are limited, but those targeting the pathogen cell wall or plasma membrane have been effective. Therefore, virulence factors controlling membrane biogenesis are potential targets for drug development. P4-ATPases contribute to membrane biogenesis by selecting and transporting specific...
