Regulation of heme utilization and homeostasis in <i>Candida albicans</i>
2022-06-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Heme (iron-protoporphyrin IX) is an essential but potentially toxic cellular cofactor. While most organisms are heme prototrophs, many microorganisms can utilize environmental heme as iron source. The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans can utilize host heme in the iron-poor host environment, using an extracellular cascade of soluble anchored hemophores, and plasma membrane ferric reductase-like...
