The fungal plasma membrane is critical for cell wall synthesis and other important processes
including nutrient uptake, secretion, endocytosis, morphogenesis, and response to stress …

Candida albicans is a human fungal pathogen capable of causing lethal systemic infections.
The plasma membrane plays key roles in virulence because it not only functions as a …

Many phytopathogenic fungi use infection structures (IFSs, ie, appressoria and infection
cushions) to penetrate host cuticles. However, the conserved mechanisms that mediate …

Septins are a conserved family of GTPases that regulate important cellular processes such
as cell wall integrity, and septation in fungi. The requirement of septins for virulence has …

Septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that are distributed across different
lineages of the eukaryotes, with the exception of plants. Septins perform a myriad of …

Aspergillus fumigatus, the main etiological agent of invasive aspergillosis, is a leading
cause of death in immunocompromised patients. Septins, a conserved family of GTP-binding …

Candida albicans is a fungal human pathogen that can cause life-threatening infections in
immunocompromised patients, in part, due to its ability to switch between an oval budding …
