(Submitter supplied) Candida albicans is the most common opportunistic fungal pathogen of humans and is also a benign member of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract microbiota. Morphological transitions and metabolic regulation are critical for C. albicans to adapt to the changing host environment. We generated a library of central metabolic pathway mutants in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and investigated the functional consequences of these gene deletions on C. more...

(Submitter supplied) C. albicans is a dimorphic yeast which can switch from budding yeast and to hyphal forms and this property is essential for biofilm establishment and maturation. C. albicans undergoes this yeast-to-hyphal switch in response to high CO2. The purpose of this study is to use RNA-seq to investigate pathways whose genes are differentially expressed when C. albicans biofilms are grown in a physiologically relevant elevated (5%) CO2 environment compared to a low/atmospheric (0.03%) CO2 environment. more...

(Submitter supplied) The polymorphic yeast Candida albicans exists in blastospore and filamentous forms. The switch from one morphological state to the other coincides with the expression of virulence factors, which makes the yeast-to-hypha transition an attractive target for the development of new antifungal agents. Because an untapped therapeutic potential resides in small molecules that hinder C. albicans filamentation, we characterized the inhibitory effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on hyphal growth and addressed its mechanism of action. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Regulation of Ace2 and Morphogenesis (RAM) pathway is an important regulatory network in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. The RAM pathway’s two most well-studied components, the NDR/Lats kinase Cbk1 and its putative substrate, the transcription factor Ace2, have a wide range of phenotypes and functions. It is not clear, however, which of these functions are specifically due to the phosphorylation of Ace2 by Cbk1. more...

(Submitter supplied) The conserved cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) holoenzyme is composed of two catalytic and two regulatory subunits. It plays critical roles in the regulation of many biological processes in eukaryotic organisms. In the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, the PKA kinase has been extensively investigated for its importance in the regulation of morphological transitions and virulence. It has been long thought that the PKA catalytic subunit is essential for cell viability in C. more...

(Submitter supplied) Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are closely related species displaying differences in virulence and genome content, therefore providing potential opportunities to identify novel C. albicans virulence genes. C. albicans gene arrays were used for comparative analysis of global gene expression in the two species in reconstituted human oral epithelium (RHE). C. albicans (SC5314) showed upregulation of hypha-specific and virulence genes within 30 min postinoculation, coinciding with rapid induction of filamentation and increased RHE damage. more...

(Submitter supplied) Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can infect oral mucosal surfaces despite being under continuous flow from saliva. Previous studies have shown that under specific conditions C. albicans will form microcolonies that more closely resemble the biofilms formed in vivo than standard in vitro biofilm models. However, very little is known about these microcolonies, particularly genomic differences between these specialized biofilm structures and the traditional in vitro biofilms. more...

(Submitter supplied) The identification of novel transcription factors associated to antifungal response may allow the discovery of fungal specific targets for new therapeutic strategies. A collection of 241 C. albicans transcriptional regulators mutants was screened for altered susceptibility to fluconazole, caspofungin, amphotericin B, and 5-fluorocytosine. Thirteen of these mutants not yet identified in their role in antifungal response were further investigated, and the function of one of them, mutant for orf19.6102 (RCA1) was characterized by transcriptome analysis. more...

(Submitter supplied) The capacity of the commensal yeast Candida albicans to grow in several forms, referred to as phenotypic plasticity, is critical for its survival, and abilities to thrive and cause infection in the human host. In this study, we report a novel phenotype of C. albicans, referred as the “gray” phenotype. The gray cell type, together with the previously discovered “white” and “opaque” cell types, forms a tristable phenotypic switching system. more...

(Submitter supplied) To investigate the function of Rfg1 in sensing acidic pH and regulating filamentation in C. albicans, we performed the global gene expression profile analysis of WT and rfg1/rfg1 mutant.We reveal that Rfg1 is an essential acidic pH sensor in C. albicans. Rfg1 regulates filamentous growth in acidic pH condition via co-regulation of Rim101-Phr1 pathway, cAMP signaling pathway,and the transcription factors Bcr1, Efg1, Flo8, and Hgc1.

(Submitter supplied) Our genetic screen reveals that deletion of CTM1, which abolishes the lysine trimethylation of cytochrome c (Cyc1), results in inhibition of hyphal morphogenesis in Candida albicans. Similar results are observed in the unmethylatable Cyc1 mutant (cyc1K79A). To elucidate how unmethylated Cyc1 inhibits hyphal growth, we performed RNA-Seq analysis by comparing WT (BWP17), ctm1∆/∆, and cyc1K79A cells grown in yeast and hyphal condition. more...

(Submitter supplied) Inside the human host, the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans colonizes predominantly oxygen-poor niches such as the gastrointestinal and vaginal tracts, but also oxygen-rich environments such as cutaneous epithelial cells and oral mucosa. This suppleness requires an effective mechanism to reprogram reversibly the primary metabolism in response to oxygen variation. Here, we have uncovered that Snf5, a subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, is a major transcriptional regulator that links oxygen status to the metabolic capacity of C. more...

(Submitter supplied) Candida albicans is a part of the normal microbiome of human mucosa and is able to thrive in a wide range of host environments. As an opportunistic pathogen, the virulence of C. albicans is tied to its ability to switch between yeast and hyphal morphologies in response to various environmental cues, one of which includes nutrient availability. Thus, metabolic flexibility plays an important role in the virulence of the pathogen. more...

(Submitter supplied) The cyclic AMP-protein kinase A pathway has a central role in the biology of Candida albicans, a prominent fungal pathogen of humans. The two catalytic subunits for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, Tpk1 (orf19.4892) and Tpk2 (orf19.2277), have divergent roles, and most studies indicate a more pronounced role for Tpk2. Here we dissect two Tpk1-responsive properties: adherence and cell wall integrity. more...

The rapamycin-sensitive Tor1 protein kinase, which is conserved from yeasts to humans, participates in a signaling pathway central to cellular nutrient responses. To gain insight into Tor-mediated processes in human fungal pathogens, we have characterized Tor signaling in Candida albicans. more...

(Submitter supplied) The opportunistic human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, undergoes morphological and transcriptional adaptation in the switch from commensalism to pathogenicity. Although previous gene-knockout studies have identified many factors involved in this transformation, it remains unclear how these factors are regulated to coordinate the switch. Investigating morphogenetic control by post-translational phosphorylation has generated important regulatory insights into this process, especially focusing on coordinated control by the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc28. more...
