(Submitter supplied) We investigated the roles of mitochondrial dynamics in hyphal growth of C. albicans using the small molecule inhibitor MDIVI-1. Strikingly, the small molecule inhibitor represses both the yeast-to hyphae transition and ongoing filamentation, and its effects on morphogenesis can be uncoupled from general growth inhibition. RNAseq experiments of inhibitor-treated cells coupled with Candida mutant analyses suggest the existence of a novel mechanism of action to represses hyphal growth. 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 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) Candida albicans, the most common cause of human fungal infections, undergoes a reversible morphological transition from yeast to pseudohyphal and hyphal filaments, which is required for virulence. For many years, the relationship between global gene expression patterns associated with determination of specific C. albicans morphologies has remained obscure. Using a strain that can be genetically manipulated to sequentially transition from yeast to pseudohyphae to hyphae in the absence of complex environmental cues and upstream signaling pathways, we demonstrate by whole-genome transcriptional profiling that genes associated with pseudohyphae represent a subset of those associated hyphae and are generally expressed at lower levels; interestingly, no genes appeared to be expressed exclusively in pseudohyphae. more...

(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) 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) Eukaryotic cell growth is coordinated in response to nutrient availability, growth factors, and environmental stimuli, enabling cell–cell interactions that promote survival. 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...

(Submitter supplied) The dataset contains ChIP-Seq data of the Set3 and Hos2 proteins in Candida albicans, assayed in two morphological phases (yeast and hypha). The Set3 and Hos2 proteins in the respective strains carry 9myc epitopes and ChIP was performed with an anti-myc antibody. Included samples are the following: 1 input and 1 ChIP sample of an untagged wild type strain as negative control assayed in the yeast phase, 1 input and 3 ChIP biological replicates of the Set3-9myc strain in the yeast phase, 1 input and 2 ChIP biological replicates of the Set3-9myc strain in the hypha phase, 1 input and 2 ChIP biological replicates of the Hos2-9myc strain in the yeast phase, 1 input and 2 ChIP biological replicates of the Hos2-9myc strain in the hypha phase, 1 input and 3 ChIP biological replicates of Set3-9myc in a set1delta/delta background in the yeast phase.

(Submitter supplied) Fungal pathogens threaten ecosystems and human health. Understanding the molecular basis of their virulence is key to develop new treatment strategies. Here, we characterize NCS2*, a point mutation identified in a clinical baker's yeast isolate. Ncs2 is essential for 2-thiolation of tRNA and the NCS2* mutation leads to increased thiolation at body temperature. NCS2* yeast exhibits enhanced fitness when grown at elevated temperatures or when exposed to oxidative stress, inhibition of nutrient signalling, and cell-wall stress. more...
