An alteration in the expression of cell wall structural proteins increases cell surface exposure of adhesins to promote virulence in Candida glabrata by Yaling Zhang, Shengwei Gong, Kang Xiong, Xiangtai Yu, Xinreng Mo, Chang Su, Yang Lu

“…Deletion of all six Srp1/Tip1-family genes that are upregulated during infection decreases the amount of cell wall-localized Epa1, probably reflecting the reduced adherence to epithelial cells and attenuated virulence in the sextuple mutant. These data suggest that alterations in the expression of Srp1/Tip1-family structural proteins trigger cell wall remodeling that increases the cell surface exposure of adhesins, such as Epa1, to promote virulence. …”
