Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the role of Candida albicans yeast casein kinase 2 (CaYck2p) in regulating morphogenesis and biofilm formation in the fungus.
- The yck2Δ/yck2Δ strain of C. albicans showed abnormal growth patterns, including constitutive pseudohyphae and heightened biofilm formation, which correlated with the upregulation of genes related to hyphal transition and cell wall structure.
- Additionally, the absence of CaYck2p led to increased sensitivity to cell wall stress and impaired host cell damage capabilities, indicating its crucial role in maintaining cell integrity and fungal-host interactions.
