Article Synopsis
- GPI-anchored proteins, crucial for the growth of fungi like Candida albicans, play key roles in cell-wall integrity and nutrient uptake.
- Researchers focused on the gene orf19.5244, a homologue of a gene involved in GPI synthesis, finding that its expression restored growth in yeast mutants lacking this gene.
- Experiments showed that suppressing this gene in C. albicans led to reduced growth and abnormal morphology, highlighting its importance as a potential target for antifungal treatments.
