Comparative proteomic analysis of a Candida albicans DSE1 mutant under filamentous and non-filamentous conditions by Khalaf, Roy A.

“…The DSE1 mutant was shown to lack the chitin biosynthesis protein Chs5, explaining the previously observed decrease in chitin biosynthesis. The wild-type strain expressed Pra1, involved in pH response and zinc acquisition, Atg15, a lipase involved in virulence, and Sod1, required for oxidative stress tolerance, in addition to proteins involved in protein biosynthesis, explaining the increase in total protein content observed compared to the mutants strain. …”
